Metal foams are a new class of materials with low densities and novel physical, mechanical, ther-mal, electrical and acoustic properties. One of such materials is an aluminum foam. The article deals with its industrial manufacturing processes, as well as the results of determining mechanical properties of the aluminum foam by numerical solution.
