Defined.
Alantum metal foam is a 100 % open-porous cellular structure. It unites definition on every level: From micro to macro
Micro - material level
Alantum’s patented plating and powder-metallurgical processes guarantee the highest purity of precious metal foams and the homogenous composition of alloy foams. The tunable material properties of Alantum foams are key for their functionality in various applications, as well as their mechanical, thermal, and chemical resilience.
Meso - structural level
Chemical catalysis, electrocatalysis, emission control, conductive materials, filters, mixers, or burner substrates – Alantum foams can be tailored to any application. The high geometric surface area of Alantum alloy foam, combined with its characteristic surface roughness, makes it an ideal substrate for durable, functional catalyst washcoats.
Macro - product scale
Alantum metal foam is produced in sheets of various thicknesses. It can be compressed, joined, cut, stamped, welded, seamed, sealed, filled, and drilled to create almost any 3D shape. We design, engineer and manufacture a wide range of products – from metal foam-micropellets to components made of super-alloy structured composites.
Metals
Base Metals, Precious Metals, Super Alloys. Nickel, Iron, Copper and Silver foams are of special interest for electro- and chemical catalysis. Ag and Cu offer the highest thermal and electrical conductivities.Super alloys foams are known for their tremendous material strengths – used as catalysts carriers, flow fields, and as high-temperature fuel-saving burner media.

Cell Size
Structure controls Performance. Alantum’s standalone material characteristic is a 100% open porosity. This ensures predictable, reproducible, and controllable results in operation. What’s more, your selection of the right cell size provides full control over pressure drop, mechanical stability, filtration effectiveness, and catalyst activity by means of surface area.
Shape
Tailor-made solutions for your application. From ready-to-use drop in solutions to all-new design concepts. Our portfolio encompasses foam-pellets on millimeter scale to reactor-sized composites. Our engineering team helps you to identify the right material, pick the appropriate cell size, design the best shape, and ensure full manufacturability. Ultimately, our goal is to create the maximum value for our customers.
