The purpose this study is to reduce the cost of porous aluminum (Al) by using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as a foaming agent. First, fabricated A6061 precursor with CaCO3 and Alumina (Al2O3) addition by friction stir processing. Next, precursor was heating and foaming in electric furnace. Pore structures of obtained porous Al were nondestructively observed by X-ray CT. As the result, this specimen by using CaCO3 as a foaming agent was successfully fabricated.
