Aluminum foam

Product Information

Aluminum foam is a rigid, three-dimensional network of interconnected aluminum ligaments that form cells with open pores.  Aluminum Foam contains completely solid ligaments (as opposed to hollow ligaments) and its properties are fully customizable, which allows its performance characteristics to be optimized for a broad range of applications.

Aluminum is most popular foam and is commonly used in applications that benefit from a lightweight structure, very high surface area, and from the nature-mimicking morphology of the rigid cellular structure.

Advantages

Aluminum foam, also known as foamed aluminum, is used in a wide array of applications and industries. 

Mechanical Applications (e.g., structural components, impact/energy absorbers)

• High       strength-to-weight

• Customizable       strength

• Isotropic       compression

• Thermal      Applications (e.g., heat exchangers)

• High       surface area per unit volume

• Creates       turbulence in flowing fluids which minimizes boundary layers and promotes       mixing to enhance thermal performance

• Custom       conformal shapes/geometries to optimize size and weight

• Filtration      and Media Separation (e.g., air-oil separators, flame arrestors, baffles)

• Tortuous       path for media/debris to pass through

APPLICATION

Aluminum foam is used in concert halls, theaters, recording studios, studios, dance halls, gymnasiums, subway stations, waiting rooms, waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, large shopping malls, exhibition halls, office halls, newspaper rooms, computer rooms, etc. Aluminum foam has the effect of sound reverberation in these positions.

For pipe muffler, muffling elbow, static pressure box, especially suitable for clean workshop, food production workshop, pharmaceutical factory, precision instrument manufacturing workshop, laboratory, ward, operating rooms, restaurant canteen, ship cabins, auxiliary engine room, cabin and other places The air conditioning and ventilation equipment play the role of noise reduction and noise reduction.

In the city light rail, elevated roads, traffic trunks, highways, railways, overpasses, cooling towers, open-air high-voltage substations, concrete mixing plants, and other places play the role of sound insulation sound barrier.

In diesel engines, generators, motors, internal combustion engines, freezers, air compressors, airplanes, trains, automobiles, ships, boilers, forging hammer equipment, fans, and other equipment, sound absorption, sound insulation, and noise reduction can be performed.
