CONT

The most promising of the metal foams is aluminum foam, given its low density (0.3 g/cc) and melting point (660ºC). These properties facilitate processing and the choice of foaming agents, with the temperature of decomposition in the range of 500-700ºC.

CONT

La plus prometteuse des mousses métalliques est celle d'aluminium, qui se caractérise par une masse volumique (0,3 g/cm 3) et un point de fusion (660 ºC) peu élevés. Des propriétés de ce genre facilitent le traitement du matériau et le choix des agents moussants, la température de décomposition se situant dans une plage de 500 à 700 ºC.
