Reviews
Offers an insight into metal foams which are often at the forefront of technological development for the automotive, aerospace, and other weight-dependent industries.The text provides an excellent data base of information on the properties, performance, and applications of these materials.The text offers a concise description of metal foams...applications are nicely covered. --Sampe Journal Offers a concise description of metal foams, their manufacture, and their advantages in industry. Provides engineers with answers to vital design questions surrounding metal foams. Satisfies a major need for information on the properties, performance, and applications of these materials. --Engineering Designer ...this book is an interesting read even for those with little research or commercial interest in metallic foams. --Materials World This book does what the title suggests-it provides the reader with a rich resource on metallic foams. It is bang up-to-date, with many references less than two years old. --Materials World ...this book has everything you ever wanted to know about metalic foams but were afraid to ask. --Materials World
