Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 2–3 mm Pore Size, 100 × 200 × 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 2–3 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 100 × 200 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 × 200 mm format does not match the planned installation, prototype or experimental setup.

  • The open geometry supports airflow, fluid passage and light transmission through the sheet.
  • A lightweight aluminum-alloy framework provides a rigid porous medium for laboratory integration.
  • 70–90% (typical) porosity and 55–65% (typical) open-cell rate.
  • Available in 5-piece and 10-piece package quantities.
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 aluminum foam sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination and moisture absorption. Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and deformation during handling and storage.

  • Storage and Handling Requirement: Store in a clean, dry environment and avoid mechanical damage to the open-cell structure.

How do the porosity and open-cell rate of this aluminum foam affect its performance for heat dissipation and filtration?

The typical porosity of 70–90% and open-cell rate of 55–65% define the material's internal volume and interconnected passage continuity. This combination supports high internal surface area for heat exchange and allows fluid or gas flow through the sheet, making it suitable for heat-transfer and filtration studies. The 2–3 mm pore size further influences flow resistance and surface-contact behavior, dictating its effectiveness in specific thermal or filtration applications.

What integration constraints must be considered when using this 100 × 200 × 5 mm aluminum foam sheet in a custom test fixture or filtration assembly?

The sheet is a rigid, lightweight aluminum-alloy cellular structure with a fixed 100 × 200 mm footprint and 5 mm thickness, so mounting and sealing must accommodate its open-pore edges without crushing the cell walls. The interconnected porous network allows airflow and light transmission, but the intended medium, mounting method, and surrounding operating conditions must be verified against the specified pore size and thickness before assembly. Dimensional customization is available upon consultation, but the standard format requires confirmation that the length, width, and thickness match the planned installation or prototype.

What storage and handling precautions are necessary to preserve the structural integrity of this open-cell aluminum foam?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to prevent deformation or blockage of the open pores. After delivery, inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material. The foam is lightweight but its open-cell network is mechanically sensitive, so careful handling is essential to maintain the 2–3 mm pore structure and 5 mm thickness.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet with 2–3 mm pores and 5 mm thickness offers a lightweight, rigid porous medium for heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies, but requires careful handling and is limited to applications compatible with its pore size and aluminum alloy.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: Porosity of 70–90% and open-cell rate of 55–65% provide continuous passages for airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission, enabling versatile use in heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic experiments.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The aluminum-alloy cellular structure is both lightweight and rigid, facilitating easy integration into test fixtures, prototype assemblies, and cut-to-fit research components.

Trade-offs

  • Limited pore size range: The 2–3 mm pore size and 5 mm thickness restrict use in high-pressure filtration or fine particle separation, where smaller pores are required.
  • Handling and environmental sensitivity: The aluminum alloy may corrode in certain chemical environments; storage in a clean, dry area is required to avoid contamination and impact damage to the cellular structure.
