Plate aluminum

powderfor the aerospace industry

Foam aluminium is an aluminium alloy material which has porous structure filled with a gas. KUMZ produces closed-cell foam aluminium which is primarily used as an impact-absorbing material. Foam aluminium is light and stiff and can serve as a lightweight structural material. In contrast to other lightweight materials like wood, woodchip board, plastic foam aluminium is fire and water resistant, nonhygroscopic, capable for recycling. Main production steps aluminium powder spraying mixing with foaming agent (TiH2) press briquetting pressing of flat bar cold-rolling foaming in furnace Today’s KUMZ production capability Foam aluminium plates designated by mark KFA (KUMZ foam aluminium) Fields of application Automobile industry (energy and sound absorption, crashboxes) Building and interior design (facing, noise-eliminating) Aerospace, Shipbuilding, Railroad Transport (baffles, floors, beams, paneling, housing)
