Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the functional properties such as heat radiation performance and water absorption power of micro-porous metals produced by powder space holder method To investigate the effects of pore size on heat radiation performance, the heat transfer coefficients of micro-porous copper specimens were measured under various air flow rates. Also, to know the water absorption behavior of micro-porous metals, the weight change of porous stainless-steel specimens in a water immersion was evaluated.
