Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 2–3 mm Pore Size, 200 × 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 200 × 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 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.

The open-cell aluminum foam must be stored in a clean, dry environment to prevent moisture contamination and physical damage. The cellular surface requires protection from heavy impact, crushing, and deformation during handling and storage.

  • Storage Environment: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area away from moisture and corrosive atmospheres to maintain structural integrity.

Inspect the open-cell aluminum foam sheets for package condition, dimensional accuracy, and pore structure defects before use. This inspection ensures the material meets experimental requirements and is free from damage.

  1. Inspect Package Condition
    Inspect the package condition upon delivery to confirm no damage occurred during transit.
  2. Verify Sheet Dimensions
    Verify the sheet dimensions, including length, width, and thickness, against the ordered specifications.
  3. Examine Pore Structure
    Examine the visible pore structure for any signs of crushing, contamination, or deformation before cutting or installing the material.

What are the recommended storage and handling procedures for Atomfair open-cell aluminum foam sheets?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. After delivery, inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

Can the Atomfair AF-O23-20-T08 aluminum foam be ordered in custom dimensions?

Yes, custom dimensions are available upon consultation. To initiate a dimensional feasibility review, provide the target length, width, thickness, pore-size range, and estimated quantity to the engineering sales team.

What is the significance of the 55–65% typical open-cell rate in this aluminum foam?

The open-cell rate indicates the proportion of interconnected pores that create continuous passages through the metallic cellular structure. This parameter is critical for applications requiring fluid or gas flow, such as filtration, heat dissipation, or acoustic control, as it directly affects permeability and surface-contact behavior.

Open-cell aluminum foam with 2–3 mm pore size, 70–90% porosity, and 55–65% open-cell rate provides a rigid interconnected porous medium for heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies, but requires careful handling to avoid pore damage and has limited standard dimensions.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The 70–90% porosity and 55–65% open-cell rate create continuous passages through the sheet, supporting airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission for heat-transfer and filtration research.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The 200×200×8 mm foamed aluminum-alloy sheet is lightweight yet structurally rigid, enabling easy integration into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and cut-to-fit prototype components.

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to crushing and contamination: The open-cell structure requires storage in a clean, dry area and protection from heavy impact or crushing, as pore integrity is essential for consistent performance in flow or acoustic applications.
  • Fixed standard sheet dimensions: The sheet is available only in 200×200×8 mm; custom dimensions require consultation, and the 2–3 mm pore-size range may not suit experiments requiring finer or coarser porous media.
