The invention describes a process for the production of fiber-
reinforced aluminum foam. The composite has advantages
compared to the non-reinforced foam like higher mechanical
properties and greater stiffness. By the fibers the influence of
the non-homogeneous pore distribution can be reduced. Withe
respective reinforcement fibers the energy absorption can be
increased to without increasing the global density.
This approach is particularly suitable for regions where the local climate is strongly influenced by the ocean and therefore falls within the global climate…
