Porous and Foamed Amorphous Metals

Porous and Foamed Amorphous Metals Alan

This article reviews the state of the art in the field of porous amorphous metals by describing current processing techniques, mechanical properties, and potential applications. In addition to the reduction in density, the main benefit of introducing porosity in amorphous metals is the improvement in compressive ductility and energy absorption. This ductilizing effect is explained by: (1) shear...

Porous Metals and Metallic Foams: Current Status and Recent Developments

Cellular metals and metallic foams are metals with pores deliberately integrated in their structure. The terms cellular metals or porous metals are general expressions referring to metals having large volume of porosities, while the terms foamed metal or metallic foams applies to porous metals produced with processes where foaming take place. Besides, the term metal sponge refers to highly poro...

Study of Displacement Efficiency and Flow Behavior of Foamed Gel in Non-Homogeneous Porous Media

Field trials have demonstrated that foamed gel is a very cost-effective technology for profile modification and water shut-off. However, the mechanisms of profile modification and flow behavior of foamed gel in non-homogeneous porous media are not yet well understood. In order to investigate these mechanisms and the interactions between foamed gel and oil in porous media, coreflooding and pore-...

Nanoporous Ag-CNTs foamed electrode for lithium intercalation

Intercalation of lithium into Ag-CNTs sample is reported here. We have used a nano-porous silver foam as a frame for deposition of the CNTs   inside   the   pores   by   electrophoresis   deposition   (EPD) technique. By using  chronopotentiometry method,  we  have noticed that the Li storage capacity of the prepared Ag-CNTs electrode was improved  noticeably  in  comparison  with  literature. ...
