Fastenkur fürs Auto: Metallschäume der BASF sind zwar so stabil wie massives Metall, wiegen aber deutlich weniger. In einem Auto oder Flugzeug eingesetzt, senken sie den Spritverbrauch und damit auch den Ausstoß von klima-schädlichem Kohlendioxid. Hergestellt werden die Metallschäume mit Hilfe eines Tricks: Drei bis fünf Millimeter große Styroporkugeln werden in einem sogenannten Sprühwirbelbett mit Carbonyl-Eisenpulver beschichtet. Vergrößerung 50 : 1 (bei 12cm Bildbreite) Abdruck honorarfrei. Copyright by BASF. A drastic diet for cars: although BASF’s metal foams are as stable as massive metal, they weigh considerably less. When used in cars or planes, they lower fuel consumption and thus emissions of climate-damaging carbon dioxide. The metal foams are manufactured with the help of a trick: three to five millimeter sized styrofoam spheres are coated with carbonyl iron powder in a fluidized bed.
