Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 3–4 mm Pore Size, 100 × 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 100 × 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 100 × 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.

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area away from contaminants. Protect the cellular structure from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during handling and storage.

  • Pre-Use Inspection: Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.
  • Storage Conditions: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent moisture and particulate contamination.
  • Mechanical Protection: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact and crushing to maintain structural integrity.
  • Compatibility Considerations: Confirm the intended medium, mounting method, and surrounding operating conditions before integration.
  • Pre-Order Verification: Verify the required pore-size range, porosity, sheet dimensions, thickness, and quantity before ordering to ensure compatibility with the intended application.

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

The typical porosity is 70–90% and the open-cell rate is 55–65%. These parameters indicate a high internal surface area with continuous open passages, which supports convective heat transfer and fluid flow. The interconnected pore network allows air or liquid to pass through, making it suitable for heat dissipation studies.

Can this aluminum foam be used for both gas filtration and light-transmitting structures?

Yes, the source lists both gas or liquid filtration assemblies and light-transmitting structures as typical applications. The open-cell structure with 3–4 mm pores allows passage of gases and liquids while also transmitting light due to its translucent nature. However, the exact filtration efficiency and light transmission percentage are not specified.

What precautions should be taken when handling and storing this open-cell aluminum foam, and can custom dimensions be ordered?

The sheets should be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to preserve the cellular structure. Custom dimensions are available upon consultation; contact the engineering sales team with target length, width, thickness, pore-size range, and quantity for a feasibility review.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet (3–4 mm pore size, 100 × 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 control, and light-transmitting laboratory studies.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The continuous open passages through the metallic cellular structure enable airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission, supporting heat-dissipation, filtration, and acoustic-control experiments.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The aluminum-alloy cellular sheet provides a rigid porous medium that is easy to integrate into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and cut-to-fit research components without excessive weight.

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to crushing and contamination: The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact and contamination during storage and handling to maintain pore structure integrity and experimental reproducibility.
  • Requires operating environment verification: The intended medium, mounting method, and surrounding conditions must be confirmed before deployment, as the aluminum framework may not be compatible with all chemical or thermal environments.
