Mesostructural Design and Manufacturing of Open-Pore Metal Foams by Investment Casting

<table>Schematic diagram of mold preparation process: (a) modelling in terms of mounting precursor on gate with feeding system, (b) embedding in terms of infiltrating the pattern placed in a steel cuvette by molding material, and (c) burning out in terms of dewaxing the gating system, pyrolyzing the precursor, and hardening the mold.</table>
