Metal foams provide an attractive solution to the Fuel Cell industries for lighter and less expensive systems. With low density, high surface area and mechanical strength, these materials have applications as heat exchangers, catalyst substrates, and diffusion plates.

On the HANNOVER FAIR 2002 Porvair Fuel Cell Technology presents porous metals, ceramics and hi-polar plates provide powerful possibilities for the Fuel Cell industry.
