Open-cell aluminum foams based on the cast A356 alloy were produced by the melt squeezing replication process using NaCl particles as space-holder material. The porosity and compressive mechanical properties of the produced foams, i.e. Young’s modulus, yield strength and energy absorption capacity, were measured under uniaxial compression condition. An artificial neural network (ANN) methodology was...
