Foam Aluminum (FA), as a new type of material that combines lightweighting, porous structure, and multi-functional properties, shows broad prospects in the field of modern green building, especially in the application of high-performance Curtain Walls. Foam Aluminum is one of the key technologies for achieving modern green and ultra-low energy [...]

1. Lightweight and High Strength The density of foam ceramic lightweight partition panels typically ranges from 300 kg/m³ to 600 kg/m³, which is significantly lower than the density of traditional solid clay bricks (approximately 1800kg/m³-2000kg/m³). This notable weight reduction not only makes the material easier to handle during transportation and [...]

The application of aluminum foam in the fields of impact energy absorption and crash safety is its most significant value proposition. As a lightweight, highly efficient energy-absorbing material, it can dramatically improve vehicle safety performance during collisions. The unique advantage of aluminum foam lies in its porous structure, which results [...]

Foam ceramics, known for their high porosity, lightweight, and excellent thermal and acoustic properties, are increasingly used in specific parts of steel structures for fire and sound insulation. Here's a breakdown of their applications in two key areas: stairwell fire protection and equipment room sound insulation. 1. Application of Foam [...]

In traditional engineering materials, pores (whether macroscopic or microscopic) are considered structural defects because they often serve as core sites for crack formation and propagation, which negatively impacts a material's physical and mechanical properties. However, when the number of pores in a material (i.e., its porosity) increases to a certain [...]

As an excellent Class A fireproof material, foam ceramic plays a crucial role in building fire barriers. Its primary function is to effectively prevent the spread of fire during a fire, especially to stop molten droplets from combustible, non-Class A insulation materials like EPS from spreading downward. This provides valuable [...]

The filtration mechanism of foam ceramics is generally described as a combination of diffusion interception, inertial impaction interception, or screening, deposition, and deep bed filtration. A national key laboratory at Tsinghua University has established 3D physical models and two-phase flow models for the filtration mechanism of foam ceramics and performed [...]

Foam ceramics are the third generation of porous ceramic products, developed after ordinary porous ceramics and honeycomb porous ceramics. They feature a foam-like porous shape with three-dimensional interconnected channels. Their shape, pore size, specific surface area, permeability, and chemical properties can be adjusted through various processes, making the products resemble [...]

Imagine a material that could make your electronics run cooler, last longer, and perform better. That material is copper foam, and it's poised to transform the world of electronic devices. You already know copper for its incredible electrical conductivity. But copper foam takes this essential metal to a whole new [...]

At Beihai Composite, we’ve pioneered a scalable manufacturing process that [...]

Titanium foam has become a research hotspot in metallic foam materials in recent years. Current studies on titanium foam mainly focus on biomedical and aerospace fields. With further research, titanium foam has been found to exhibit excellent properties such as low density, high strength, strong corrosion resistance, excellent energy absorption, [...]

The filtration micron level of copper foam varies according to its pore size and production process, and can generally filter particles from a few microns to tens of microns. Copper foam, a metal material with a porous structure, has a wide range of applications in the filtration field. Its unique [...]
