METALLIC FOAM BODY WITH CONTROLLED GRAIN SIZE ON ITS SURFACE, PROCESS FOR ITS PRODUCTION AND USE THEREOF

A process for producing a metallic foam body, having a substrate made of at least one metal or metal alloy A and a layer of a metal or metal alloy B. The metal or metal alloy A and the metal or metal alloy B are selected from a group consisting of Ni, Cr, Co, Cu, Ag, and any alloy thereof and are di...

Zusammenfassung:A process for producing a metallic foam body, having a substrate made of at least one metal or metal alloy A and a layer of a metal or metal alloy B. The metal or metal alloy A and the metal or metal alloy B are selected from a group consisting of Ni, Cr, Co, Cu, Ag, and any alloy thereof and are different. The process includes providing a porous organic polymer foam. The process also includes depositing at least one first metal or metal alloy A on the porous organic polymer foam. The process further includes burning off the porous organic polymer foam to obtain a metallic foam body substrate. The process yet further includes depositing by electroplating a metallic layer of a metal or metal alloy B at least on a part of the surface of the metallic foam body substrate.
