Abstract:

Aluminum foam has been widely used in aviation and spaceflight, ships, cars, transportation, construction, petrochemicals, telecommunications, etc. For decades, scholars have done a lot of research work. Mature and stable production preparation process of aluminum foams has been possessed. At present, the practical application design and production has becomes a hot issue. Based on analysis a flood of literature, aluminum foams owned mechanical properties and application, property evolution after filling thin wall tube; all were inductive research and reviewed in the paper. Moreover, material structure design factor, experimental comparisons, application in the automobile industry, development situation, as well forecasted its market prospect, all this were summarized. Suggestions on aluminum foam applications in the automotive industry had been proposed. Consequently, promote the process of the research efforts on the application of aluminum foam in the car, provide to designer and research worker with reference.
