PAMG-XR1 5052 Aluminum Honeycomb

Description:
PAMG-XR1 5052 aerospace grade aluminum honeycomb is a lightweight core material which offers superior strength and corrosion resistance over commercial grade aluminum honeycomb. PAMG-XR1 5052 honeycomb is made from 5052 aluminum alloy foil and meets all the requirements of MIL-C-7438.

Applications:
PAMG-XR1 5052 honeycomb uses include aircraft floors, aircraft leading and trailing edges, missile wings, fan casings, fuel cells, fuselage components, helicopter rotor blades and navy bulkhead joiner panels, energy absorption, air/light directionalization and EMI/RFI shielding. PAMG-XR1 5052 honeycomb is suitable for applications where materials conforming to MIL-C-7438 are required.

Features:
Elevated use temperatures High thermal conductivity Flame resistant Excellent moisture and corrosion resistance Fungi resistant Low weight / High strength

Availability:
PAMG-XR1 5052 honeycomb is available in four forms: unexpanded blocks, unexpanded slices, untrimmed expanded sheets and cut to size expanded sheets. It is also available with or without cell perforations to facilitate cell venting for certain applications. Cell Sizes: Densities: Sheet Ribbon (L): Sheet Transverse (W): Tolerances: 1/8" - 3/8" 1.0 pcf - 8.1 pcf 48" typical 96" typical Length: Width: Thickness: Density: Cell Size: + 6", - 0" + 6", - 0" .005" (under 4" thick) 10% 10%

NOTE:

Special dimensions, sizes, tolerances, CNC machining and die cut to size can be provided upon request.
