The aluminum or magnesium liquid obtained by fused salt electrolysis was usually casted into ingots in the past. Nowadays, the aluminum liquid has been used to fabricate its alloys and even its ultimate products directly. In this paper, the method to prepare aluminum or magnesium foam by liquid route will be introduced, i.e. the industrial aluminum or magnesium liquid will be used as primary material to manufacture a kind of foamed materials holding multiple functional characteristics. The structural and functional properties, as well as potential applications of these materials, will be also discussed in the paper.
Keywords: aluminum foam; magnesium foam; liquid route
