Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 2–3 mm Pore Size, 100 × 200 × 8 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 100 × 200 mm and a nominal thickness of 8 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 100 × 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.

Store the aluminum foam sheets in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and structural damage. Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contaminants during handling, cutting, bonding, or installation.

  • Storage Environment: Store sheets in a clean, dry area to avoid moisture or particulate contamination.
  • Impact Protection: Avoid heavy impact or crushing forces that could deform the cellular structure.
  • Inspection Requirement: Inspect package condition, dimensions, and pore structure upon delivery before use.
  • Operating Environment Consideration: Confirm the intended medium, mounting method, and surrounding conditions for compatibility.
  • Processing Precautions: Use appropriate methods for cutting, bonding, or installing to maintain structural integrity.

Follow these steps to store, inspect, and process the aluminum foam sheets for experimental use. Proper handling ensures the integrity of the porous structure and prevents damage.

Required Equipment:

  1. Store in Clean Dry Area
    Store the aluminum foam sheets in a clean, dry area, protecting the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.
  2. Inspect Upon Delivery
    Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure upon delivery before proceeding with further handling.
  3. Process for Application
    Cut, bond, or install the material using methods appropriate for the intended application and operating environment.

How do the porosity (70–90%) and open-cell rate (55–65%) differ, and why are both specified for this aluminum foam?

Porosity refers to the total void fraction within the foam (70–90% typical), while open-cell rate (55–65% typical) indicates the proportion of pores that are interconnected and allow fluid passage. Both parameters are specified because a high porosity does not guarantee all pores are open; the open-cell rate quantifies the effective flow-through volume, which is critical for applications like filtration or heat transfer where continuous passages are required.

Can this 8 mm thick open-cell aluminum foam sheet be integrated into a flow-through filtration assembly without additional support structures?

The sheet's rigid aluminum-alloy framework provides structural integrity, making it suitable for low-pressure filtration assemblies. However, for high-pressure or high-flow conditions, additional support may be necessary to prevent deformation. The 8 mm thickness offers moderate self-support, but integration should consider the operating pressure, mounting method, and the intended medium as noted in the selection guidance.

What precautions should be taken when cutting or machining this open-cell aluminum foam to avoid pore collapse?

To preserve the interconnected pore structure, use sharp cutting tools such as a band saw or water jet and avoid applying heavy impact or crushing forces. The handling instructions recommend storing sheets in a clean, dry area and protecting the cellular surface from contamination and mechanical damage before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

Atomfair's open-cell aluminum foam sheet (2–3 mm pores, 100×200×8 mm) offers an interconnected porous network with 70–90% porosity and 55–65% open-cell rate, suitable for heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic experiments, but requires careful handling and confirmed dimensions.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The 2–3 mm pore size with interconnected passages supports airflow, fluid flow, and light transmission, making it suitable for filtration, heat transfer, and acoustic studies.
  • High porosity and surface area: Typical porosity of 70–90% and open-cell rate of 55–65% provide a high internal surface area for thermal and fluid interaction in laboratory assemblies.

Trade-offs

  • Fixed sheet dimensions: The standard 100 × 200 × 8 mm format is fixed; custom dimensions require consultation and feasibility review, limiting immediate integration for non-standard installations.
  • Handling and storage sensitivity: Sheets must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, indicating mechanical fragility in the cellular structure.
