Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 3–4 mm Pore Size, 200 × 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 3–4 mm pore-size range, a finished sheet size of 200 × 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 200 × 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 environment to prevent contamination and pore blockage. Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during handling and storage.

  • Storage Environment: Store in a clean, dry area to avoid moisture-induced oxidation or contamination.
  • Mechanical Protection: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to preserve pore structure.
  • Pre-Use Inspection: Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

How does the open-cell rate of 55–65% affect the performance of Atomfair AF-O34-20-T05 aluminum foam in heat transfer applications compared to porosity alone?

The open-cell rate indicates the proportion of pores that are interconnected, directly influencing fluid permeability and convective heat transfer. While porosity (70–90%) measures total void volume, the 55–65% open-cell rate ensures continuous passages for airflow or liquid flow through the metallic cellular structure, which is critical for heat dissipation studies. The source specifies that the interconnected open-pore network supports heat-transfer and heat-dissipation applications.

What are the recommended methods for bonding or integrating the 200×200×5 mm aluminum foam sheet into a layered assembly or test fixture?

The product description advises protecting the cellular surface from heavy impact and contamination, and suggests confirming the mounting method before installation. For integration, the rigid aluminum-alloy framework can be cut to fit, but specific bonding agents are not stated; users should consider mechanical clamping or epoxy designed for porous metals, and consult the engineering sales team for application-specific guidance.

What storage and handling precautions are necessary to prevent deformation or contamination of the open-cell aluminum foam sheets?

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. These precautions are directly from the product's handling and inspection section.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet (3–4 mm pore size, 200 × 200 × 5 mm) provides a rigid, lightweight porous medium with interconnected passages suitable for heat-transfer, filtration, acoustic, and light-transmission studies. The 70–90% porosity and 55–65% open-cell rate define its flow and surface-area trade-offs for lab integration.

Positive

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

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to crushing and contamination: The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact and contamination during storage and handling; any deformation or blockage of the open pores will compromise flow uniformity and experimental reproducibility.
  • Fixed sheet dimensions limit direct fit: The standard 200 × 200 × 5 mm format may not match all experimental setups; dimensional customization requires consultation and feasibility review, adding lead time for non-standard configurations.
