Igwebu lensimbi lisetshenziswa kabanzi emkhakheni wezinto eziphilayo ukwenza amathambo okwenziwa; ngaphezu kwalokho, igwebu lensimbi lingasetshenziswa futhi emkhakheni wezinto zebhethri, okwandisa kakhulu ukuminyana kwamandla amabhethri. Ngaphezu kwalokho, emkhakheni wezempi, insimbi ye-foam nayo isetshenziswa kabanzi ekukhiqizeni izinto zokuzivikela ezifana nama-bulletproof vests kanye nokufaka.

Igwebu lensimbi lisetshenziswa ekwenzeni ukuhlanzwa, ukuhlunga, izisekelo ze-catalytic, ama-electrode namanye amadivaysi ku-petrochemical, i-aerospace, nokuvikelwa kwemvelo. I-Metal Foam ibhekisela entweni ekhethekile yensimbi equkethe ama-foam pores. Ngezici zayo ezihlukile zesakhiwo, insimbi yegwebu inochungechunge lwezinzuzo ezinhle njengokuminyana okuphansi, ukusebenza kahle kokufakwa kwe-thermal, ukusebenza kahle kokufakwa komsindo kanye nekhono lokumunca amagagasi kagesi. Ukuthuthukiswa kwamakhemikhali nokunye kwezimboni. Ukulungiswa kwegwebu lensimbi kuhlanganisa i-powder metallurgy kanye ne-electroplating. Owokuqala ulungiswa ngokwengeza i-agent ekhihlizayo ensimbi encibilikisiwe ukuze kutholwe igwebu lensimbi; Lesi sakamuva siphindaphindwa kuhlaka lwamathambo e-polyurethane foam nge-electrodeposition.

Kungashiwo ukuthi njengento ekhethekile yensimbi, i-foam yensimbi inethemba elihle kakhulu lesicelo. Njengamanje, emphakathini wocwaningo lwesayensi, insimbi ye-foam isetshenziswa emkhakheni wezempi; kwakhiwe amavesti ezempi angavimbela izinhlamvu zezikhali; ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngokusho kwezici zensimbi ye-foam ngokwayo, insimbi ye-foam yenziwa into ehlanganisiwe yensimbi engenasici, esetshenziselwa ukuvikela izimoto ezihlomile. Ukwanda, ngenkathi kunciphisa kakhulu isisindo semoto yezikhali ngokwayo. Ngokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kwesayensi nobuchwepheshe, insimu kanye nobubanzi bokusetshenziswa kwegwebu lensimbi nakho kuyakhula. Kungashiwo ukuthi inohlu olubanzi kakhulu lwezinhlelo zokusebenza, futhi ithemba lesicelo nalo liyathembisa esikhathini esizayo.
