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.
