Hi everyone,

I'm doing a uni project on manufacturing aluminium honeycomb sandwich panels, and have got to the point of how much the stuff costs.

So does anyone have any experience of the prices of these? As well as size of panel you bought/enquired about?

I'm going to ask the Formula Student guys tomorrow (and probably ring a few companies), but I need a consumer price rather than a discounted one, which is what the FS team will get.

And if anyone has any other sources of any info on the panels, the more I can include the better. Especially on the construction of the honeycomb mesh.

Regards

James

Hi
We buy it from TRB

how much aluminium honeycomb will you need, I ask because the company I work for experimented with using it in an application and we got all our samples from china,... cheap.


u2u for more, I'll find out what I can

I've posted this acouple of times before, but I don't know if you've seen it. Some good detail on using honeycomb panels.

That report is really great.

Does anyone know what honey comb sandwich yo use in areas with high temps like exhaust area?
I know the IFR Aspid used them, and these sandwich panels could resist 120C
But the traditional ALUCORE panels are mostly like 70-80C
