Abstract
Metal foams belong thanks to their unique properties into the group of new and perspective materials. The paper deals with foundry procedures used for production of cast metal foams based on non-ferrous metals alloys. Individual procedures of production in lab and pilot conditions are described, which result in casting with certain structural regularity. Attention is paid also to the obtained microstructure of these cast materials and to evaluation of their properties. The experimental part summarises the existing research works in this area, including future possibilities of their use. Cast metal foams are not yet produced in Czech Republic on industrial scale.
