Open-Cell Aluminum Foam, 5–6 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 5–6 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 aluminum foam sheets in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and corrosion. Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and mechanical deformation during handling and storage.

  • Storage Environment: Maintain a clean, dry storage area to avoid moisture contamination and surface degradation.
  • Mechanical Protection: Avoid heavy impact, crushing, or compressive loads that could deform the open-cell structure.
  • Contamination Prevention: Keep the sheets away from dust, particulates, and chemical contaminants that may clog or alter the pore network.
  • Operating Environment Consideration: Assess the intended medium, mounting method, and surrounding conditions to ensure compatibility with the aluminum foam material.
  • Pre-Use Inspection: Inspect the sheets upon delivery for package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing.

What are the recommended storage and handling procedures for Atomfair open-cell aluminum foam sheets to maintain structural integrity?

Store the 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 the material.

Can the standard 200×200×5 mm sheet dimensions be customized for specific research setups?

Yes, custom dimensions are available upon consultation. Provide the target length, width, thickness, pore-size range, and estimated quantity to the engineering sales team for a dimensional feasibility review.

What is the significance of the 55–65% open-cell rate in relation to the 70–90% porosity for this aluminum foam?

Porosity (70–90% typical) measures the total void fraction, while open-cell rate (55–65% typical) indicates the proportion of pores that are interconnected and allow fluid or gas passage. The difference reflects the fraction of closed or dead-end pores, which affects permeability and surface area available for heat transfer or filtration.

This open-cell aluminum foam sheet (5–6 mm pore size, 200 × 200 × 5 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 supports integration into test fixtures and layered assemblies, but the cellular surface requires protection from heavy impact and contamination during handling and storage.

Positive

  • Interconnected open-pore network: The 5–6 mm pore size and 55–65% open-cell rate provide continuous passages for airflow, fluid passage, and light transmission, enabling multifunctional use in heat-transfer, filtration, and acoustic-control experiments.
  • Lightweight rigid aluminum framework: The foamed aluminum alloy sheet (200 × 200 × 5 mm) offers a stable, cut-to-fit porous medium that can be integrated into test fixtures, prototype housings, and layered assemblies without adding significant mass.

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to mechanical damage: The cellular surface is vulnerable to heavy impact, crushing, and contamination; storage in a clean, dry area and careful handling are required to preserve pore structure integrity.
  • Standard dimensions limit direct fit: The fixed 200 × 200 × 5 mm sheet size may not match all experimental setups; custom dimensions require consultation and feasibility review before ordering.
