Nickel Foam Metal Foam in Explosion and Flame Retardant Applications
Metal foam has excellent fluid penetration and is highly fire resistant itself. It can be placed in the pipeline for transportation of flammable gas or liquid, to prevent the flame from spreading and to isolate the explosion by absorbing heat energy.
It can be widely used in gas welding and gas cutting with acetylene or oxygen flame; switching of motor and power supply in mines; refineries and combustible gas pipelines; torch systems, oil and gas recovery systems, heating furnaces, gas purification systems, etc. It can also be used in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) pipelines. In addition can also be used as liquefied gas, fuel oil and other storage tanks within the porous fire and explosion-proof filling materials.

Nickel foam is used in the field of sound-absorbing and fireproofing
Metal foam because of the gradient porous characteristics of the foam, but also has the non-combustible nature of the metal, so that it has a sound-absorbing and fireproof double function, can be widely used in indoor KTV, movie theaters, studio halls, conference rooms and other places on sound absorption and fire performance requirements are extremely high. Such as Japan will foam metal used in generator rooms, recording studios and the Shinkansen sound-absorbing and other aspects have been very good results.

Nickel foam metal used in the field of shock absorption and damping
Metal foam specific stiffness and impact energy absorption capacity is one of the important uses of foam metal. A large range of modulus of elasticity can be obtained through the selection of foam metal parameters, so that the required response frequency can be matched, and harmful unfavorable vibrations can be suppressed and eliminated. Typical applications for energy absorption are buffers and shock absorbers. The material is also used in a wide range of applications such as bumpers in automobiles, shock absorbers in elevator and transportation systems, and energy-absorbing linings in machinery.

Nickel Foam Carriers for Photocatalysts
Metal foam has a large surface area, good ductility and high thermal conductivity, etc., with good hydrodynamic properties, applied to gas and liquid catalytic reaction has very significant advantages. In the catalytic reaction, the foam nickel-based or copper-based metal can be used directly as catalyst, or the foam metal can be used as a catalyst carrier, and other catalysts can be attached to the surface layer. Composite photocatalytic foam metal cutting-edge nanocomposite technology, integration of nano-photocatalytic materials and the excellent characteristics of nickel foam, nickel foam matrix uniformly loaded with a certain amount of nano-Tio2 and obtained a loaded photocatalytic functional materials. Nickel foam can be used as an excellent photocatalyst due to its unique three-dimensional network structure. It is applied in the three-way catalysis of automobile exhaust, medical chemical reaction, and has broad application prospects in degrading organic pollutants in wastewater, removing harmful inorganic gases and air purification, etc.

Nickel foam metal materials used in the field of vehicle lightweighting
Foam alloy composite plate independently developed by the company has excellent properties such as high strength, lightweight, fire prevention, environmental protection, corrosion resistance, sound absorption and insulation, and is an important new material for realizing the lightweighting of rail transit vehicles, electric buses, ships, engineering equipment and buildings. The material can be welded, molded and painted. The products have been successfully applied in the fields of flooring, partition boards and architectural decoration of rolling stock.

Nickel foam metal application in the field of filtration and environmental protection
Metal foam pore distribution has a gradient distribution characteristics of gas, liquid fluid contained in the solid particles have the role of retention and capture, and the material can be processed and molded into tubes, cups, disks, plates, etc., is the current high-precision filtration of commonly used materials. It can be widely used in oil smoke purification, oil sand filtration, aluminum water filtration, water treatment filtration, gas filtration and so on.

Nickel foam metal is used in the field of radiation shielding
Metal foam with its unique metal properties and gradient pore distribution, through the electromagnetic wave interference attenuation and energy conversion, can realize good electromagnetic radiation shielding. The material is widely used in power stations, signal transmitting base stations, electronic forces, central control rooms and other electronic and military fields.

Nickel foam metal used in the field of thermal conductivity and heat dissipation
Metal foam pores were three-dimensional structure, through the pore rate of 95-98%, the same volume of specific surface area can be increased by 6-10 times. At the same time, because copper, aluminum, nickel, iron itself has good thermal conductivity, and can be arbitrarily welded, molding, so the foam metal in the LED, CPU, graphics cards and other electronic components in the field of thermal conductivity has a wide range of mature applications.
