Abstract
Metal fiber porous materials with intrinsic properties of metal and functional properties of porous materials have received a great deal of attention in the fundamental research and industry applications. With developments of the preparation technologies and industrial requirements, porous fiber metals with excellent properties are developed and applied in many industry areas, e.g., sound absorption, heat transfer, energy absorption and lightweight structures. The applied research progress of the metal fiber porous materials in such application areas based on the recent work in our group was reviewed in this paper.
Highlights
Metal fiber porous materials has received much attention due to their unique controllable porous structure and special physical properties, such as lower density, larger specific surface area, higher mechanical strength and excellent permeability, and show good potential for applications in the industries, since they combine the properties of metal and its internal porous structure
As a new generation of the metal porous material, metal fiber porous material contains a large number of irregular pores constructed by the fiber and pore geometries
Metal fiber porous materials used for filtration are usually prepared to be about a 1–2 mm thickness felt made of stainless steel fibers and FeCrAl fibers
Summary
Metal fiber porous materials has received much attention due to their unique controllable porous structure and special physical properties, such as lower density, larger specific surface area, higher mechanical strength and excellent permeability, and show good potential for applications in the industries, since they combine the properties of metal and its internal porous structure. Metal fiber porous materials used for filtration are usually prepared to be about a 1–2 mm thickness felt made of stainless steel fibers and FeCrAl fibers They are widely used in polymers filtration, food and beverage filtration, hot gas filtration, automobile airbags, and so on. Fiber porous metals with high porosity and small pore size are features of interest due to their typical integration structure and the functional material. This kind of metal porous material attracts engineers’. The special and designable properties of the pore structure for the metal fiber porous materials provide a wide application in many industrial areas. The research progress regarding the porous metal fiber material in the application of sound absorption, enhanced phase change heat transfer, energy absorption is reviewed in this paper based on research work of authors’ group
