Compression tests measured the mechanical properties of AlSi10MnMg matrix syntactic foams filled with lightweight expanded clay particles (LECAPs). The metal matrix syntactic foams were produced by low-pressure liquid state infiltration method. Two types of LECAPs were used during production. One with ∼3 mm diameter and the other type with ∼9 mm diameter. The samples were machined and heat treated. The T6 heat treatment caused a significant increase in the properties in terms of plateau strength and absorbed energy. Also, the heat treatment caused a different failure mode in the case of the LECAP-9, which is why the absorbed energy increased by ∼50% compared to the as-cast sample.
