PAHD-XR1 5052 Corrugated Aluminum Honeycomb

Product catalog summary
Description: PAHD-XR1 5052 corrugated aluminum honeycomb is a high-density core material made from 5052 aluminum alloy foil. It offers superior strength compared to expanded aluminum honeycomb and can be tested according to customer requirements.
Applications: This honeycomb is used in engine nacelles, roll-formed applications, energy absorption, anchor points, and reinforcements, particularly where lightweight and high-strength materials are needed. It is suitable for applications requiring high compression and shear values.
Availability: Available in untrimmed sheets, cut-to-size sheets, and machined components. Density varies with cell size and configuration, with cell sizes ranging from 1/8" to 3/16" and densities from 14.5 pcf to 55.0 pcf. Typical sheet dimensions are 36" in length and 30" in width, with specific tolerances.
Features: The honeycomb features elevated use temperatures, high thermal conductivity, flame resistance, excellent moisture and corrosion resistance, fungi resistance, high strength, machinability, and roll formability. The chromated XR1 coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, meeting AMS C7438 CL2 standards.
Cell Configurations: Available configurations include Standard Hexagonal (STD), Bisected Hexagonal (R2), Bisected Staggered (R2S[DG]), Reinforced Bisected Staggered (2R2S), and R2S-Cross for multi-axis strength.
Specifications: The honeycomb is specified by material, density, cell size, foil thickness, perforation, alloy, corrosion class, construction, and cell configuration. An example specification is PAHD-XR1-22.1-1/8-5052-STD.
Mechanical Properties: Typical mechanical properties include compressive strength, flexural shear strength in both "L" and "W" directions, and crush strength, varying with cell size and configuration. For example, a 1/8" STD configuration with a nominal density of 14.5 lb/ft³ has a compressive strength of 2900 psi bare and 3000 psi stabilized.
