Abstract : In this investigation metal composite foams were produced by casting aluminum melt around hollow ceramic spheres arranged in steel meshes. Metal composite foams with two types of ordered arrangements and relatively same density were produced and their mechanical properties were studied by compressive test. Comparison of stress-strain curves shows that strength to density ratio and energy absorption per unit volume are significantly different. In each arrangement reproducibility achieved in curves behavior. Arrangement can be used as a parameter in controlling the mechanical properties in specific direction and may be applied as parameter in energy absorber design. Keywords: metal composite foams; hollow ceramic spheres; ordered arrangement; casting; compressive test.
