ABSTRACT This work reports the technology of preparation about foamed Zn-Al eutectoid alloy, which were prepared by an air pressure infiltration process using NaCl crystals as place holders. The method consists of five sequential processes: particles preprocessing, preparing preform, preheating, infiltration casting, machining and cleaning. The porosity of foamed Zn-Al eutectoid alloy is 61%. The mean diameter of macroscopic pore is on the order of a millimeter (1.0 mm) in the foamed Zn-Al eutectoid alloy with open-pore structure.
