Nickel Copper Foam

Based on nickel-copper alloy, nickel copper foam as an engineering material has gained enormous applications in many fields. The foams are characterized by good mechanical and thermal properties, light weight, and high energy absorption. It also has the good formability characteristics of been made into complex shapes easily. These properties are functions of the base materials, distribution of particles and density.

Basic Parameters

Special Properties

• Sound absorption—As its porous structure, nickel copper foam has the characteristics of sound absorption and insulation.
• Excellent electrical conductivity—For copper is one of the standard materials for electrical applications.
• Excellent thermal conductivity—As copper is a material that conducts heat exceptionally well, nickel copper foam has excellent thermal conductivity as well, and it is widely used as heat conduction and heat dissipation material.
• Network Structure—With uniform 3D network structure, fluid flow and performance are stable.

Applications

The application of nickel copper foams can be classified into structural and functional. The structural application utilizes the low density, porous structure, and the mechanical properties of the foams. Furthermore, functional applications make use of good thermal properties for heat dissipation, electrical conductivity, and others. Typical applications include:

• Electrode Material

Excellent electrical conductivity, high chemical resistance and good heat resistance of nickel copper foam make it widely used as electrode frame materials for new batteries such as lithium-ion battery, fuel cell, nickel zinc battery.

• Thermally Conductive Material

As its excellent thermal conductivity, nickel copper foam can be used in many advanced fire-fighting equipment abroad, especially as a flame isolation device. In addition, nickel copper foam finds its application in heat dissipation materials for motors and electrical appliances.

• Chemical Engineering

Nickel copper foam can be used as catalyst and its support material, filter medium, distillation tower packing, condenser heat exchange material, and so on.
