Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 3–4 mm Pore Size, 200 × 200 × 6 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 3–4 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 200 × 200 mm and a nominal thickness of 6 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.

What is the typical open-cell rate and porosity of this aluminum foam, and how do these parameters influence its suitability for heat transfer versus filtration applications?

The typical open-cell rate is 55–65% and porosity is 70–90%. The interconnected open-pore network with continuous passages supports both airflow and fluid passage, making it suitable for heat dissipation studies as well as gas or liquid filtration assemblies. The specific balance between porosity and open-cell rate affects flow resistance and surface area, guiding application-specific selection.

Can this 6 mm thick aluminum foam sheet be integrated into layered assemblies or test fixtures without additional support?

Yes, the rigid aluminum-alloy framework provides a self-supporting porous medium that can be integrated into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and prototype housings. The 200 × 200 × 6 mm sheet size is designed for cut-to-fit research components, and dimensional customization is available upon consultation if the standard format does not match the planned setup.

What storage and handling precautions are recommended for open-cell aluminum foam sheets to maintain structural integrity?

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 to ensure the interconnected pore network remains intact.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet (3–4 mm pore size, 200 × 200 × 6 mm) provides a rigid, interconnected porous medium with typical porosity of 70–90% and open-cell rate of 55–65%, suitable for heat-transfer, filtration, acoustic, and light-transmission studies. The lightweight aluminum-alloy framework enables easy integration into test fixtures, but the cellular structure is vulnerable to crushing from heavy impact and requires clean, dry storage to avoid contamination.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The continuous open passages through the metallic cellular structure support airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission, enabling versatile use in heat-transfer, filtration, and acoustic experiments.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The foamed aluminum-alloy sheet provides a rigid porous medium that is easy to cut, bond, and integrate into laboratory fixtures and prototype assemblies without adding significant weight.

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to crushing damage: The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact and crushing forces during handling and storage to maintain structural integrity and pore geometry.
  • Requires clean dry storage: Sheets must be stored in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination of the open-pore network, which could compromise performance in filtration or flow applications.
