Frequently Asked Questions for International Procurement
Critical procurement considerations regarding quality inspection, specifications, and international trade protocols.
We supply porous metal foams ranging from 5 PPI to 130 PPI with thicknesses from 0.3 mm up to 50 mm. Sheet widths can be produced up to 1000 mm, and continuous coils can be supplied up to several hundred meters depending on the thickness and base metal selected.
Our production facilities utilize automated continuous electroplating, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and precision sintering. Every manufacturing lot undergoes optical micro-imaging for pore diameter verification, bulk density testing, and spectroscopic composition assay to ensure 100% compliance with ASTM and ISO standards.
Metal foam is highly delicate and susceptible to compression deformation. We vacuum-seal sheets and rolls within moisture-barrier antistatic polyethylene film, support continuous rolls on rigid reinforced cores, and cushion every batch inside robust multi-layer corrugated boxes and fumigated ISPM-15 export wooden crates.
Yes. Our in-house engineering service includes CNC precision die-cutting, laser cutting, slitting, and metallurgical bonding to support customers requiring ready-to-install battery electrodes, filter cartridges, or brazed thermal sink assemblies.
