In this research developed the technique for the metal foam based on the Al-carbon nanotubes composite material. The optimal regimes for the samples foaming are proposed. The pilot samples were received. The behavior of the pores distribution in the samples volume is presented.

This work is devoted to the study of the synthesis of various ternary intermetallic compounds based on aluminum in two alternative ways -self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and mechanosynthesis (MS) and subsequent hot extrusion (HE) of pure aluminum powder mixtures as a matrix and the abovementioned TIM as a hardening additive. Mechanical tensile tests showed an increase in tensile strength by 3.3 -9.7% rel. (Except for one specimen, which stands out from the others) and an increase in microhardness by 9.3 -49.1%. The microstructure analysis shows a uniform distribution of hardening particles over the matrix volume, which indicates a high uniformity of the distribution of TIM based on aluminum in the aluminum matrix.
