Titanium foam

Titanium foams exhibit high specific strength, high energy absorption, excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. These materials are ideally suited for applications within the aerospace industry.[1][2][3] An inherent resistance to corrosion allows the foam to be a desirable candidate for various filtering applications.[4][5] Further, titanium's physiological inertness makes its porous form a promising candidate for biomedical implantation devices.[6][7][8][9][10][11] The largest advantage in fabricating titanium foams is that the mechanical and functional properties can be adjusted through manufacturing manipulations that vary porosity and cell morphology. The high appeal of titanium foams is directly correlated to a multi-industry demand for advancement in this technology.
