Composite Metal Foam: A Safer, Lighter Future for Hazmat Tankers
Introduction: A Breakthrough in Hazmat Transportation Safety Safety is the top concern in transporting hazardous materials by rail. Recent research into composite metal foam (CMF) reveals a remarkable capacity to absorb energy and resist perforation under extreme forces. In practical terms, CMF can withstand tremendous impact—even enough to punch a hole in a traditional steel…

Composite Metal Foam: A Safer Path for Hazmat Tankers
Reimagining Hazmat Transport Safety Transporting hazardous materials by rail and road is an essential yet inherently risky task. Recent research shines a light on composite metal foam (CMF) as a potential game-changer for hazmat transportation. CMF is a lightweight material that blends solid metal with a porous foam structure, creating a matrix that can absorb…
