ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB CORES – KC PANELS

Aluminum honeycomb core were firstly applied in aerospace industry several
decades ago. It is a very strong structure made from soft and relatively
low-price material to achieve best cost efficiency. The aerospace-grade epoxy
adhesive is applied uniformly onto aluminum foil in designated order and
frequency by machine, and the foils will be stacked and hot pressed to form a
block. Honeycomb slices will then be cut from the block and after fully
expanded, the aluminum honeycomb core is made.


HONEYCOMB ALUMINUM SHEET

KCP offers two ranges of aluminum honeycomb core categorized by its cell size –
micron-aperture aluminum honeycomb core and regular aluminum honeycomb core. By
definition, cell sizes that are equivalent or under 1/5” is called
micro-aperture core, which are used for lighting, machinery, filter etc. While
for the cell sizes that are above 1/5” is called regular core, which is ideal
for uses of construction, interior fit-out, transportation, marine, etc.

According to different applications, KCP offers below category for aluminum
honeycomb core:

 * Raw blocks
 * Unexpanded slices
 * Fully expanded aluminum honeycomb core

The aluminum honeycomb core is one of the best options for core material of ACM
metal panels and honeycomb aluminum sheets. Its lightweight feature and high
rigidity also makes it to be widely applied in many other applications.

THE STURCTURE

Aluminum honeycomb core is an array of hexagonal hollow cells formed between
thin vertical aluminum foil. It has the geometry of honeycomb with purpose of
achieving highest strength-to-weight ratio. It has been widely used in aerospace
industry since 1950s and later on being introduced to the building sector for
lightweight and large-format composites material.

ROBUST STRUCTURE OF ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB CORES

Let’s delve deeper into the engineering nuances that make aluminum honeycomb
cores extraordinarily robust.

Aside from using aerospace-grade epoxy adhesive to ensure the core’s structural
integrity, we also have strict quality control processes in place to ensure the
flawless application of the adhesive onto the aluminum foil. Here at KCP, we use
state-of-the-art machinery to meticulously control the frequency, placement, and
thickness of the adhesive, guaranteeing a consistent bond throughout the core.
This uniformity is a cornerstone of the core’s resilience and structural
integrity.

Equally noteworthy is the precision with which the honeycomb slices are cut from
the hot-pressed block. Advanced laser cutting technology is employed to ensure
that the cellular structure remains perfectly aligned and intact, reducing any
chances of internal stress or weak points that might compromise the core’s
performance.


DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS

KCP offers two main types of cell sizes in its aluminum honeycomb cores:
micron-aperture and regular. The micron-aperture cores have smaller cell sizes
of 1/5″ or less, while the regular cores have larger cell sizes exceeding 1/5″.
This selection allows the cores to be customized for various applications and
specific mechanical needs.

You can choose from three different forms of aluminum honeycomb core: raw
blocks, slices that haven’t yet been expanded, and fully expanded cores. This
range of options gives you the flexibility to pick the form that best suits your
project.

Structurally, the aluminum honeycomb core is made up of a series of hexagonal
hollow cells. These are formed between thin layers of vertical aluminum foil. An
aerospace-grade epoxy adhesive is used to bond these cells securely, creating a
strong and durable structure.

The thickness of the aluminum foil and the shape of the honeycomb cells can be
adjusted based on the project’s needs. For the best results, it’s advisable to
consult with KCP to explore the available options for thickness and cell
geometry.


APPLICATIONS HIGHLIGHTING THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB CORES

Beyond aerospace and construction, the advantages of KCP’s aluminum honeycomb
panels extend to various other sectors.

 * In the automotive industry, these cores are used in energy absorption systems
   and body panel structures. Their lightweight yet sturdy construction makes
   them ideal for decreasing overall vehicle weight, thereby contributing to
   fuel efficiency.

 * In renewable energy, our cores find applications in wind turbine blades. The
   low weight and high rigidity of the cores make them particularly effective
   for this purpose, allowing for blades that can withstand high wind pressures
   while still being relatively easy to install and maintain.

 * For marine applications, the corrosion-resistant nature of aluminum, coupled
   with the structural benefits of the honeycomb core, makes these products
   ideal for use in ship hulls and other maritime structures. The buoyancy
   provided by the honeycomb structure adds an extra layer of safety, ensuring
   that even if the outer shell is compromised, the core can provide adequate
   floatation to prevent sinking.

 * In the consumer electronics sector, these cores are starting to gain traction
   in building lightweight and durable chassis for laptops and other portable
   devices. The exceptional heat dissipation qualities of the aluminum honeycomb
   structure make it an excellent choice for gadgets that require effective
   thermal management.

KCP’s aluminum honeycomb cores offer not just exceptional mechanical properties
but also a high degree of versatility, opening up a wide range of application
possibilities. You can count on their ability to stand up to the challenges of
the modern world.
