Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 3–4 mm Pore Size, 100 × 200 × 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 3–4 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 100 × 200 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 × 200 mm format does not match the planned installation, prototype or experimental setup.

  • 100 × 200 mm finished sheet size and 8 mm nominal thickness.
  • Interconnected pores provide continuous passages through the metallic cellular structure.
  • 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, protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. Inspect package condition, dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

  • Storage Environment: Maintain a clean, dry storage environment to prevent contamination and mechanical damage to the cellular structure.
  • Pre-Processing Inspection: Verify the sheet dimensions, pore structure, and package integrity before any cutting, bonding, or installation procedure.
  • Impact Protection: Protect the foam surface from heavy impact, crushing loads, and particulate contamination during handling and storage.

What is the typical open-cell rate of Atomfair AF-O34-12-T08 aluminum foam and why does it matter?

The typical open-cell rate is 55–65%. This indicates the proportion of pores that are interconnected, which directly affects fluid permeability and surface area for heat transfer or filtration applications.

Can this open-cell aluminum foam sheet be cut or machined to custom dimensions?

Yes, the sheet can be cut to fit specific experimental setups. The product description notes that dimensional customization is available upon consultation, and the sheet is intended for cut-to-fit research components. However, care must be taken to avoid crushing the cellular structure during cutting.

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

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.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet (3–4 mm pore size, 100 × 200 × 8 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-transmission studies. The lightweight aluminum-alloy framework facilitates integration into test fixtures and prototype assemblies, but the cellular structure is susceptible to crushing under heavy impact and requires clean, dry storage to prevent contamination.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The continuous open passages through the metallic cellular structure enable airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission, supporting heat-transfer, filtration, and acoustic-control experiments.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The foamed aluminum alloy provides a rigid porous medium that is easy to integrate into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and prototype housings without adding significant weight.

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to crushing under impact: The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact and crushing forces, as the open-cell structure can deform or collapse under mechanical stress.
  • Requires clean, dry storage conditions: Sheets must be stored in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination of the porous network, which could compromise performance in filtration or flow-distribution applications.
