Closed-Cell Aluminum Foam 5–6 mm 100×100×8 mm ATOMFAIR®

Closed-Cell Aluminum Foam, 5–6 mm Pore Size, 100 × 100 × 8 mm, 5/10 pcs

Research-grade laboratory product

Product Overview

Closed-cell aluminum foam is a lightweight porous-metal sheet formed from an aluminum-alloy framework containing independent, sealed cells. The closed-pore geometry combines low structural mass with a metallic cellular body, making it suitable for laboratory evaluation, prototype construction and engineering projects that require impact management, sound control or lightweight structural filling.

This configuration has a 5–6 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 100 × 100 mm and a nominal thickness of 8 mm. Typical porosity is 70–90%. Because the pores are independent and sealed, an open-cell-rate value does not apply. These parameters help users compare cellular geometry, structural behavior and integration requirements.

The isolated-cell structure can support energy-absorption studies, impact-buffering components, sound-insulation panels, lightweight sandwich structures and electromagnetic-shielding evaluations. The sheet can also be integrated into test fixtures, protective housings, layered assemblies and cut-to-fit research components where a non-translucent metallic cellular medium is preferred.

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.

Independent sealed pores create a non-translucent metallic cellular structure.
The closed-cell geometry is suited to energy absorption, impact buffering and lightweight panel use.
A lightweight aluminum-alloy framework supports integration into structural and shielding prototypes.
70–90% (typical) porosity; an open-cell-rate value is not applicable to the sealed-cell configuration.

Application Scope

Suitable for porous-metal research, energy-absorption and impact-buffering studies, sound-insulation assemblies, lightweight structural panels, electromagnetic-shielding evaluations and laboratory fixtures that require an independent closed-cell medium. The sheet can also be evaluated as a protective insert, sandwich-panel core, enclosure component or cut-to-fit part 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.

What is the typical porosity range of the Atomfair AF-C56-10-T08 closed-cell aluminum foam and how does it influence its mechanical properties?

The typical porosity is 70–90%. This high porosity makes the sheet lightweight while the closed-cell structure provides energy absorption and impact buffering capabilities suitable for research prototypes and lightweight structural panels.

Can this closed-cell aluminum foam be used for electromagnetic shielding evaluations?

Yes, the non-translucent closed-cell metallic structure is suitable for electromagnetic-shielding evaluations as stated in the application scope. The 100×100×8 mm sheet can be integrated into test fixtures or protective housings for shielding studies.

What are the recommended storage and handling procedures for Atomfair closed-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 package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

Assessment

This closed-cell aluminum foam sheet (100×100×8 mm, 5–6 mm pore size) exhibits 70–90% porosity in a sealed-cell geometry, yielding a non-translucent, lightweight cellular medium suited for energy absorption, impact buffering, sound insulation, and electromagnetic-shielding prototypes. The independent closed pores preclude open-cell functions such as fluid flow, and the brittle cellular framework demands careful handling to avoid crushing or contamination.

Positive

High porosity with sealed cells: The 70–90% porosity combined with independent closed pores provides a low-density metallic structure that supports energy absorption and impact-buffering applications while maintaining a non-translucent, rigid cellular body.
Lightweight structural integration: The aluminum-alloy framework with 5–6 mm pores and 8 mm thickness enables use as a lightweight core in sandwich panels, enclosures, or cut-to-fit shielding components without adding significant mass.

Trade-offs

Fragile cellular surface: The foam structure is susceptible to heavy impact, crushing, and contamination; storage in a clean, dry area and protective handling are required before cutting, bonding, or installation.
Closed-pore excludes open-cell uses: Because the pores are independent and sealed, the open-cell rate is not applicable, so the material cannot be used for filtration, wicking, or any application requiring through-porosity.
