In this research the characterization of open cell aluminium foam with 20 pores per inch (ppi) of Alporas rout under mechanical loading is presented in order to provide a basic understanding with respect to pore size per unit length for the right selection in various engineering applications. For this purpose three point bending/flexural test and hardness test were performed on open cell aluminum foam to seek out their respective properties in each test. All samples and test procedure were performed as per ASTM standards. The captured results from the tests revealed that; the 20 pores per inch (ppi) exhibited 4.69 MPa bending strength at peak and 3.65 HRV1 hardness at 1Kg-force. Moreover the macro crack appeared at the central regime of the samples and ductile nature fractured was observed of three point bending test.
