Foam materials were sintered at 130 ºC for 1 hour and at 550 ºC for 3 hours. The microstructure was analyzed with optical and scanning electron microscopes (SEM). Compression strength was measured with a compression tester. The porosity increased from 34.8% to 37.8%, the compressive strength increased from 12.43 MPa to 20.25 MPa, and the hardness increased from 98 HV to 115 HV with increasing dross amount.
