Foamable AlSi11 precursors were uniaxially hot-compacted under vacuum and air and then
foamed. We studied the influence of the compaction atmosphere on the foaming behaviour
in situ by X-ray radioscopy. In vacuum-pressed precursors the growth of elongated bubbles
was reduced, resulting in a larger expansion and more reproducible foaming due to
improved consolidation. As a consequence, foams made from these precursors show a
more regular pore size distribution than foams made from traditionally pressed precursors.
