Abstract: As a porous elastic metallic material, metal rubber has demonstrated irreplaceable application value in strategic national fields such as spacecraft vibration damping and nuclear industry sealing, owing to its unique nonlinear hysteresis effect and exceptional adaptability to extreme environments. Despite significant advancements in recent years in understanding the macro-micro mechanical behavior of metal rubber, challenges such as limited digitization in manufacturing processes, absence of multi-field coupling constitutive models, and poorly characterized degradation mechanisms of in-service performance continue to hinder the transition of this material system from an empirical trial-and-error paradigm to a design-driven engineering framework. This paper provides a systematic review of the entire research progress spanning the preparation-structure-property-application chain of metal rubber, offering a comprehensive overview of its development from fabrication to practical implementation. Firstly, it provides an in-depth analysis of the manufacturing processes of metal rubber and summarizes the phenomenological and microstructural theoretical modeling. Secondly, it comprehensively reviews the influence of key factors such as wire type and porosity on the static and dynamic mechanical responses of the material, while also systematically summarizing the current applications of metal rubber in vibration damping, noise reduction, filtration, and composite derivative products. Finally, based on the identified shortcomings in current research, the paper outlines future directions for the development of metal rubber, offering insights for advancing theoretical innovation and engineering applications of this material.
