Method for joining a metal foam to a metal part

摘要

A method for joining a metal foam to a metal part comprises the following steps: providing a metal part (14); providing an open cell metal foam (10); applying the metal foam (10) onto a surface (12) of the metal part (14); depositing e.g. by thermal decomposition of nickel carbonyl a metal onto the metal foam (10) and the surface (12) of the metal part (14) through the metal foam (10) in a quantity sufficient to join the metal foam to the metal part. <IMAGE>
