This document describes machining of metal foams. It is known that this materials are extremely porous, so with this experiment it will be tried to find the best way of machining to have the less possible porosity in the machined surface, also it pretends to reduce the roughness of this surface. Given the very broad group of metal foams, we are in the research focused on aluminum foam with a closed - cell structure. Treatment of samples was held at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Maribor, on the CNC lathe Doosan Lynx 220LM. Other technological parameters such as rotational speed, feed rate and depth of cut, the final porosity of the treated surfaces do not have such an effect.
