Abstract
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a porous metal foam cone assembly. The metal foam cone assembly according to the present invention includes providing a porous metal foam sheet; cutting the porous metal foam sheet to be in a predetermined shape using a cutting press that is provided with a knife tool; disposing the cut metal foam sheet on a base plate of a forming die and then primarily forming the metal foam sheet using a mandrel of a cone shape; secondarily forming the metal foam sheet using a left slider and a right slider of the forming die; and pressing an overlapping portion of the metal foam sheet using a stamping jig of the forming die after the forming using the left and right sliders.
