Springer MetFoam 2019 Proceedings - Porous Metals & Metallic Foams

The 11th International Conference on Porous Metals and Metallic Foams (MetFoam 2019) proceedings bring together cutting-edge research on lightweight porous materials and their applications across multiple industries. This comprehensive volume from Springer covers fabrication techniques including conventional methods and additive manufacturing, detailed characterisation protocols, and mechanical properties of both compressed and uncompressed foam structures. The collection explores design principles for porous metals, metallic foams, and lattice structures, alongside critical topics in fluid, heat, and mass transfer analysis. Additional focus areas include porous biomaterials suitable for medical applications, nanoporous metals for advanced technologies, and real-world industrial applications. This proceedings volume serves as an essential reference for materials scientists, engineers, and researchers investigating lightweight structural materials, biomaterial innovations, and next-generation manufacturing techniques in the metallic foams field.
