Mesostructural Design and Manufacturing of Open-Pore Metal Foams by Investment Casting

The present paper describes the manufacturing process of open-pore metal foams by investment casting and the mesostructural/morphological evolution resulting from a new technique of modifying the precursor. By this technique, the precursor is coated with a polymer layer whereby a thickening of the s...
