Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 2–3 mm Pore Size, 200 × 200 × 6 mm, 5/10 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell aluminum foam is a lightweight porous-metal sheet formed from an aluminum-alloy cellular framework. Its interconnected pore network combines a high internal surface area with continuous open passages, making it suitable for laboratory evaluation, prototype construction and engineering projects that require a controlled porous structure.

This configuration has a 2–3 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 200 × 200 mm and a nominal thickness of 6 mm. Typical porosity is 70–90%. The typical open-cell rate is 55–65%. These parameters help users compare passage geometry, surface-contact behavior and integration requirements.

The open structure can support heat-transfer and heat-dissipation studies, gas or liquid filtration assemblies, acoustic-control experiments, light-transmitting structures and other applications where a rigid metallic porous medium is required. The aluminum framework also makes the sheet convenient for integration into test fixtures, layered assemblies, prototype housings and cut-to-fit research components.

Before ordering, confirm the required pore-size range, sheet length and width, thickness, package quantity and intended operating environment. Dimensional customization can be discussed when the standard 200 × 200 mm format does not match the planned installation, prototype or experimental setup.

Application Scope

Suitable for porous-metal research, heat-transfer and heat-dissipation studies, gas or liquid filtration assemblies, acoustic-control experiments, light-transmitting structures and laboratory fixtures that require a rigid, interconnected open-cell medium. The sheet can also be evaluated as a flow-distribution layer, porous support, structural insert or cut-to-fit component in research and engineering assemblies.

SELECTION GUIDANCE: Confirm the pore-size range, porosity requirement, cell structure, sheet length and width, thickness and required quantity before quotation. The intended medium, mounting method and surrounding operating conditions should also be considered when matching the material to an experimental or engineering setup.
HANDLING & INSPECTION: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing and contamination. After delivery, check the package condition, sheet dimensions and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding or installing the material.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Custom dimensions are available upon consultation. For a dimensional feasibility review, provide the target length, width, thickness, pore-size range and estimated quantity.

This document outlines the storage and handling requirements for open-cell aluminum foam sheets. Adherence to these constraints prevents structural damage and contamination of the porous network.

  • Storage Environment: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to avoid moisture and contamination.
  • Protection from Mechanical Damage: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and deformation.
  • Post-Delivery Inspection: After delivery, check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure.
  • Pre-Processing Check: Confirm the material integrity before cutting, bonding, or installing the sheet.

What is the significance of specifying both porosity (70–90%) and open-cell rate (55–65%) for this aluminum foam?

Porosity indicates the total void fraction, while open-cell rate specifies the proportion of interconnected pores that allow fluid flow. The combination defines both the overall density and the effective permeability, which are critical for applications like filtration and heat transfer where continuous passages are required.

Can this 6 mm thick aluminum foam sheet be integrated into a layered assembly for combined thermal and acoustic management?

Yes, the rigid aluminum-alloy framework and interconnected pore network make it suitable for layered assemblies targeting both heat dissipation and acoustic control. The 200×200 mm sheet size and 6 mm thickness allow integration into test fixtures and prototype housings, though performance should be validated under specific operating conditions.

What storage and handling conditions are recommended to preserve the structural integrity of this open-cell foam?

Store sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. Before cutting, bonding, or installing, inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure to ensure the material meets experimental requirements.

This 200×200×6 mm open-cell aluminum foam with 2–3 mm pores provides a lightweight, rigid porous medium with 70–90% porosity and 55–65% open-cell rate, suitable for heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies. Its interconnected network supports fluid and light transmission, but the sheet requires careful handling and its moderate open-cell fraction may affect flow uniformity.

Positive

  • Interconnected porous network: The 2–3 mm interconnected open-pore network provides continuous passages for fluid flow and light transmission, enabling versatile use in heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic experiments.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum matrix: The 70–90% porosity and aluminum alloy framework yield a lightweight yet rigid porous medium, convenient for integration into test fixtures and cut-to-fit research components.

Trade-offs

  • Fragile cellular structure: The cellular surface is susceptible to heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, requiring clean, dry storage and careful handling during cutting, bonding, or installation.
  • Moderate open-cell rate: With a typical open-cell rate of 55–65%, a portion of cells are closed, which may limit flow uniformity or filtration efficiency in applications requiring fully open porosity.
