Porous Aluminum may look strange, but it has its share of useful applications. Consisting of multiple pores, it is ultra-lightweight, rigid, and boasts excellent shock absorption.

Furthermore, this material is ideal for heat dissipation. Porous aluminum cools more effectively than traditional thermal cooling methods. In addition, it has applications as a filter for water treatment using polyethylene.

The electronic equipment industry and the semiconductor industry are also required to take measures against heat due to the miniaturization of equipment and the sophistication of performance. The importance of heat measures can be divided into the fields of machinery, function, and safety. Thermal design and countermeasures are becoming important factors in maintaining product value in all fields.

Using porous aluminum as a heat exchanger can take advantage of its high specific surface area. Also, it can provide functions such as damping, sound absorption, thermal insulation, and heat dissipation.

For the future of electronics cooling, porous aluminum could prove to be quite useful as the size of electronics devices is expected to decrease over time.

Customizable Porous Aluminum Material

SAKAE Casting offers this unique Porous Aluminum material, taking into account different, shapes, sizes, and porosity levels.

Traditional conventional porous materials are brittle and deteriorate with repeated use and must be replaced regularly.
However, porous aluminum manufactured by SAKAE Casting is more durable.


Currently, we have an ongoing development project to control the holes in porous aluminum. At the moment, the density can be controlled up to 80%. Since this density has a large effect depending on the intended use, we are testing different densities further.

We offer this material in Cylinder and Rectangular plate shapes. It is still in development phase. Different kinds of shapes are still possible. Please feel free to inquire.
