摘      要：This paper briefly presents characteristics, application and development of the metallic foams. Sound specimen has been achieved with prepared foam aluminum by using investment casting process. The preparation of plaster prefabricated mould is one key in investment casting. Main composition, ingredient and affecting factors of plaster mould are also discussed and the vacuum-infiltrated shaping technique is found to be another important link. The penetration model and the affecting mechanism of the main parameters are also analyzed. As a result, the optimum values are determined.
