Toray Aluminum Honeycomb Core—Aerospace Grade
- Chemical Family
- Aluminum Compounds
Toray’s aluminum aerospace (AAA) 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 adhesively bonded sandwich panel assemblies.
