Description
Titanium foam, also known as Ti foam, is a porous material made of titanium metal. It is created using a process called metal injection molding, where titanium powder is mixed with a binder material and shaped into a foam structure using heat and pressure. The binder material is then removed, leaving behind a porous titanium structure that is lightweight and has excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

Applications
Titanium foam is used in various applications such as biomedical implants, aerospace components, and acoustic insulation. Its unique properties, such as high strength, biocompatibility, and low thermal conductivity, make it an ideal material for these applications. Additionally, the porous nature of titanium foam allows for increased surface area, which can improve adhesion and bonding properties in certain applications.
