METPORE™ Metal Foams have a very wide range of applications (More......) ,
the three most common of which are:
|
Thermal management
METPORE™ Metal Foams lend themselves to liquid-cooled electronics, aerospace and automotive heat-exchange devices due to their : |
- Low thermal inertia
- Low pressure drop
- High surface area to volume
- High thermal conductivity
- Flexible geometry
|
 |
|
Diesel particulate filtration
METPORE™ Metal Foams are particularly well suited to diesel particulate filtration. They exhibit : |
- High tortuous flow
- High surface area to volume
- Excellent temperature resistance
- Quick light-off
- Ease of coating
|
 |
|
Burner/Combustion Technologies
METPORE™ Metal Foams are used in red/blue flame burner plates, gas heaters, , space heaters and commercial ovens for which they offer:
|
- Flexible geometry, porosity
- Excellent mechanical strength, no friability
- Precise porosity allowing even gas flow
- Excellent thermal shock, built-in flame arrestor properties
