What is Nickel foam?

Nickel Foam is a low density, high permeability metal foam with a wide range of applications. The defining feature of this foam is its extremely high porosity, with holes accounting for 75-95% of its volume. It has an interconnected cellular structure with over 95% high porosity. It has a relatively large surface area due to its high porosity and is useful in applications where a high surface to volume ratio is required. The inspiration for the product lies in the structure of reticulated polymer foam. The pores contain gases, making the product lightweight, and the square cube law makes it strong.
Nickel foam is a new form of porous metallic substance with a specific number and size of pores and a specific porosity. It has remarkable homogeneity, low weight, high porosity, inherent strength, corrosion resistance, superior thermal stability, low bulk density, high specific surface area, strong energy absorption, high specific strength and high specific rigidity. The through-hole body has excellent permeability and substantial heat transfer and dispersion properties. Metal foams with different properties and indications can be perfectly suited for a wide range of functional and structural purposes and can have both structural and functional properties. They have a high impact on energy absorption as well as mechanical damping.
