Automotive Crash Protection Applications

Our metal foam solutions are engineered for critical impact zones in modern vehicles, with special focus on electric vehicle safety requirements.

Crash Boxes

Energy-absorbing crash boxes that collapse predictably during impacts, protecting the vehicle's main structure and occupants.

Frontal & Rear Impact

Bumper Reinforcements

Lightweight yet extremely strong bumper cores that absorb low-speed impact energy, reducing repair costs.

Pedestrian Safety

Door Side-Impact Protection

Integrated side impact beams that provide superior protection in T-bone collisions while minimizing door thickness.

FMVSS 214 Compliant

Underbody Protection

Skid plates and underbody shields that protect critical components from road debris and minor impacts.

Off-road & Urban

EV Battery Pack Protection ⭐

Critical safety solution for electric vehicles: metal foam barriers that protect battery packs from puncture and thermal runaway during impacts.

EV Safety Critical

Seat & Cockpit Protection

Energy-absorbing components in seats and cockpits that reduce injury risk during rollovers and secondary impacts.

Occupant Safety

Technical Advantages of Metal Foam for Crash Protection

Our nickel-iron and aluminum foam materials offer unparalleled performance in energy absorption and weight reduction.

Energy Absorption

3,430 kJ/m³

300% higher than traditional honeycomb structures. Absorbs impact energy through controlled plastic deformation.

Weight Reduction

55% vs Solid Steel

Critical for EV range optimization. Maintains structural integrity while dramatically reducing vehicle mass.

Recyclability
