Metal Foam Center

Balcony demonstrator

structure: Aluminum foam plates with rod steel mesh around the edges and mineral surface coating
advantages for the application of metal foam:
- high bending stiffness together with low weight
- fire retardant effect (DIN 4102)
- effective shielding against electromagnetic waves
- possibility of integrating stainless steel pipes for e.g. water or air supply
- noise protection or -damping (open-cell foam)
- energy absorption and vibration reduction

section with original dimensions for four parking spaces with appropriate working range
traversing space: 80 m²
4 pillars HEA 600, 2 longitudinal beams HEA 600, 2 beam grillages HEA 180; 2,0 m
Advantages:
- easy handling in the assembly and disassembly process by existing align elements for position fixing during installation without traffic load
- reduced number of needed bolt connections by usage of these align elements for transverse force and torque transmission
Coating solutions:
- powder coating
- acrylic resin varnish
- mineral coating of the company Westox
- enamel
