This nickel foam material exhibits acid and alkali resistance, making it suitable for corrosive environments. It can withstand operating temperatures up to 1100°C without degradation.

  • Chemical Resistance: The foam is resistant to both acidic and alkaline media, preventing corrosion in harsh chemical environments.
  • Thermal Stability: The material maintains structural integrity at operating temperatures up to 1100°C, with a typical operating temperature above 500°C.
  • Mechanical Workability: The foam can be cut, bent, and bonded using simple adhesive methods without specialized tools.

What is the trade-off between PPI and filtration efficiency for this nickel foam when used in solid-liquid separation of lubricating oil?

This nickel foam is available in a PPI range of 5–130, with pore sizes from 0.1 mm to 10 mm and porosity of 60–98%. Higher PPI (smaller pores) increases filtration efficiency but reduces flow rate, while lower PPI favors throughput. The sub-high efficiency type with ≥98% through-hole rate is designed to balance these factors for lubricating oil solid-liquid separation, and the product sheet lists specific dimensions of 150×200×5 mm for this application.

Can this nickel foam be used as a catalyst carrier in high-temperature exhaust gas purification systems?

Yes, it is suitable for exhaust gas purifier carriers and catalyst carrier applications. The manufacturer specifies an operating temperature ≥500°C with the ability to withstand 1100°C+, and the material is acid- and alkali-resistant. The high porosity (60–98%) and ≥98% through-hole rate provide a large specific surface area, making it effective for catalytic reactions in high-temperature environments.

What are the mechanical strength and handling requirements for cutting and shaping this nickel foam?

The nickel foam has a tensile strength of 8–50 MPa, compressive strength ≥250 KPa, and mechanical strength of 2–7 MPa. It is lightweight (specific gravity 0.2–0.3) and can be cut, bent, and simply pasted without special tooling. The 0.5 m width and customizable dimensions allow for easy integration into existing filtration or thermal management assemblies.

This knitted nickel foam provides a ≥98% through-hole rate with 60–98% porosity, enabling efficient solid-liquid separation of lubricating oil, while its acid/alkali resistance and thermal stability up to 1100°C support harsh chemical and high-temperature applications. However, its modest tensile (8–50 MPa) and compressive (≥250 KPa) strengths limit structural use, and the standard 150×200×5mm sheet may require customization for non-standard integration.

Positive

  • High porosity and open rate: With 60–98% porosity and ≥98% through-hole rate, the foam provides efficient solid-liquid separation for lubricating oil and other fluids, ensuring stable gas-liquid flow.
  • Acid-alkali and thermal resistance: Acid and alkali tolerant with an operating temperature of ≥500°C (withstands 1100°C+), the material suits aggressive chemical environments and high-temperature filtration or catalytic processes.

Trade-offs

  • Limited mechanical strength: Tensile strength of only 8–50 MPa and compressive strength ≥250 KPa restrict the foam to non-load-bearing applications, requiring support structures in stressed assemblies.
  • Standard size may not fit all systems: Supplied as 150×200×5mm sheets; although customization is available, the default dimensions may not match existing equipment without additional cutting or fitting.
