Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAMCharacteristics
Open-cell metal foams, various porosities
- Coating a polyurethane foam with a metal powder-binder suspension
- Production of the metal foam by debinding (chemical/thermal) and sintering
- Flexible material selection - almost all metals or alloys available as powder can be processed
- Adjustable cell width and porosity
- Process suitable for series production
