Lightweight composite metal foam (CMF) is composed of hollow metal spheres filled with air embedded in a metallic matrix. CMF is a novel metallic material in which still air inside its hollow spheres prevents thermal transmission and acts like a heavy-duty Styrofoam. In the meantime, the airtight hollow spheres act like a heavy-duty bubble wrap and protect against impact. A combination of the two properties can offer a single-layer lightweight alternative for the protection of tank cars carrying hazardous materials (HAZMAT) against puncture, extreme heat and fire resulting from a potential derailment. CMF is a single-layer lightweight material offering protection against multiple threats. View this paper
