Aluminum foam is used for applications that requires high level of energy and sound absorption characteristics. Researchers have developed an innovative process to make high strength cellular ...

Aluminum is transformed into high-quality pipes through compression techniques at a cutting-edge manufacturing facility. This process, performed with advanced machinery, ensures that each pipe is ...

The aim of the researchers from the EU research project CREATING was to find a processing method to build large aluminum foam sandwich plates. These compounds could eventually replace steel plates of ...

Polymer Infused Composite Metal Foam as a Potential Aircraft Leading Edge Material. Applied Surface Science, 2019; 144114 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsusc.2019.144114 ...

1 / 2 Show Caption + Aluminum foam is inexpensive to produce, and it can be made into various sizes and shapes, including panels. While it is currently manufactured and shipped from South Korea ...

Previous work has found the metal foam is remarkably tough: it can withstand .50 caliber rounds, resist high temperatures, and block blast pressure from high explosive incendiary rounds.

Metcomb’s engineers keep the cells in their foam uniform by adjusting the nanoscale oxide layer on the cell surface and by adding small-scale particles to molten aluminum, which controls its ...

Commuters may soon be whisked to work in train cars made of aluminum foam, a composite material that’s stronger, lighter, and has better crash-test characteristics than traditional fiberglass or ...

Back in 2014, we heard how scientists from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research had developed a wood-based foam that could be used as eco-friendly insulation. Now, they've combined it ...
