Methods of obtaining porous materials based on aluminum

The article presents an overview of the main methods for producing porous aluminum. Formed groups of methods with similar production technology. Considered the scope of application of porous aluminum in the industry. Reflects the characteristics of the obtained porous products. The dependence of mechanical properties of finished products from the method of obtaining porous aluminum. It is established that with the growth of the ordered porous structure is observed improvement of the mechanical properties. Identified methods for the production of aluminum with the most optimal porous structure for obtaining products with high specific mechanical properties and high weight efficiency. As a result of the review confirmed the need to develop ways to create material based on aluminium with an ordered porous structure.
