In this study, three–layered porous aluminum consisting of AC4CH (porosity: 70%) / pure aluminum (80%) / A6061 (75%) / and AC4CH (70%) / pure aluminum (70%) / A6061 (70%) were fabricated by a sintering and dissolution process. When plateau stress of each layer was significantly different, such as three–layered porous aluminum with varying porosities (70% / 80% / 75%), exhibited clear multiple plateau regions corresponding to the deformation of each layer. In contrast, when plateau stress of each layer had a close value (70% / 70% / 70%), such as three–layered porous aluminum with homogeneous porosities, exhibited no clear multiple plateau regions.

(a) Deformation behavior and (b) stress–strain curves of three-layered porous aluminum consisting of AC4CH (70%) / pure aluminum (80%) / A6061 (75%) and corresponding uniform porous aluminum.
