Filters mainly separate solids from liquids or solids and liquids from gases. For example, purify molten polymers to remove soot and water vapor from the air.The filter should have good filter property, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.The perforated metal foam is an ideal material for filter preparation.
2 Heat exchanger:
High thermal conductivity metal foam can be used as a heat exchange material. This requires the use of perforated metal foam, such as that produced by casting, to heat or cool the gas or liquid that passes through the metal foam, for example, by using it to cool heated electronics or chips.
3 Catalyst support :
Efficient catalysts require a large area of contact when reacting with gases and liquids, so they can be injected into porous metal foam materials.Because of its large surface area and good plasticity and heat conductivity, porous metal foam can be used as a catalyst carrier.At the same time, the catalyst has good mechanical integrity in metal foam.It also has good plasticity and heat conduction, so it can be used as catalyst carrier.At the same time, the catalyst has a good mechanical integrity in metal foam .For example, even after several cycles of cooling and rising, the catalyst was essentially free of loss.As a functional material, metal foam can also be used to prepare electrodes, sprayers, mufflers, self-lubricating bearings and other products.Its application prospect is very broad.
