Isinyithi esinegwebu ziquka i-aluminiyam, i-nickel kunye ne-alloys yazo. Ukongeza, i-copper foamed nayo inendawo ethile yophuhliso.
I-aluminiyam i-foam kunye ne-alloys yayo ilula ngobunzima kwaye ineempawu zokufunxa isandi, ukugqunywa kobushushu, ukunyibilika kwe-vibration, ukufunxwa kwamandla othusayo kunye nokufunxwa kwamaza e-electromagnetic, njl. iibuffers, izixhobo zokudambisa i-electro-mechanical vibration, pulse Amandla ombane we-electromagnetic wave shield, njl.

I-nickel foam ine-air permeability ephezulu, indawo ephezulu ephezulu kunye ne-capillary force ngenxa yesakhiwo sayo se-pore esidibeneyo kunye ne-porosity ephezulu. Isetyenziswa kakhulu njengesixhobo esisebenzayo sokwenza izihluzi zamanzi, ii-atomizers, i-catalysts, iipleyiti ze-electrode zebhetri kunye nokutshintsha ubushushu njl.njl.

I-Copper foamed ine-conductivity enhle kunye ne-ductility, kwaye iindleko zayo zokulungiselela ziphantsi kune-foam ye-nickel, kwaye umbane wayo ungcono. Ingasetyenziselwa ukulungisa i-electrode engalunganga yebhetri (i-carrier), abathwali be-catalyst kunye nezixhobo zokukhusela i-electromagnetic. Ngokukodwa, ukusetyenziswa kobhedu olunogwebu njengesiseko se-electrode yebhetri kuneengenelo ezithile ezicacileyo, kodwa ukuxhathisa ukubola kobhedu akulunganga njengaleyo ye-nickel, ethintela ezinye zezicelo zayo.
