Aluminium foam sandwich (AFS) with metallurgical bonding between face sheets and core has high potential for lightweight design. The present paper studies failure mechanisms and mechanical characteristics under quasi‐static bending load to support safe dimensioning of parts. For this purpose, failure charts are provided based on a weakest‐link approach which incorporates local material properties and reflects scatter of sandwich properties.
