Abstract
Foams and other highly porous metallic materials with cellular structures are known to have many interesting combinations of physical and mechanical properties. That makes these systems very attractive for both structural and functional applications. Cellular metals can be produced by several methods including liquid infiltration of leachable space holders. In this contribution, results on metal foams of Cu based shape memory alloys (SMAs) processed by molten metal infiltration of SiO2 particles are presented. By using this route, highly homogeneous CuZnAl SMA foams with a spherical open-cell morphologies have been manufactured and tested. Morphological, thermo-mechanical and cycling results are reported.
