Metal Foam Technology

ERG is capable of foaming a variety of metals to produce Duocel® open cell metal foams. Aluminum foam is our most popular metal foam, followed by copper foam. Duocel can also be made in a range of other metals including tin foam, zinc foam, nickel foam, silicon foam, Inconel foam, silver foam, and gold foam. Advanced combinations can be achieved through secondary coating processes, a detailed explanation of which can be found in the foam properties page.

Carbon Foam Technology

ERG’s Duocel carbon foam known as RVC (Reticulated Vitreous Carbon) is made from a non-crystalline vitreous or glassy form of carbon and can be utilized by our engineers and machinists to suite your specific RVC application.
