In this study, vacuum-gas infiltration setup was used to produce aluminium-B4C composite foam. The mentioned method involves addition of space holder materials and a dissolution technique to remove them after solidification of the metal. As space holder materials NaCl particles were selected and mixed with B4C powders to produce A360 (AlSi10Mg) aluminium-B4C composite foam. By changing the weight ratio of B4C particles, the alteration of the properties such as compression strength, density and porosity were investigated. Additionally, computer tomography views were obtained to see and interpret the section views of the alloy and composite foam. Compression tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of the foams under static loading. Results show that, the metal foam with % 0.5 B4C reinforcement has the greatest compression strength and the alloy foam has the lowest compression strength. The ceramic content especially %0,5, increased the compressive strength and the toughness of the foam.
