Abstract
Considerable progress has been made recently in the production of metallic foams. Scale up has progressed so far that widespread commercial use may be come a reality in the nearfuture. In this review the merits of the various fabrication techniques are highlighted, while particular emphasis is placed on the demand of the various applications and the suitability of each proc ess to meet these demands.
