The article presents an overview of the mechanical properties of metallic foams. All properties were measured on metal foam samples fabricated by means of the process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute, but the results should be valid for a wider class of closed cell metallic foams. A series of destructive and non-destructive tests were conducted on foam samples to measure the elastic properties, yield strength, flexural strength and energy absorption capability. Potential applications of using the metal foam as an energy absorber are also discussed.
