The porous metal material is an ideal functional material with low density, high specific stiffness, and good energy absorption effect. It has been widely studied and used for various applications. In this paper, a new method to fabricate porous metal based on cubic cells was studied. In order to study the mechanical properties of this energy absorbing material, some samples are prepared for the actual quasi-static and dynamic impact tests. By analyzing the experimental results, feasibility of the method can be verified. This work may extend the range of porous metal materials, and provide foundations for further optimization of porous metals.
