More About Aluminum Foam
Description: Aluminum Foam materials containing foamed pores exhibit higher porosity and larger pore sizes, up to 7 mm, compared to conventionally sintered porous metals. As a two-phase composite consisting of a metal matrix skeleton and dispersed pores, the properties of metal foam are contingent upon factors such as the metal matrix utilized, porosity, pore structure, and preparation process. Generally, as porosity increases, mechanical properties decline, while electrical and thermal conductivity decrease exponentially. Under pressure, foamed metals demonstrate remarkable impact energy absorption due to increased force area resulting from pore collapse and material strain-hardening. Foamed aluminum and its alloys offer lightweight characteristics along with sound absorption, heat insulation, vibration damping, shock absorption, and electromagnetic wave attenuation. These attributes render them suitable for applications ranging from missile and aircraft impact protection to automobile buffers, electromechanical vibration damping devices, and pulse mitigation.Applications: Aluminum Foam is versatile and can be used for sound reverberation in concert halls, studios, and other public spaces. It’s also great for muffling noise in clean workshops, labs, and other sensitive areas. Additionally, it can be used as a sound barrier in highways, railways, and other noisy environments. Finally, it’s great for sound absorption and insulation in various types of equipment.Specifications of Aluminum Foam:

More About Aluminum Honeycomb Shield

Description: Aluminum honeycomb is a lightweight material used mainly as a core for sandwich structures that carry shear loads. The honeycomb structure divides the air layer between the composite panels into numerous cells, which restricts the movement of air and prevents the propagation of heat and sound waves. As a result, honeycomb boards are great for insulation and soundproofing. When used in bonded composite sandwich panels, the material’s high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance make it ideal for doors, floors, furniture, galley and sanitary modules, interior panel partitions, and energy absorbers.

Applications: Aluminum Honeycombs are versatile materials widely used in various applications such as building curtain wall exterior wall cladding, interior decoration projects, billboards, shipbuilding, aviation manufacturing, indoor partitions, commodity display stands, commercial transport vehicles, container trucks, buses, trains, subways, and rail vehicles. These panels offer a lightweight yet durable solution for architectural and transportation industries, providing aesthetic appeal, structural integrity, and functional versatility across a range of construction and design projects.
