| Product Name | Aluminum Foam, Foamed Aluminum, Porous Aluminium Panel |
| Cell Structure | Closed-cell (most common – for structural, energy absorption, insulation)Open-cell (for filtration, sound absorption, heat exchange) |
| Base Alloy | Pure Al (1060, 1100), 6061, 6101-T6, Al-Si alloys |
| Porosity | 40% – 95% (typical: 60% – 90%)• Low porosity (40-60%): higher strength, structural use• Medium porosity (60-80%): balanced performance, most versatile• High porosity (80-95%): ultra-lightweight, acoustic/thermal use |
| Pore Size | 0.5mm – 10mm (common: 1mm – 5mm); uniform or gradient distribution available |
| Bulk Density | 0.20 – 1.10 g/cm³ (1/13 to 1/2.5 of solid aluminum) |
| Panel Dimensions | Thickness: 5mm – 100mmLength / Width: up to 2000mm × 1000mm (standard sheets); custom cutting available |
| Mechanical Properties | Compressive Strength: 1 – 20 MPa (density-dependent)Bending Strength: 2 – 15 MPaEnergy Absorption: excellent – ideal for impact protection & crashworthiness |
| Key Functional Properties | Sound Absorption: NRC 0.4 – 0.9 (open-cell type superior)Thermal Conductivity: 0.5 – 8 W/(m·K) (insulating at high porosity)EMI Shielding: 40 – 90 dBFire Rating: Class A1 (non-combustible)Corrosion Resistance: good, suitable for outdoor use |
