From scrap and used parts to high-performance materials: New circular pathways for aluminum foam

Executive Briefing & Key Highlights

Aluminum foam is one of the lightest structural materials available. Thanks to its low density, high energy absorption capacity and excellent damping properties, it is suitable for applications in automotive engineering, machine structures, construction and energy-efficient lightweight systems, among others. Today, however, aluminum foam is produced primarily from aluminum alloy powders, which are
