Aluminum foams are new kind of structural-functional composite materials which comprised of aluminum matrix and gas pores. In this paper, aluminum foams with homogeneous pore structure made by 6063 aluminum alloy were fabricated by melt foaming method. As comparison, the aluminum foams were also fabricated by pure aluminum. Studies on process parameter, microstructure and mechanical properties have been carried out. Process optimization for aluminum foams made by 6063 alloys has been studied according to the orthogonal experimental design method. The cell wall of aluminum foam is comprised of Al matrix, Ca-thickening phase and Ti-containing phase. The difference between foams made by 6063 aluminum alloy and pure aluminum is that there is element Mg and element Si dissolved in the matrix in the 6063 aluminum foam, which are positive to the foam strength accordingly. For different base materials, the compressive strength of foams made by 6063 aluminum alloy is greater than that made by pure aluminum. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.M2017300]
