Abstract:
A method to manufacture reticulated metal foam via a dual investment solid mold includes pouring molten metal material into a mold while the mold is located on a chill plate. A method to manufacture reticulated metal foam includes pouring molten metal material into a mold while the mold is located on a chill plate, the chill plate configured to apply an externally driven temperature gradient in the mold so that solidification progresses from the chilled end to the non-chilled end.
