Metal is not subject to the mechanical strength and thermal shock limitations of ceramic, cellular, and reticulated materials. Low thermal inertia allows for faster transfer of heat energy than ceramic materials. The wide variety of metals and alloys available means that means that the structure can be better tailored for your applications. Often the metal itself can be the active material as in catalytic or liquid treatment applications. The material has a high surface area versus pressure drop ratio, and with uniform lower densities.
Pressure drop is lower than in ceramic structures on a unit volume comparison.
