Metallic Foams In article number 2301430, Afsaneh Rabiei, John Cance, and Zubin Chacko present a composite metal foam (CMF) as the first porous metal successfully welded using an induction method. The process is possible due to the presence of the metallic matrix between CMF porosities, allowing the penetration of eddy currents, plus the low thermal conductivity of CMF, concentrating the heat at the joint leaving the rest of the CMF cool to the touch.
