The neweasyFoam-Process and Mechanical Properties of Foam-Coating-Sandwiches

Coated aluminium foams were heat treated. The influence on the mechanical properties was investigated. In order to produce cost-efficient foam sandwiches, the foaming and coating processes were modified and the new easyFoam-process was developed. It consists of coating foamable semi-finished parts before inductive foaming. This process allows a fast and continuous production of long foam sandwiches. No expensive moulds are needed.
