Copper Foams For Sale
If you're looking to purchase copper foam, there are several options available depending on your specific needs and the application you have in mind. Below is a guide to help you find and evaluate copper foams for sale:
●1. Types of Copper Foam Available for Sale
A. OpenCell Copper Foam
Description: Features interconnected pores that allow fluid or gas flow through the material.
Applications: Heat exchangers, filtration systems, fuel cells, and battery electrodes.
Key Benefits: High surface area, excellent thermal conductivity, and good mechanical strength.
B. ClosedCell Copper Foam
Description: Has sealed pores, making it impermeable to fluids or gases.
Applications: Soundproofing, cushioning, and lightweight structural components.
Key Benefits: Lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture.
C. Electroplated Copper Foam
Description: Copper deposited onto a sacrificial template, creating a highly uniform porous structure.
Applications: Advanced thermal management, catalysis, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.
Key Benefits: Customizable porosity and high precision.
●2. Where to Buy Copper Foam
A. Online Suppliers
Alibaba: Offers a wide range of copper foam products from global manufacturers. Suitable for bulk orders.
Amazon: Provides smaller quantities of copper foam for hobbyists or experimental purposes.
eBay: A platform for finding both new and used copper foam products at competitive prices.
B. Specialty Material Suppliers

Advanced Energy Materials
●3. Factors to Consider When Buying Copper Foam
A. Porosity
OpenCell vs. ClosedCell: Choose based on whether permeability is required for your application.
Pore Size: Smaller pores increase surface area but may restrict fluid flow. Larger pores improve fluid dynamics but reduce surface area.
B. Thickness and Dimensions
Ensure the dimensions match your application requirements. Custom sizes are often available upon request.
C. Surface Treatment
Untreated Copper Foam: Ideal for generalpurpose applications.
Coated Copper Foam: Options include nickel, gold, or ceramic coatings to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, or electrical properties.
D. Conductivity Requirements
For thermal or electrical applications, ensure the copper foam meets your conductivity specifications.
E. Quantity
Bulk orders are typically more costeffective for industrial use, while smaller quantities are better suited for prototyping or testing.

●4. Pricing Considerations
A. Material Cost
Copper foam is generally more expensive than aluminum foam due to the higher cost of copper.
B. Manufacturing Process
Techniques like electrodeposition or 3D printing can increase production costs but offer superior quality and customization.
C. Volume Discounts
Many suppliers offer discounts for larger orders, so consider purchasing in bulk if feasible.
D. Shipping and Handling
Factor in shipping costs, especially for international orders. Some suppliers may include free shipping for certain quantities.
●5. Sample Products Available for Purchase
