Metal Foam

Metal Foam is produced by mixing metal powder with a pore-forming agent, then using a binder to shape and solidify the mixture. The solidified material is subjected to high-temperature sintering to remove the pore-forming agent and binder, creating sintered necks between the metal powder particles, resulting in a porous metal with certain strength.
