Oct 24, 2023

Metal foam is a celled structure composed of solid ligaments and permeable pores. This cell and ligament matrix is completely customizable and can be optimized to meet the performance requirements of a wide range of applications.

Metal foam, also known as foamed metal, is widely used in applications that benefit from a large surface area and the nature-like morphology of the rigid cellular structure.

What is Metal Foam Used For?
Structures with low weight and a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Impact absorption and energy dissipation - High energy absorption capacity.
Thermal management entails the efficient transfer and dissipation of heat.
Diffusors provide dependable flow and fluctuation control as well as complete gas or fluid mixing.
Flame Arrestors - Flame cannot pass through the foam.
