Aluminum honeycomb

for aeronautics

The aluminum honeycomb is light, resistant to compression and cuts, has excellent fire reaction (incombustibility) performaces and resists to corrosion, mould and it is recyclable. Aluminium honeycomb as panels’ core has several advantages: lightweight stiffness good fire reaction compression, shear and corrosion resistance flatness Thickness of non-expanded Blocks: 1000mm standard, the diameter of the cells from 3 to 25 mm. The density of the honeycomb depends on the thickness of the foil and the diameter of the cells. Thickness of expanded section from 3mm to 60 / 200mm approx. (depending on the cell diameter). Honeycomb density (from 20 to 163 kg/m3) depends on foil’s thickness and on cell size. APPLICATIONS As core material, aluminium honeycomb is used in sandwich panels and it is utilised in: floors, roofs, doors, partitions, facades, working surfaces for automatic machines, laser jet cutting and for all products which require an optimal stiffness-to-weight-ratio. Aluminium honeycomb is used for several of applications (i.e. for tool machines, for serigraphy..etc.) and in different sectors such as: public transport industry,nautical sector, building industry, etc... It is used as deflector for laminar flow-ventilation, and as crash-absorber for kinetic energy.
