Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 2–3 mm Pore Size, 100 × 100 × 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 2–3 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 100 × 100 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 100 × 100 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 sheets in a clean, dry area away from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. Protect the cellular surface to maintain pore structure integrity and prevent deformation before use.

  • Pore structure protection: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to preserve the open-cell structure.
  • Dry storage requirement: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent moisture-related degradation or contamination.
  • Impact avoidance: Avoid heavy impact or crushing forces that could collapse the porous network.
  • Pre-use inspection: Check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

Inspect the package, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure upon delivery. Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent damage before cutting, bonding, or installing.

  1. Inspect package
    Inspect the package for signs of damage or contamination upon delivery.
  2. Verify dimensions
    Verify sheet dimensions against the specified length, width, and thickness.
  3. Examine pore structure
    Examine the visible pore structure for uniformity and any crushed areas.
  4. Store properly
    Store the sheets in a clean, dry area protected from heavy impact and crushing.

How do the porosity and open-cell rate of this open-cell aluminum foam influence its suitability for heat transfer applications?

The typical porosity of 70–90% provides a high internal surface area, while the 55–65% open-cell rate ensures continuous passages for fluid flow. These parameters make the foam suitable for heat dissipation studies, as the interconnected pore network supports airflow and heat exchange.

Can this aluminum foam be customized to different dimensions for specific experimental setups?

Yes, the standard sheet size is 100 × 100 × 6 mm, but custom dimensions are available upon consultation. The manufacturer requests the target length, width, thickness, pore-size range, and estimated quantity for a dimensional feasibility review.

What storage and handling precautions are recommended for this open-cell aluminum foam?

The sheets should be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. After delivery, inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

Open-cell aluminum foam sheet (100×100×6 mm, 2-3 mm pore size) provides a lightweight, rigid porous medium with interconnected passages for heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies; typical porosity 70-90% and open-cell rate 55-65% define the trade-off between flow continuity and structural integrity.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The continuous passages through the metallic cellular structure support airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission, enabling use in heat-dissipation, filtration, and acoustic-control experiments.
  • Lightweight aluminum-alloy framework: The rigid porous medium is easy to integrate into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and prototype housings without adding significant mass to the setup.

Trade-offs

  • Moderate open-cell rate (55-65%): Only a portion of the pores are fully open, which may limit effective permeability and require careful evaluation when designing flow or filtration experiments.
  • Susceptible to crushing and contamination: The cellular surface must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact or crushing to maintain pore geometry and avoid contamination of experimental media.
