Preliminary study on the fabrication of aluminium foam through pressure assisted sintering dissolution process

This paper presents the work carried out to develop a technique based on pressure assisted sintering dissolution process (PASDP) to produce open celled aluminium foam. In contrast to metallic foams made by solid state sintering dissolution process (SSSDP), aluminium foams made by this improved techn...
