Nickel Copper Foam (Ni/Cu Foam) Description
Nickel Copper Foam is low density permeable material with numerous applications. The defining characteristic of these foams is a very high porosity, typically 75-95% of the volume consisting of void spaces. It is widely used for heat conduction and heat dissipation of motors, electrical appliances, and electronic components. It never rusts. It is also an excellent medical filter material and water purification filter material due to its structural characteristics and its non-harmful properties to the human body.

Nickel Copper Foam (Ni/Cu Foam) FAQs
Q1. What is Nickel Copper Foam?
Nickel Copper Foam is a porous metallic structure composed of nickel and copper, where the two metals are combined to form a lightweight material with a high surface area, good conductivity, and excellent corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in applications requiring high porosity and mechanical stability.
Q2. How is Nickel Copper Foam manufactured?
Nickel Copper Foam is typically manufactured using processes such as electroplating, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or the powder metallurgy method. A polymer foam substrate is usually coated with nickel and copper, followed by heat treatment to remove the polymer and leave behind the metallic foam structure.
Q3. What is the porosity of Nickel Copper Foam, and why is it important?
The porosity of Nickel Copper Foam typically ranges between 75% and 95%. High porosity is important because it allows the foam to have a large surface area, making it suitable for applications such as catalysis, filtration, and energy storage, where interactions at the material's surface are critical.
