The Advanced Materials Research Lab (AMRL) at North Carolina State University is creating a new class of metallic foam, known as composite metal foam (CMF), to combine the benefits of metal matrix composites and metallic foams. In the past decade, the focus has been on developing the technology to process the CMFs through both powder metallurgy and casting techniques and compare the properties of the products administered using each technique with other metal foams. The CMF has up to 7-8 times higher energy absorption compared to any other metal foam made from similar materials and its energy absorption is almost two orders of magnitude higher under loading compared to the original bulk materials.
