ABSTRACT:
A highly efficient impact absorber for protecting articles against destructive mechanical impact. The invention has special applicability to containers for flammable materials, scientific instruments, or other fragile mechanisms or articles which may be damaged or become hazardous when ruptured. The impact absorber includes a layer or layers of expanded metal net made from magnesium alloy foil having a thickness in the range from about 0.02 to 0.50 mm. A preferred embodiment utilizes a contained layer or layers of nested spheroids formed from expanded metal sheets made from magnesium foil.
