Deformation of open-cell Microcellular pure aluminum investigated by the acoustic emission technique

Abstract

Acoustic Emission (AE) is used to characterize the plastic deformation of open-cell pure aluminum foams produced by salt replication. Measurements were performed on samples with cells 25, 75 or 400 μm in average diameter, all with a relative density near 24%.
