Integral foam parts are defined as castings having a cellular core and an integral solid skin with the transition from the skin to the core being gradual. In this work the so-called High Pressure Integral Foam Moulding (HP-IFM) process for the production of light metal integral foam parts is presented. The process is an adaptation of the established high pressure integral foam moulding processes used for the production of net-shaped polymer integral foam parts. The essential differences between polymer and light metal processing necessitate technical solutions of various aspects of the process which are explained. For aluminium integral foam parts two important process parameters - the time delay and the expansion time - are studied with respect to their influence on the resultant foam structure.
