Metal Foam

Foams offer other interesting features, thermo physically and mechanically:
● Very low mass (density 5–25% of the bulk solid depending the manufacturing method)
● Large exchange surface (250–10000 m2/m3)
● Relatively high permeability
● Relatively high effective thermal conductivities (5–30 W/(mK))
● Good resistance to thermal shocks, high pressures, high temperatures, moisture, wear and thermal cycling
● Good absorption of mechanical shock and sound
● Pore size and porosity can be controlled by the manufacturer

Metal foam can be used in product or architectural composition.
