Igwebu lensimbi linochungechunge lwezakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu: i-porosity ephezulu, indawo enkulu ethize, amandla athile aphezulu, ukuqina okuqondile okuphezulu, ukumuncwa kwamandla, ukumunca kahle nokushaqeka, ukumelana nokugqwala, ukumelana nokushisa okuphezulu, ukuvikela i-electromagnetic, okungewona ubuthi, ukucubungula kalula , ingapendwa ukwelashwa kwendawo, njll. Ngenxa yezakhiwo zayo ezinhle kakhulu zomzimba nemishini, insimbi ye-foam ingasetshenziswa njengezinto zombili zesakhiwo kanye nokusebenza. Ngokuvamile, inazo zombili izindima ezisebenzayo kanye nesakhiwo, futhi iwumsebenzi wobunjiniyela osebenza ngezindlela eziningi osebenza kahle kakhulu ohlanganisa umsebenzi nesakhiwo. Izinsimbi ze-Foam zisetshenziswa kabanzi ku-aerospace, ukuxhumana nge-elekthronikhi, ezokuthutha, amandla e-athomu, imithi, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo, i-metallurgy, imishini, ukwakhiwa, i-electrochemistry kanye nemboni ye-petrochemical.

Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwegwebu lensimbi nezinto zendabuko i-microstructure yazo eguquguqukayo kakhulu, engancishiswa kancane kancane isuka ku-millimeter iye ku-micron noma i-nanometer ngosayizi kuyilapho igcina i-porosity ephezulu. Ngakho-ke, izinsimbi ezinama-porous zinokuklama okuhle futhi zingaklanywa ngendlela emisha yokwenza ngcono kanye ne-multi-functional synergistic design ye-microstructure yazo ngaphambi kokulungiswa ngokuya ngezidingo zezinhlelo zokusebenza ezahlukene.
Isisindo esincane, ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi kanye nokuphepha nokunethezeka yizikhombisi-ndlela zokuthuthukiswa kwezimoto, futhi ukuthuthukisa ukwakheka kwezimoto kuyindlela yokunciphisa isisindo nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kukaphethiloli, kodwa kunzima ukuqhubeka nokunciphisa isikhala sekhabhinethi. Ukusetshenziswa kwezinjini ezincane noma okunye ukuncishiswa kwesakhiwo kuzoletha izinkinga ezifana nokushabalalisa ukushisa kwenjini, nokuphepha kokuphahlazeka ngenxa yomsebenzi omfushane womzimba. Isidingo sokunciphisa umsindo wezimoto siholela esidingweni sezinto ezintsha ezimunca umsindo, ngakho-ke ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezingasindi ezisebenza ngezinto eziningi zezingxenye zezimoto kunikeza isisombululo esisebenzayo ezinkingeni ezinjalo. Embonini yezimoto, lapho intengo kanye nekhwalithi yezinto zifunwa kakhulu, ukusetshenziswa kwezingxenye zegwebu ze-aluminium kunganciphisa isisindo semoto, kunciphise ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kanye nokudlidliza, kunciphise umthwalo emvelweni, futhi kwandise ukuphepha kanye nokudlidliza. ukunethezeka kwemoto. Ukusetshenziswa kwegwebu le-aluminium embonini yezimoto ikakhulukazi kufaka phakathi ukwakheka okungasindi, isakhiwo esimunca amandla kanye nesakhiwo sokudlulisa ukushisa esimanzi, njll.,
