Abstract
Material development is presented with the aim of increasing the mechanical properties of light metals with respect to their mass density. Processing and properties of particulate as well as of continuous fibre reinforced aluminium and magnesium matrix alloys are described. Examples of weight reduction of metals by foaming are given for aluminium and iron base alloys. Some mechanical properties of metal foams are defined and results are presented in function of apparent mass density. The particular advantages of these heterogenous materials for possible applications are mentioned.
