The purpose of MetFoam conference series is to provide a state-of-the-art review on lightweight porous metals and metallic foams and a forum for discussions and networking opportunities for scientists working in this field. Topics included in this volume include the following:
• Fabrication by conventional and novel methods including additive manufacturing
• Characterization
• Properties of compressed and uncompressed foam
• Design of porous metals, metallic foams, and lattice structures
• Fluid, heat, and mass transfer
• Porous biomaterials
• Nanoporous metals
• Industrial applications of porous metals and metallic foams
