Abstract
Porous metals like aluminum foam, which has relatively large closed cells around several millimeters, are expected as an ultra lightweight structural material in various industrial fields. Research and development of such porous metals are increased in the 1980s and some industrial applications were proposed and increased in 1990s. Focusing on a precursor method for metallic foams, the movement of related technology, innovative development in our laboratory and future possibility and issue are surveyed in the present paper.
