Welcome to ERG Materials and Aerospace

Since 1967 ERG, the leading manufacturer of open celled metal foam, carbon foam, and ceramic foam materials, has manufactured cutting edge components for the aerospace, national defense, semiconductor manufacturing, biotech and other high technology industries. ERG Materials and Aerospace Corporation is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of Duocel® foam material components, systems, and technologies.

A Variety of Duocel® Foam Products

ERG has the capability of manufacturing a variety of metal foam materials (including aluminum foam, copper foam, tin foam, zinc foam, nickel foam, Inconel foam, silicon foam, silver foam, and even gold foam), ceramic foams (including silicon carbide foam, silicon nitride foam, silicon nitride carbide foam, boron carbide foam, boron nitride foam, hafnium carbide foam, tantalum carbide foam, and zirconium carbide foam), and pure glassy carbon foam (RVC). But ERG does not only manufacture Duocel foam materials. Rather, ERG manufactures custom foam metal, carbon, and ceramic components. Our proprietary Duocel open cell foam materials allow us to design and manufacture components that meet engineering challenges not possible with conventional materials. Metal foam heat exchangers, impact absorbers, gas flow diffusers, and even lightweight optical components are just a small sample of the variety of custom products in which Duocel foams provide significant performance advantages. ERG also produces a variety of standard products such as semiconductor diffuser discs, which are OEM components of several semiconductor processing machines made by Branson, LAM Research, Applied Materials, and others.
