Magnesium (Mg) and magnesium alloys are used for biomedical applications (e.g., Fracture fixation) since they have good mechanical properties, biocompatibilities, and reduced weight properties. The cellular structure of foam metals dissimilar to the bone; hence, magnesium foam can be used for biomedical applications. Fabrication of magnesium is a tough job due to its high risk of catching fire during the fabrication process and its low melting point. Powder metallurgy is one of the methods for fabricating Magnesium foam. Magnesium is blended with Titanium Hydride at various quantities, preformed, compacted, and cured to prepare the metal foam. The porosity and structure of the prepared metal foam are found out by SEM analysis; also hardness test is carried out. Metal foam is abundantly used in brakes absorber and a shock absorber, which is found in automobiles. Metal foam is used in automobiles. In addition, the metal, which is foamed, has good vibration resistance, disassembly, and other perfect properties when compared with foamed ceramics. Therefore, studying the compression deformation character and absorption of energy property of magnesium foam is essential.

Abstract:

Magnesium (Mg) and magnesium alloys are used for biomedical applications (e.g., Fracture fixation) since they have good mechanical properties, biocompatibilities, and reduced weight properties. The cellular structure of foam metals dissimilar to the bone; hence, magnesium foam can be used for biomedical applications. Fabrication of magnesium is a tough job due to its high risk of catching fire during the fabrication process and its low melting point. Powder metallurgy is one of the methods for fabricating Magnesium foam. Magnesium is blended with Titanium Hydride at various quantities, preformed, compacted, and cured to prepare the metal foam. The porosity and structure of the prepared metal foam are found out by SEM analysis; also hardness test is carried out. Metal foam is abundantly used in brakes absorber and a shock absorber, which is found in automobiles. Metal foam is used in automobiles. In addition, the metal, which is foamed, has good vibration resistance, disassembly, and other perfect properties when compared with foamed ceramics. Therefore, studying the compression deformation character and absorption of energy property of magnesium foam is essential.
