Abstract: In this article, a new hybrid material is elaborated, which combines the advantages of the mechanically more resistive alloy-based composites and the effective lubricating properties of tin-based alloys with the purpose ...

Abstract: This article presents a review of current methods for production of metallic open-cell porous materials through space holders. The methods are divided into two major groups: on the basis of sintering and using liquid phase ...

Abstract: This work presents an overview of structural characteristics and basic mechanical properties of the open-cell metallic foams obtained by different space-holder methods, which are discussed in Part I of the same review. The ...
