Nickel Foam

Nickel Foam Manufacturer India

Nickel Foam manufacturer, supplier and exporter in India

Ambani Metals is a reliable nickel foam manufacturer and exporter from India, supplying quality material for various industrial applications.

Nickel foam is a lightweight, low-density metal material with a highly porous and open-cell structure. Typically, 75–95% of its volume consists of interconnected pores, which gives it excellent permeability and a very large surface area. Because of this structure, nickel foam is widely used in applications where a high surface-to-volume ratio is important, such as filtration, energy storage, and heat transfer.

Nickel foam is designed with a structure similar to reticulated polymer foam, combining light weight with good mechanical strength. It also offers properties like corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and efficient heat dissipation. Due to its uniform structure and durability, nickel foam is suitable for both functional and structural applications, especially where energy absorption and flow performance are critical.

Types of Nickel Foam (Ni Foam)

Nickel foam is mainly available in two types:

  • Open cell nickel foam – features interconnected pores, making it ideal for applications like filtration, energy storage, and heat transfer.
  • Closed cell nickel foam – has sealed pores, offering better strength and suitability for structural applications.
