Abstract
Porous aluminum is a lightweight material with high energy absorption properties. In this study, impact test of A1050-ADC12 functionally graded porous aluminum fabricated by friction stir processing (FSP) route was carried out. It was shown that deformation began from low strength A1050 layer. This result is consistence with result of static compression test of A1050-ADC 12 functionally graded porous aluminum.
