Advanced Materials

With its unique alloy foam, Alantum offers the superior solution for a wide range of applications.

The foam offers measurable competitive advantage in fuel cells, sound attenuation, in the aerospace field and other areas.

In fuel cells, metal foam from Alantum ensures a considerably improved gas distribution in the flow field resulting in a higher efficiency in generation of electrical energy.

When used in engine silencers, the material offers significantly higher noise attenuation than conventional materials in the same volume.

The foam displays a low back-pressure and is mechanically stable under dynamic pressure changes in the exhaust system, its service life is identical to that of the vehicle.

Jet engines for aeroplanes are another potential field of application. Here cellular absorbers in the hot gas duct allow significant noise reductions and increase the performance of the engine.

As a static mixer for gases and liquids the open foam structure ensures the uniform and very efficient mixing.
