The present work aims at understanding the effect of process parameters on the porosity and forming route. A detailed investigation of the microporosity and nano have been undertaken through microcomputer tomography (µ respectively. The µ maximum of CF have been by nanoindentation analysis and compared with commercially pure (CP) aluminium. The sphericity results of the foam show that the pores are near spherical (with a sph diameter is below 50 µm, beyond which, the sphericity index decreases
