Building Material: What is Aluminum Honeycomb Core?
the aluminium honeycomb core is a building material which is used in a wide variety of applications worldwide. It is highly desirable due to its incredibly high strength-to-weight ratio and is applicable wherever lightness and strength are required. We supply high-quality aluminium honeycomb to global markets including the Aerospace, Marine, Defence, Rail and Automotive industries.
Why use Aluminum?
It has several benefits
√ It is light-weight – 1/3 the weight of steel √ it is strong, corrosion-resistant and a good conductor of heat and electricity √ 100% recyclable, without any loss of its natural qualities √ it is easy to shape, form and fabricate √ Aluminum does not burn – it melts at 650 degrees centigrade √ When alloyed with another metal like Silicon or Magnesium, it can be stronger than Steel
Tips on how to expand our aluminum honeycomb by hand:
Two people are required, wearing cut-resistant gloves, with each person gripping opposite ends of the unexpanded core. Expand the core by pulling it until the honeycomb reaches an even hexagonal shape
Always wear gloves when handling core as the product is sharp and will easily cause deep cuts.
Let me see, where is it used?
Aluminum honeycomb can be used in a virtually unlimited number of applications. Some of the most widespread applications are as follows:
Exterior architectural curtain wall panels low Straightening ( Air and Liquid)Heating and VentilationElectromagnetic shieldingSacrificial Beds (Laser and Waterjet)
