泡沫金属在 20 世纪 90 年代初被重新发现后，现已开始工业化生产。在大多数应用中，泡沫铝用作复合材料，即与其他材料组合。复合材料一方面可以分为平面或复杂形状的夹层结构，另一方面可以分为3维形状的泡沫部件。描述了过程和可行的几何形状。说明了材料特性和工业应用。在一个公共资助项目中，评估了具有泡沫铝芯层的夹层复合材料在铁路车辆中的应用。调查的中心目标是生产车辆前部模块的大部分。介绍了该项目的结果。
After their rediscovery in the beginning of the 90ies foamed metals are now being produced on an industrial scale. In most applications the aluminium foam is used as composite material, i.e. in combination with other materials.The composites can be distinguished into flat or complex shaped sandwich structures on the one hand, and 3-dimensional shaped foam parts on the other hand. The processes and feasible geometries are described. The material properties and the industrial applications are illustrated.Within a publicly funded project the utilisation of sandwich composites with an aluminium foam core layer was evaluated regarding applications for railroad vehicles. The central aim of the investigation was the production of a large segment of the vehicle's front module. Results of this project are presented.
