Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 5–6 mm Pore Size, 100 × 200 × 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 × 200 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 × 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 sheet requires storage in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and structural damage. The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination prior to use.

  • Storage Environment: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to avoid moisture and dirt contamination.
  • Impact Protection: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact and crushing to maintain structural integrity.
  • Inspection Before Use: Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing.

Follow these steps to safely handle and prepare the aluminum foam sheets for use. Proper inspection and storage ensure the material retains its structural integrity and performance.

  1. Inspect Package
    Inspect the package for damage upon receipt to ensure the sheets are intact.
  2. Verify Dimensions
    Verify the sheet dimensions and visible pore structure against the specifications before use.
  3. Store Properly
    Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the cellular surface from heavy impact and contamination.

How does the 55–65% open-cell rate affect the foam's suitability for filtration versus heat transfer applications?

The open-cell rate indicates the proportion of interconnected pores in the aluminum foam. For filtration, a higher open-cell rate (closer to 65%) allows better fluid passage but may reduce particle capture efficiency, while for heat transfer, the interconnected network enhances convective heat dissipation. The product description states that the open-cell rate helps users compare passage geometry and surface-contact behavior, but does not provide specific performance data for either application.

Can this aluminum foam be integrated into existing test fixtures without additional surface treatment?

Yes, the aluminum-alloy framework provides a rigid porous medium that is convenient for integration into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and prototype housings as stated in the product overview. The standard sheet size is 100×200×10 mm and can be cut to fit, but the source does not specify whether surface treatment is required for bonding or mounting.

What storage and handling precautions are required to maintain the foam's structural integrity?

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, as specified in the HANDLING & INSPECTION section.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet with 5–6 mm pores and 10 mm thickness offers a high-porosity (70–90%) interconnected network suitable for heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies, while requiring careful handling to preserve its cellular structure and moderate open-cell rate (55–65%) that affects flow and light transmission.

Positive

  • High porosity and interconnected pore network: Porosity of 70–90% combined with an interconnected open-pore network provides continuous passages for fluid flow, heat dissipation, and light transmission, suiting heat-transfer and filtration studies.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The aluminum-alloy cellular structure is lightweight yet rigid, facilitating integration into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and cut-to-fit research components.

Trade-offs

  • Handling and storage sensitivity: The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, and stored in a clean, dry area to maintain structural integrity and pore clarity.
  • Moderate open-cell rate: With a typical open-cell rate of 55–65%, a portion of the pore volume remains closed, which may reduce effective flow cross-section and light transmission compared to fully open-cell foams.
