Advanced Metal-Foam Solutions for Defense, Aerospace, Mobility & Industrial Applications
Altaytek’s metal-foam solutions are designed to exhibit a characteristic three-stage mechanical response under compressive loading: an initial elastic region, a broad plateau region where energy is efficiently absorbed through progressive cell collapse, and a final densification stage where stiffness rises sharply as pores are closed. This behavior enables controlled, predictable energy absorption in crash, blast and impact events. At the same time, the cellular structure contributes to thermal and acoustic insulation, helping engineers address multiple design objectives—safety, comfort and efficiency—with a single material family.
Altaytek’s product portfolio is built upon high-performance Stabilized Aluminium Foam (SAF) and Composite Metal Foam (CMF) technologies engineered to deliver superior energy absorption, structural stability, thermal efficiency, and lightweight performance across multiple industries.

While metal foams share many characteristics with conventional aluminium alloys, their high porosity and inhomogeneous structure require a dedicated engineering approach. From a design standpoint, it is important to consider the foam’s full stress–strain response, including its plateau region, to accurately predict energy absorption and deformation under load. This is why Altaytek characterizes its foams under quasi-static and dynamic conditions and focuses on delivering materials with stable, repeatable mechanical behaviour.
When metal foams need to be machined, their cellular architecture also introduces specific challenges compared to solid metals. To preserve structural integrity and surface quality, machining operations typically benefit from sharp tools, reduced cutting speeds, shallow depths of cut, appropriate cooling and, where necessary, post-machining finishing steps. Altaytek supports OEMs and manufacturing partners with practical guidance on how to integrate metal foam components into existing production lines while maintaining both performance and efficiency.
Our products enable the next generation of safe, efficient, and intelligent engineering systems.
From personal protection to military platforms, from aerospace structures to industrial components — Altaytek delivers materials that redefine performance.
