Corrosion-Resistant 3000 Series Aluminum Honeycomb Cores
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: Not Rated
The honeycomb design provides a higher strength-to-weight ratio than solid sheets. These cores are often used as a lightweight alternative to solid aluminum and also for sound insulation. 3000 series aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability.

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.

Composite Fiber Aluminum Honeycomb Panels
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: Not Rated
An aluminum honeycomb core sandwiched between carbon fiber keeps these sheets strong yet lightweight. The carbon fiber facing gives you the same strength as a honeycomb panel that's entirely made from aluminum but without the weight. Compared to aramid honeycomb panels, these panels have better shear strength. These panels are often used in the automotive and aerospace industry in place of solid aluminum sheets thanks to their high strength-to-weight ratio.
