Aluminium is a chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than those of other common metals; about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air. Aluminium visually resembles silver, both in its color and in its great ability to reflect light. It is soft, nonmagnetic and ductile. It has one stable isotope: 27Al, which is highly abundant, making aluminium the twelfth-most common element in the universe. The radioactivity of 26Al is used in radiometric dating.
ATT specializes in producing aluminum as low density permeable material. Most metal foams are produced from cast ingots for use in coating and thin film chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes including thermal and electron beam (E-Beam) evaporation, low temperature organic evaporation, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for specific applications such as fuel cells and solar energy. Thickness can range from 0.003" to approximately 2mm for all metals. Some metals can also be rolled down as thin as 0.001" for use as an evaporation source in microelectronics, optics, magnetics, MEMS, and hard resistant coatings. Piece sizes are available up to approximately 7" maximum width. Maximum lengths of about 20" can be obtained with a nominal thickness between about 0.005" and 0.020" for thin film deposition on glass or metal substrates. Materials are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra high purification processes such as sublimation.

Aluminum foam is a rigid three-dimensional network of interconnected aluminum ligaments forming cells with open pores. Aluminum foam contains completely solid ligaments (as opposed to hollow ligaments) with fully customizable properties, which allows its performance characteristics to be optimized for a wide range of applications.
Aluminum is the most popular foam and is typically used in applications that benefit from lightweight construction, extremely high surface area, and a rigid honeycomb structure that mimics natural forms.
Aluminum foam, also known as foamed aluminum, is used in a wide range of applications and industries. Below are just a few of the many examples and the benefits of each.
Mechanical applications (e.g., structural components, impact/energy absorbers)
High strength-to-weight ratio
Customizable strength
Isotropic compression
Thermal applications (e.g. heat exchangers)
High surface area per unit volume
Generate turbulence in flowing fluids to minimize boundary layers and promote mixing for enhanced thermal performance
Customized conformal shape/geometry to optimize size and weight
Filtration and media separation (e.g. air-oil separators, flame arrestors, baffles)
Curved paths for media/debris passage
Synonyms

Automobiles: Automobiles are becoming lighter and lighter. Another requirement is to improve the passive safety of automobiles, which depends largely on material selection and vehicle design. The importance of material recycling cannot be overemphasized. Aluminum foam supports for passenger cars have significant energy and sound absorption properties. The first application is crash absorbers for side and frontal impacts. To protect the rigid passenger compartment, the foam core panel in the impact area must absorb the impact energy.
It is used to reinforce the underbody protection of the vehicle. It fills components such as fenders and side beams, pillars next to doors, and other parts that tend to sag or pull tight or must absorb large amounts of energy. The use of these components allows for controlled, anticipated deformation of the vehicle's impact area for maximum energy absorption. This is particularly effective for newer, smaller city cars, where space constraints make it difficult to build such energy absorbers.
Aerospace: They are vital in the aerospace industry due to their light weight. Instead of expensive honeycomb structures, foam panels could be used. This would have several advantages including cheaper cost. Another significant advantage is the isotropic nature of the properties of such panels and the fact that no adhesive bonding is required. The latter can help to keep the building up and running in the event of an accidental fire.
Due to its exciting surface, it has great potential for designers. It is suitable for lamps, tables, household products and accessories. When combined with wood, the surface of foam aluminum panels can create unusual effects in the environment. Since foam furniture is lightweight, it may be beneficial for organizations or during exhibitions and fairs. Due to its strong fire resistance and insulating material qualities, foam aluminum roof panels are well suited for building and construction applications. Foam-filled panels can be used as exterior building elements or interior wall coverings. Due to its excellent insulating properties, foam can be an energy-efficient component in both cases. Sound-absorbing metal foam aluminum panels can be used under railroad tunnels and highway bridges.
