- Abstract
- Metallic foam is a type of cellular solid structure that consists of gas filled in its pores. The cell wall of pores can be opened or closed. Much development has been done in recent years to increase the applications of metallic foam in real life such as clinical, medical and engineering applications. There are various engineering applications such as aerospace, railway industries, heat exchangers, automobile industries and many more. However main emphasis is laid on automobiles. For which it is found that CaCO3 is the best suitable agent for the manufacture of Mg-foam. However, no research had been done on Dolomite for the fabrication of Mg-foam. In this paper, an attempt is made to use the Dolomite as the foaming agent.
