Metallschaumproduktion
Metallschaumproduktion refers to the manufacturing processes used to create metallic foams. These materials are characterized by a high porosity, consisting of a solid metal matrix with a significant volume fraction of gas-filled pores. The production methods aim to introduce and stabilize these pores within the molten or solid metal.
One common method is the blowing agent technique. This involves adding a blowing agent, typically a metal
Another approach is casting with a pre-formed foam structure. In this method, a sacrificial material, such as
Powder metallurgy techniques are also employed. Metal powders are mixed with a pore-forming agent, such as polymer
Electrochemical deposition can also be used to produce metallic foams, particularly for thin-film or coating applications,
