Aluminum honeycomb is a unique building material characterized by its internal honeycomb structure. This structure consists of hollow hexagonal columns arranged tightly together, resembling a beehive. The typical configuration of an aluminum honeycomb panel involves an aluminum honeycomb core sandwiched between two aluminum face plates, bonded with a special adhesive.
Thanks to its honeycomb design, aluminum honeycomb boasts several advantages, including high rigidity, lightweight, and excellent flatness without distortion.
Aluminum honeycomb is employed in various applications where reducing weight without compromising rigidity and strength is crucial. In architecture, it's used for roofs, eaves, walls, and seawalls. It finds applications in containers, transport pallets, surface plates, robot covers, and equipment cases in the industrial and transportation sectors
Due to its vibration and shock absorption properties, aluminum honeycombs are also used in flooring, bulkheads, and doors. They are integral to vehicles, aircraft, and rocket and satellite fuselages.
