- Title
Lightweight metal matrix syntactic foam.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the development of a matrix syntactic foam, a light weight AZ91D magnesium-based alloy. Topics discussed include views of researcher Nikhil Gupta on magnesium alloys, its mechanical strength, damping parameters superior to other magnesium alloy, presence of silicon carbide to improve stability at high temperature, applications for the foam in automotive components like engine cover castings and alternator covers, and in improving fuel economy and efficiency.
