Question

The advantages of metal foams compared to other materials

Answer 1

The key properties of metal foamare as follows: Ultralight material(75–95% of the volume consists of void spaces) Very high porosity. High compression strengths combined with good energy absorption characteristics.

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Metal foams -
- Metal foams are cellular structures made from metals rather than polymers.
- They are made from aluminum or steel.

● Advantages over other materials -
- They have very good strength/weight ratio.
- They are easily processed by sawing, drilling, etc.
- They efficiently absorb energy at higher strength.
- It doesn't erode under effect of air flow / vibration.
- They provide sound absorption at lower frequencies.
- Metal foams can be joined by adhesive bonding, brazing.
- They are recyclable.

Hope this helps you...
