With series production of aluminium foams according to the Fraunhofer process a reality, further improvement of structural homogeneity has gained interest. Since this characteristic is strongly influenced by blowing agent decomposition, means to adapt the latter have been investigated: The paper concentrates on thermal treatment of TiH 2 , comparing effects induced by treatment time, temperature and atmosphere variation. Structural characteristics of AlSi7 foams using TiH 2 variants as foaming agent are evaluated.
