Aluminum honeycomb

for the aerospace industry

Toray’s aluminum aerospace grade honeycomb core is available in corrosion resistant 5052 and 5056 alloys. Designed predominately for use in sandwich structures to produce highly engineered structural components. In particular, the material offers the designer high strength-to-weight properties at relatively low cost, aluminum honeycomb is particularly suitable as a shear carrying core in adhesive bonded sandwich panel assemblies. Typical sandwich panel applications include: > Commercial aircraft flooring > Space and satellite components > Aircraft leading and trailing edges > Helicopter rotor blades > Fan casings Product benefits/features High strength-to-weight ratio Corrosion resistant Easily machined and formed Cut to customer thickness specification Market segments Sport & Recreation Space & Satellite Motorsport & Formula 1 Automotive Medical Aircraft Interiors Aerostructures
