Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 5–6 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 5–6 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.

  • 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 open-cell aluminum foam sheets in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and degradation. Protect the cellular structure from heavy impact, crushing, and physical damage during handling, and inspect the material before cutting or bonding.

  • Storage Environment: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination of the porous structure.
  • Physical Protection: Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to avoid structural damage.
  • Pre-Installation Inspection: Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.
  • Compatibility Check: Consider the intended medium, mounting method, and surrounding operating conditions to ensure suitability for the application.

How do the typical porosity (70–90%) and open-cell rate (55–65%) of this aluminum foam affect its performance in fluid flow or filtration applications?

Porosity indicates the total void fraction, while open-cell rate specifies the proportion of interconnected pores that allow fluid passage. Higher porosity generally increases permeability but reduces mechanical strength; the provided ranges allow balancing flow capacity with structural integrity for laboratory evaluation.

Can this 100×100×8 mm open-cell aluminum foam sheet be cut or machined to fit custom experimental fixtures?

Yes, the sheet can be cut to custom dimensions, but care must be taken to avoid crushing or contaminating the cellular structure. The manufacturer recommends protecting the surface from heavy impact and contamination during cutting, bonding, or installation.

What storage conditions are required to preserve the integrity of the open-cell aluminum foam before use?

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 handling.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet (100 × 100 × 8 mm, 5–6 mm pore size) provides a rigid, interconnected porous medium with 70–90% typical porosity and 55–65% open-cell rate, suitable for heat-transfer, filtration, acoustic, and light-transmission experiments. The 8 mm thickness and 100 × 100 mm footprint define its integration envelope, while the 5–6 mm pore range sets the flow and surface-contact characteristics for lab-scale evaluation.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The 55–65% typical open-cell rate with interconnected pores provides continuous passages through the metallic structure, enabling unimpeded airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission for heat-transfer, filtration, and acoustic studies.
  • Rigid lightweight aluminum framework: The foamed aluminum-alloy cellular structure offers a rigid, cut-to-fit porous medium that integrates into test fixtures, layered assemblies, and prototype housings without requiring additional structural support.

Trade-offs

  • Impact and crush sensitivity: The cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during storage and handling, as the open-cell structure is mechanically vulnerable to deformation that would alter pore geometry and flow characteristics.
  • Fixed sheet dimensions and pore range: The standard 100 × 100 × 8 mm format with 5–6 mm pores constrains direct integration; dimensional customization requires consultation and feasibility review, and the 70–90% porosity range is typical rather than guaranteed per sheet.
