Powder metallurgy and rapid microwave (MW) sintering techniques were successfully applied to engineer a hybrid cell structure into magnesium alloy AZ61 syntactic foams. The hybrid cell structure, comprising open- and closed-cells, originated from leached carbamide granules and hollow microspheres of...
