Composite Metal Foam Could Redefine Hazmat Transport Safety
New Material Could Transform Hazmat Tanker Safety A recent study points to a surprising contender in the quest for safer hazmat transportation: composite metal foam (CMF). Researchers found that CMF can absorb and withstand extreme forces far beyond what its lightweight structure would suggest, even showing the capacity to punch a hole through railroad tank…

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…
