These metallic materials have specific properties, such as large rigidity at low density, high thermal conductivity, capability to absorb energy, etc. The work is focused on the preparation of these materials using conventional casting technology (infiltration method), which ensures rapid and economically feasible method for production of shaped components. In the experimental part we studied conditions of casting of metallic foams with open pores and irregular cell structure made of ferrous and nonferrous alloys by use of various types of filler material (precursors).}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Manufacturing of Cast Metal Foams with Irregular Cell Structure}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/88577/PDF/12_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2015-0038}, keywords={Metallic foam, Precursor, Casting, Irregular cell structure}, }
