Abstract
An aluminum plate () is first plastic-deformed (FIG.D) in such a way as to envelop a foaming-agent compact (), which is not foamed yet. Then, terminals of the aluminum plate () are integrally seam-welded (FIG.E) to thereby obtain a closed section structure (). Subsequently, the foaming-agent compact () contained in the closed section structure () is foamed by being heated to foaming temperature thereof. Consequently, a pipe-like frame filled with a foam () is obtained.
