Innovation in Metalworking: Welding Metal Foam Without Melting Its Bubbles

Posted by in category: innovation

North Carolina State University researchers have discovered a new welding method for composite metal foam (CMF), preserving its light, strong, and thermally insulating properties, vital for numerous applications.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have now identified a welding technique that can be used to join composite metal foam (CMF) components together without impairing the properties that make CMF desirable. CMFs hold promise for a wide array of applications because the pockets of air they contain make them light, strong and effective at insulating against high temperatures.

Characteristics and Challenges of CMF.

The Department of Education’s most recent study, declared in June, was surely sensational: it found that text comprehension skills of 13-year-olds had denied an average of four points since the Covid-affected schools in the academic year 2019–2020, and more alarmingly that the average drop was seven points compared with the 2012 figure. The results for the worst-performing students fell below the reading skill level recorded in 1971, when the first national study was conducted.
