Abstract

Metal foams are cellular materials with outstanding specific mechanical properties, such as high specific energy absorption capacity, owing to its cellular structure. Metal foams are cellular materials with good specific mechanical properties, such as high specific energy absorption, owing to the metal matrix. The aim of this study is to simplify the reinforcement of syntactic metal foams with directional fibres. In previous studies, the fibres were positioned using an external orientation frame. To avoid this, reinforcing material layers in a prefabricated mesh form were placed in the crucible, which is thus perpendicular to the direction of the casting. The fabrication resulted in syntactic metal foam samples reinforced with fibres oriented along two axes.
