Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 2–3 mm Pore Size, 100 × 100 × 8 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 8 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.

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 area to prevent contamination. The cellular structure must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and physical damage during handling and installation.

  • Storage Environment: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent moisture and dirt contamination.
  • Impact Protection: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact to avoid structural deformation.
  • Crush Prevention: Avoid crushing forces that could collapse the open-cell network.
  • Contamination Control: Prevent contamination of the pore structure by foreign particles.
  • Pre-Installation Inspection: Check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing.

How does the 2–3 mm pore size and 70–90% porosity of this aluminum foam influence its suitability for heat dissipation studies?

The interconnected open-pore network with 2–3 mm pores and typical porosity of 70–90% provides high internal surface area and continuous passages for airflow, making it effective for heat-transfer and heat-dissipation experiments. The open-cell rate of 55–65% ensures a balance between structural rigidity and fluid permeability, as stated in the technical specifications.

Can this open-cell aluminum foam be integrated into a gas filtration assembly without additional surface treatment?

Yes, the foamed aluminum alloy with interconnected pores is suitable for gas filtration assemblies according to the application scope. However, the source does not specify surface treatment requirements; the material is provided as a cut cellular sheet, so integration may depend on the specific filtration medium and mounting method. Confirm compatibility with your operating environment before ordering.

What storage and handling precautions are required to maintain the structural integrity of this 8 mm thick aluminum foam sheet?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the cellular surface 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. The lightweight aluminum-alloy framework is rigid but the open-cell structure can be damaged by mechanical stress, as noted in the handling and inspection guidance.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet with 2-3 mm pore size, 70-90% porosity, and 55-65% open-cell rate provides a rigid, lightweight porous medium for heat transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies, but requires careful handling to avoid damage and the open-cell rate may limit uniformity in fully interconnected flow applications.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network with high porosity: The 2-3 mm pore size, 70-90% porosity, and 55-65% open-cell rate provide a continuous passage structure for fluid flow, heat transfer, and light transmission, supporting heat dissipation, filtration, and acoustic-control experiments.
  • Lightweight and machinable aluminum framework: The rigid yet lightweight aluminum-alloy cellular sheet can be cut, bonded, and integrated into test fixtures, layered assemblies, or prototype housings, offering flexibility for research and engineering applications.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to mechanical impact and contamination: The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during storage and handling to maintain pore geometry and structural integrity.
  • Limited open-cell rate may affect flow uniformity: With a typical open-cell rate of only 55-65%, up to 45% of cells may be closed, which could reduce effective permeability and require validation for applications demanding fully interconnected flow paths.
