Abstract
A metallic closed cellular material containing in-organic materials has been fabricated. Powder particles of in-organic materials coated with nickel-phosphorus alloy and copper layer using electro-less plating were pressed and sintered at high temperatures in a vacuum condition by a spark plasma sintering method. Metallic closed cellular materials containing inorganic materials were then fabricated. The three points bending tests were carried out to measure the mechanical properties of these materials. Damping properties and physical properties were also measured. The results showed that these metallic closed cellular materials have different strength and different internal frictions among the specimens that containing different materials.
