The performance of novel steel composite metal foam (CMF) in a torch fire environment of 1200C is compared with that of the currently used solid steel of the same thickness as described in article number 2300217 by Afsaneh Rabiei and Nigel Amoafo-Yeboah. While solid steel is three times heavier, its temperature exceeds 730C in 30 minutes exposure but the steel CMF barely reaches 400C, providing a safer way for transportation of HAZMAT.
