A porous metal body having a foam structure of 500 .mu.m or less in average pore diameter, wherein the skeleton is composed of an alloy primaril y including Fe and Cr, and Cr carbide or FeCr carbide is uniformly dispersed i n the texture. The metal porous body is produced by preparing a slurry primarily containing an Fe oxide powder having an average particle diameter of 5 .mu.m or less, at least one powder selected from metallic Cr, Cr alloys , and Cr oxides, a thermosetting resin, and a diluent, applying a coating of this slurry to a resin core body having a foam structure, performing drying, and thereafter, performing firing in a non-oxidizing atmosphere so as to produce a metal porous body having the aforementioned skeleton structure.
