Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 5–6 mm Pore Size, 100 × 100 × 5 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 5–6 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 100 × 100 mm and a nominal thickness of 5 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 × 100 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.

Open-cell aluminum foam sheets require storage in a clean, dry area to prevent damage. The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.

  • Environmental and Physical Protection: Store sheets in a clean, dry environment and protect from physical damage and contamination.

This procedure describes the recommended handling and storage steps for open-cell aluminum foam sheets. Following these steps ensures the material remains in usable condition for research applications.

  1. Inspect Package
    Inspect the package upon delivery for any signs of damage.
  2. Verify Dimensions and Pore Structure
    Verify the sheet dimensions and examine the visible pore structure.
  3. Store in Clean Dry Area
    Store the sheets in a clean, dry environment.
  4. Protect from Impact and Contamination
    Handle the sheets with care to avoid heavy impact, crushing, or contamination.

What is the difference between porosity and open-cell rate for this aluminum foam?

Porosity (70–90% typical) refers to the total void fraction within the foam, including both interconnected and isolated pores. Open-cell rate (55–65% typical) specifically indicates the proportion of pores that are interconnected, forming continuous passages through the sheet. This distinction is critical for applications requiring fluid flow or light transmission, as only the open-cell fraction contributes to permeability.

Can this open-cell aluminum foam sheet be cut or ordered in custom dimensions?

Yes, custom dimensions are available upon consultation. The standard sheet size is 100 × 100 × 5 mm, but for dimensional feasibility review, you can provide target length, width, thickness, pore-size range, and estimated quantity to the engineering sales team.

What are the recommended storage and handling conditions for this aluminum foam sheet?

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

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet with 5–6 mm pore size and 5 mm thickness provides a rigid, interconnected porous medium suitable for heat-transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies, with typical porosity of 70–90% and open-cell rate of 55–65%.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The continuous open passages through the metallic cellular structure support airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission, enabling versatile lab integration for heat dissipation or filtration studies.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The foamed aluminum alloy provides a rigid yet lightweight porous medium that can be cut to fit and integrated into test fixtures, prototype housings, or layered assemblies without significant mass loading.

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to crushing and contamination: The cellular surface must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact or crushing, as the open-cell structure is mechanically fragile and can be deformed or clogged under improper handling.
  • Requires confirmation of operating environment: The aluminum alloy framework may not be chemically compatible with all media or temperatures; users must verify the intended medium, mounting method, and surrounding conditions before deployment to avoid corrosion or structural failure.
