Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Porous Metals and Metallic Foams (MetFoam 2019)

The purpose of MetFoam conference series is to provide a state-of-the-art review on lightweight porous metals and metallic foams and a forum for discussions and networking opportunities for scientists working in this field. Topics included in this volume include the following:

•Fabrication by conventional and novel methods including additive manufacturing 

•Characterization 

•Properties of compressed and uncompressed foam 

•Design of porous metals, metallic foams, and lattice structures

•Fluid, heat, and mass transfer 

•Porous biomaterials

•Nanoporous metals

•Industrial applications of porous metals and metallic foams

Dr. Nihad Dukhan is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Detroit Mercy, USA, and a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), specializing in the science and technology of metal foam. He ha over 150 refereed publications and a book on theory and applications of metal foam.
