Mughrabi iiiAbstract ABSTRACT There have been increased technological developments in the production of alumi-num foams. Both physical and mechanical properties of aluminum foam are not only controlled by their composition, but are affected significantly by cell structure. The latter is strongly affected by the initial pore form.
