Frequently Asked Questions

What is your typical response time for technical support requests?

For normal priority requests, we typically respond within 4 business hours. For urgent requests marked as "High" or "Urgent" in the form, we respond within 1-2 hours. Emergency support (outside business hours) is available for critical production issues.

Do you provide on-site technical support?

Yes, we provide on-site technical support for critical issues that cannot be resolved remotely. On-site support is available for production facilities in North America and key global locations. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and we'll provide a quotation for on-site engineering support.

What information should I have ready before contacting technical support?

To help us assist you quickly, please have the following information ready:

  • Material type and specifications (if known)
  • Application details and operating conditions
  • Detailed description of the issue or question
  • Photos or videos of the problem (if applicable)
  • Any test data or measurements you've collected
  • Your material lot number or order number

Do you provide material testing services for customers?

Yes, we offer comprehensive material testing services including:

  • Porosity and pore structure analysis (ASTM D2856)
  • Thermal conductivity testing (ASTM E1461)
  • Electrical conductivity measurements
  • Mechanical properties testing (compression, tensile)
  • Surface characterization (SEM, microscopy)
  • Chemical composition analysis (ICP-MS)
Contact our testing lab at testing@prometheanfoam.com for pricing and turnaround times.

Can you help with material selection for a new application?

Absolutely! Material selection guidance is one of our core services. Our engineers will work with you to understand your application requirements, environmental conditions, performance criteria, and budget constraints to recommend the optimal foam metal material and specifications. We often provide 2-3 alternative solutions with pros/cons for each option.

What if I need help with processing or fabricating foam metals?

We provide extensive processing guidance including:

  • Cutting methods (laser, waterjet, die cutting)
  • Joining techniques (soldering, brazing, welding, adhesives)
  • Forming and shaping recommendations
  • Surface treatment options
  • Integration with other materials
We can also provide custom fabricated parts if needed.
