Iron Foam

Iron Foam

Iron foam is an isotropic highly porous metallic material, typically 60-98% of the volume consisting of void spaces. And it has the characteristics of light weight, good flexibility, large porosity, and good stability making it an ideal material in waste-water treatment, catalysis, water splitting, and battery research.

Note: The other sizes can be manufactured in accordance with the clients' request.

Special Properties

  • Sound absorption—porous structure has a wide frequency absorption characteristic.
  • Sound insulation—high sound absorption plate can be made by drilling closed cell iron foam plate.
  • Electronic wave shielding—about 90dB electronic wave shielding.
  • Fire resistance—difficult to burn under high temperature, and with good weather resistance.
  • With good air permeability and filtration function.
  • With high temperature resistance (above 1100℃), and uniform pore structure.

Applications

Due to its characteristics of three-dimensional skeleton, excellent mechanical properties, heat and chemical resistance and excellent electrical performance, iron foam can be used in various applications. Typical applications are as follows:

  • Floor damping material
  • Filter material
  • Decorative material
  • High-grade packing material
  • Structural material
  • Battery electrode material
