Corrosion-Resistant 3000 Series
Aluminum Honeycomb Panels
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: Not Rated
A honeycomb core is bonded between two aluminum sheets for rigidity. These panels offer a higher strength-to-weight ratio than solid sheets, so they're often used as a lightweight alternative to solid aluminum. They're also used for sound insulation. They are painted white and covered with a protective peel-off film. 3000 series aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability.

Easy-to-Machine Aluminum-Nitride
Ceramic Sheets and Bars
- Color: Beige
- Max. Temperature: 3,400° F
- Fabrication: Hot Rolled, Sintered
- Electrical Properties: Electrical Insulating
- Dielectric Strength: 165 V/mil
- Porosity: 0%
- Compressive Strength: 140,000 psi
Drill, turn, and mill this aluminum-nitride ceramic. Containing boron nitride, it’s easier to machine than pure aluminum nitride while still conducting heat and insulating electricity. Also known as Shapal or Shapal Hi-M, it’s often compared to Macor, which is also machinable but is a thermal insulator. Use this material to dissipate heat in extremely hot areas and to make electronic, semiconductor, and vacuum components. It’s more thermally stable than alumina, meaning it keeps its shape better after heat swings. However, it’s not as stable as Mullite.
