The tubular structures were manufactured using the powder metallurgy technique. Tubular aluminum foams were fabricated by heating foamable precursor materials above their melting temperature in a mould. The influence of important parameters such as wall thickness and density of foam on the mechanical properties was investigated. It was found that the 6 mm thick specimen showed a lower collapse strength than the thicker 9 mm specimen. Despite the decrease in densities of the samples, the collapse strength increased with the increase in wall thickness. The reduction of approximately 33 % in wall thickness (from t = 9 mm to 6 mm) decreased the bending performance of the tubular aluminum foams by approximately 50 %.falseAl foam | Cellular materials | Mechanical characterization | Powder metallurgyArticle10.3139/146.11143010.3139/146.1114302-s2.0-84994516275WOS:00038788400000399610041072195-8556
