  1. Aluminum Honeycomb Core – Everything You Need to Know When the aluminum honeycomb core was introduced several decades ago, it immediately became popular in the aerospace industry for its robust structure. Panels that feature it are made from low- cost and soft materials that won’t compromise cost-efficiency. It’s still made in the same manner for construction purposes, with machine-applied aerospace-grade epoxy adhesive on the aluminum foil in specific order and frequency. The foils are stacked and hot-pressed to create a block. Then, the honeycomb slices are cut from the block. After expansion, the honeycomb core is made. If you’re considering aluminum honeycomb core for your next design or project, it helps to know everything about it. That way, you can decide if it’s the best material for your needs. Here are other things to know about it: Structure The Aluminum honeycomb core is composed of hexagonal hollow cells created between thin vertical aluminum foil. The honeycomb geometry ensures an optimum strength-to-weight ratio. That’s why it’s used often in the aerospace industry. The building sector appreciates it as a lightweight and large- format composite material. Different ranges are available Depending on the supplier, you can find two ranges of aluminum honeycomb core sheets, categorized according to cell size. That’s regular and micron-aperture. By definition, any cell size that is equal to or less than 1/5” is micro-aperture is perfect for machinery, lighting, and filters. Conversely, a cell size that is over 1/5” is a regular core, which is practical for marine, transportation, construction, and interior fit-out applications. Categories

  2. You can find aluminum honeycomb core in different categories to suit every application. The options include unexpanded slices, raw blocks, and fully expanded cores. Regardless of your choice, it should satisfy your requirements; for honeycomb aluminum sheets and ACM metal panels. And because it is lightweight and very rigid, making it practical for many other applications, too. More benefits Despite being lightweight with a low density, the aluminum honeycomb core is outstandingly rigid and sturdy, with good vibration damping properties and impact resistance. It also insulates heat and sound well because of its structure. Be sure to get the material from a reputable source that can craft it based on stringent international standards. Consider a source that applies ISO 9001 at each production area in the factory, with an in- house quality control team to ensure perfect materials.
