Abstract

Aluminium foams have been manufactured and discovered to have a variety of uses in automotive and structural applications. However, due to their varied characteristics, it is difficult to choose an appropriate material. In this context, the selection of material for good properties is a challenging task. This study attempted to identify materials from various combinations employing the Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) technique based on their mechanical and physical properties. Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique employed for evaluating the ranking order of the aluminium composite foam’s formulations based on performance measures. The composite foam with 2.5 wt.% of Calcium carbonate as foaming agent demonstrated the best combination of mechanical properties.
