Open porous ceramic foams are widely used in metal casting as filters. The foams are well suited for high temperature applications, which require managing high flow rates as well as mixing of fluids. The ceramic material and porosity of the foam can be adapted to suite individual requirements.
The demand for high performance filters has led to the development of 3d printed foam designs. These can withstand higher loads leading to less contaminations of cast products.
The high porosity and chemical resistance of ceramic foams makes them the ideal substrates for catalytic processes. With a wide variety of materials and possible coatings the catalytic converter can be adapted to match its application. Either as a monolithic converter or in bulk in a reactor.
The full potential of ceramic foams has not yet been explored since more and more applications require their unique characteristics.
