Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 5–6 mm Pore Size, 100 × 100 × 10 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 10 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.

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination and moisture damage. Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to maintain structural integrity.

  • Storage Condition: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination and moisture damage.
  • Handling Precautions: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to maintain structural integrity.
  • Pre-Use Inspection: Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

What is the typical porosity and open-cell rate of the Atomfair AF-O56-10-T10 aluminum foam, and how do these parameters affect fluid flow and heat transfer?

The typical porosity is 70–90% and the open-cell rate is 55–65%. These parameters indicate a high void fraction with interconnected passages, supporting fluid flow and heat dissipation studies. The open-cell rate ensures continuous pathways for gas or liquid passage through the metallic cellular structure.

Can the 100×100×10 mm open-cell aluminum foam sheet be cut or customized for non-standard experimental setups?

Yes, dimensional customization is available upon consultation. The standard sheet size is 100×100×10 mm, but custom dimensions can be discussed by contacting the engineering sales team with target length, width, thickness, pore-size range, and quantity.

What handling precautions are recommended to prevent damage to the open-cell aluminum foam structure?

Store 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.

This variable listing covers Atomfair AF-O56-10-T10 open-cell aluminum foam in 100 × 100 × 10 mm sheets with a 5–6 mm pore size and 5- or 10-piece package options; the translucent, interconnected metallic pore network supports flow, thermal, filtration, acoustic, and light-transmission studies, while typical porosity and open-cell rate ranges plus handling sensitivity should be considered before integration.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network with high porosity: The 5–6 mm interconnected open-pore network creates continuous passages through the 10 mm thick aluminum-alloy sheet, supporting airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission. Typical porosity of 70–90% and open-cell rate of 55–65% provide a high internal surface area for heat-transfer, filtration, or acoustic evaluation.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum-alloy foam sheet: The foamed aluminum-alloy framework yields a rigid metallic porous medium in a 100 × 100 × 10 mm sheet, suitable for integration into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and cut-to-fit research components. The lightweight cellular structure maintains mechanical rigidity while preserving open passages for the intended medium.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to impact and contamination: Handling guidance requires storage in a clean, dry area and protection of the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. The open-cell structure can be mechanically deformed or blocked if mishandled, so package and pore-structure inspection before cutting, bonding, or installation is recommended.
  • Porosity and open-cell rate are typical ranges: Porosity is stated as 70–90% and open-cell rate as 55–65%, both qualified as typical, so actual values can vary within these ranges for a given sheet. Buyers must confirm pore-size range, porosity requirement, sheet dimensions, package quantity, and intended operating environment before ordering.
