The results show that there exist three processes for the formation of bubble-free layer. The first process is the initial stages of foaming, in this process, bubbles move upwards, and a portion of liquid remains at the bottom and becomes bubble-free layer. The second and the third processes are during the process of growth of bubbles, in these processes, bigger pressure of liquid stored in films makes liquid in films flow to plateau borders, and then the liquid in plateau borders flows to the bottom through plateau channels, and form bubble-free layer. When 0.5%Mg(mass fraction) is added into Al melt containing 3%Ca, the surface tension of melt decreases significantly, and the thickness of bubble-free layer in Al foam
