Foam panels are glued to the aluminium plate to obtain a resistant composite sandwich locally (in the sheet thickness) and rigid along the length depending on the foam's thicknessThe advantage of metal foams is that the reaction is constant, regardless of the direction of the force.

A cross section of metal foam reveals something that resembles a steel sponge, with its gleaming surface dotted with a myriad of hollow spheresIts that unique structureand its composite of metal foam mixed with stainless steelthat makes steel CMF shineIt works like heavy duty bubble wrap, Rabiei explained to Army Times

The leading edges of aircraft wings have to meet a very demanding set of characteristicsNew research shows that a combination of steel composite metal foam (CMF) and epoxy resin has more desirable characteristics for use as a leading edge material than the aluminum currently in widespread use.

Abstract The goal of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Composite Metal Foam (CMF) armors against caliber ballistic threatsA hard armor was manufactured using a sandwich panel construction consisting of a ceramic faceplate, a CMF core, and a thin aluminum back plate.
