Popis: Interesting properties of metal foams such as light weight, good energy absorption and low thermal conductivity, have promoted the development of new processes to improve properties without sacrificing productivity. This study aims to verify the uniformity pore distribution in an aluminum alloy foam obtained by Casting - Dissolution Process, using a nondestructive analysis. In order to evaluate mechanical properties of a metal foam using computational numerical models, the use of a small reconstructed section of the sample representing an entire volume of metal foam, was validated. In conclusion, it was possible to determine that all parts of the sample have the equivalent superficial area and volume.
