- Description
- Metallic syntactic foams are fabricated through the combination of ZA27 alloy and cork particles. This novel methodology embodies a holistic sustainability paradigm, harnessing a fully recyclable metal matrix alongside naturally proliferating cork. It results in samples with densities from 2007 to 2251 kg/m3 and around 60 % porosity. Uni-axial compression tests reveal a high offset yield strength (26.7 to 37.8 MPa) and substantial energy absorption of 13.4 to 20.4 MJ/m3.
