Abstract

A good knowledge of the thermal properties, and more specifically of the thermal conductivity, is determinant for a proper materials selection and technical design of real applications using metallic hollow spheres structures (MHSS). As a consequence, it is necessary to know with precision which are the MHSS parameters that influence on these properties. The modelling presented in this chapter is carried out taking into account the different processing possibilities for these materials. Sphere size, sphere thickness, sphere packing, and metallic/adhesive bonding are the main parameters considered in this exhaustive study. To this end analytic models are combined to obtain a final expression that considers all the above-mentioned processing parameters. Additionally, thermal conductivity of the MHSS is compared with other cellular metallic materials produced with different technologies and based on several alloys such aluminium, copper, magnesium and zinc.
