Abstract

The formation of an openwork structure e.g., of metal, utilizing low-temperature arc vapor deposition on a foam which is destroyed by pyrolysis is enhanced by applying a portion of the metal in a metal spray of powders in a binder which is also pyrolytically destroyed. The product has essentially the same properties as one made exclusively by the low-temperature arc vapor deposition method.
