。Therefore, the basic principle of the present invention is to dissolve a soluble gas in the molten metal, then rapidly reduce the pressure to generate gas bubbles in the molten metal, and solidify the molten metal in this foamed state. It is a feature. The configuration of the present invention will be described in detail below using the examples shown in FIGS. 1(a), 1(b), and 1e. First, the same figure (a)
As shown in , a gas soluble in the molten metal (1) (for example, H2 gas or N2 gas in the case of molten steel) is bubbled into the molten metal (1) to dissolve it. If this is done under a pressurized atmosphere, a large amount of the gas will dissolve. Next, if the atmosphere is rapidly reduced in pressure, such as by making it into a vacuum state, the previously dissolved gas components will appear throughout the molten metal (1) as fine gas bubbles, as shown in Figure (b). .. In this state, for example, as shown in the same figure (C), the copper plate (2)

以下本発明の具体的実施例につき説明する。In addition, the present inventors conducted experiments in the Examples described below, and in carrying out the above method, reduced pressure treatment conditions were determined so that the foaming ratio H, which is generally required for foamed metals, would be 0.8 or more. We will clarify this and propose it as the second invention. That is. 713 Soluble gas dissolved in molten metal (X)
It is characterized by controlling the atmospheric pressure Pa in the furnace during pressure reduction with respect to the equilibrium gas partial pressure Px under the conditions shown in the following equation. Px-Pa≧O. l (at+i) [Example] Specific examples of the present invention will be described below.

ろ、0.82であった。First, 1 kg of Fa-based molten metal is melted in an N2 gas atmosphere,
The pressure was rapidly reduced in the vacuum melting furnace. This reduced pressure is due to the N in the molten metal.
The atmospheric pressure Pa in the furnace is lowered to below the equilibrium gas partial pressure Px of the two gases, and the average of (Px-Pa) is 0.2.
It was called ATM. At this time, a large amount of fine N2 gas bubbles are generated throughout the molten metal, resulting in a foaming state. After confirming this foamed state, two cooled copper plates were inserted into it, and the molten metal between the copper plates was solidified to obtain a foamed metal.
When a part of this metal was sampled and its foaming rate H was measured, it was found to be 0.82.

にして求めている。While conducting the above experiments, the inventors realized that the following matters were important. In other words, from the time the cooling operation starts from the foaming state until the molten metal solidifies, it is necessary to maintain the state in which the generated bubbles lift the metal, but in order to do this, a certain amount of gas generation is required. This means that Therefore, the present inventors further conducted an experiment to examine the relationship between the furnace atmosphere pressure Pa, which is related to the amount of gas bubbles generated, and the foaming rate H of the foamed metal, and obtained the results shown in FIG. 2. This figure is a graph showing how much the foaming rate H of the molten metal becomes when the furnace atmosphere pressure Pa is lowered to a value lower than the equilibrium gas partial pressure Px of the N2 gas component in the molten metal. .. Note that this X-axis coordinate is the average of the difference (Px-Pa) between the equilibrium gas partial pressure Px and the furnace atmosphere pressure Pa during the pressure reduction process. As shown in FIG. 3, the foaming rate H is determined by determining how much h2 the bath surface height after foaming has increased from the bath surface height h0 before foaming, and using the following equation.
同図から明らかなように、平均(Px−Pa)が0.1
stm以上である時に、発泡率Hが0.8以上となるこ
とがわかる.従って凝固後に発泡金属として得るために
は、少なくともPx−Paが0.1atm以上になるよ
うに炉内雰囲気圧力Paを制御する必要がある。As is clear from the figure, the average (Px-Pa) is 0.1
It can be seen that when the foaming rate H is 0.8 or more when the foaming rate is 0.8 or more. Therefore, in order to obtain a foamed metal after solidification, it is necessary to control the furnace atmospheric pressure Pa so that Px-Pa is at least 0.1 atm or more.
以上詳述したように本発明法によれば,発泡剤の混合等
