Espuma ultraliviana de Mg a partir de viruta reciclada

ABSTRACT Hundreds of people worldwide die or are severely maimed in collisions during traffic accidents, due to the energy transmitted to the passengers on impact. A dissipation of said energy is necessary to minimize it's effects, which can be achieved through absorbers. In recent years, metallic foams have started to be considered as energy absorbers. Metallic foams are relatively unknown structural materials, but with huge potential for applications where low weight but high rigidity are of primary interest. The use of ultralight magnesium (Mg) or magnesium alloy foams has two main advantag...
