Analyzing the influence of the investment casting process parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of open-pore Al–7Si foams

Aluminum alloy foams with high specific compressive strength and good energy absorption capacity are widely used as structural materials and shock absorbers. The investment casting process offers an interesting opportunity for the production of open-pore aluminum foams. However, foam casting differs...
