Abstract
Functionally graded aluminum (FG) foam with varying pore structure was fabricated by utilizing friction stir processing. Die castings containing a large amount of gas were used as the starting material. The obtained FG foam had two different deformation stages and two plateau regions with a seamless bonding interface.
► For the first time functionally graded closed-cell aluminum foam was fabricated by friction stir welding. ► Deformation can be controlled at the desired location with the desired plateau stress. ► The obtained FG foam had two different deformation stages and two plateau regions with a seamless bonding interface.
