SS1973 Stainless Steel 316 Foam (SS316 Foam)

Stainless Steel 316 Foam Description

The metal material containing the foamed pores has a higher porosity and a larger pore size of up to 10 mm than the generally sintered porous metal. Since the metal foam is a two-phase composite composed of a continuous phase of a metal matrix skeleton and a dispersed phase of a pore or a continuous phase, its properties depend on the metal matrix used, the porosity and the pore structure, and are affected by the preparation process.

Generally, the mechanical properties of foamed metal decrease with increasing porosity, and the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity decrease exponentially. When the metal foam is subjected to pressure, the foamed metal has excellent impact energy absorption characteristics due to an increase in the area of the force caused by the collapse of the pores and the strain hardening effect of the material.

Foamed stainless steel 316 are light in weight, with sound absorption, heat insulation, vibration damping, and shock absorption.
