The Web site AZoBuild has reported on new research into manufacturing aluminum foams at reduced costs.
Aluminum foams have a porous structure that makes them excellent materials to absorb sound, impacts and vibrations. Their metallic nature allows their use as electromagnetic shields and makes them stable at high temperatures.
Aluminum foams are also recyclable and non contaminant, while offering a combination of physical, mechanical, thermal and acoustic characteristics typical of a homogeneous material. All these characteristics are ideal for diverse and important applications in different industrial sectors, from aerospace or naval to motor and construction.
