The development of cost-effective techniques to produce metal parts with integrated cellular structure is the newly developed process of integral foam molding.
This book shows in three parts the technology, the fundamentals and the simulation models for the Integral Foam Molding of Light Metals. Part I: Technology shows for the first time that foaming of metals is possible by applying molding techniques very similar to polymer integral foam molding. It introduces and discusses in detail a low pressure and a high pressure process of foam molding. Part II: Physics is devoted to the...
