“…Pure metals and varieties of their alloys are used for the manufacturing of metal foams [10,11,12,13]. Among the various open-cell metal foams with high thermal/electrical conductivity and liquid/gas permeability, aluminum foams have emerged as promising material in areas such as heat exchangers, filters, catalyst carriers, and electrodes in aluminum-air batteries due to low cost, relatively easy manufacturing of required functional geometries, and better mechanical properties compared to other low melting metals [14,15,16,17,18,19].…”
