THE METHOD OF PRODUCING A CLAD, POROUS, METAL ARTICLE WHICH COMPRISES CASTING A METAL INTO A MOLD FILLED WITH WATER SOLUBLE SALT GRANULES WHICH HAVE A MELTING POINT ABOVE THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH THE METAL IS CAST, REMOVING THE SALT-METAL CASTING FROM THE MOLD AFTER SOLIDIFICATION, PROVIDING AN AXIAL BORE THE LENGTH OF THE CASTING, INSERTING THE CASTING INTO A DENSE METAL JACKET, SUBJECTING THE ASSEMBLY THUS-FORMED TO AN EXTRUSION PROCESS, PROVIDING APERTURES IN THE JACKET TO A DEPTH SUFFICIENT TO EXPOSE THE SALT-METAL CORE, AND FORCING WATER THROUGH THE SALT LADEN CORE TO LEACH THE WATER SOLUBLE SALT FROM THE POROUS CORE OF THE ARTICLE.
