Description: Aluminum Wire Mesh is a lightweight option, weighing approximately one-third of its stainless-steel counterpart. It is also resistant to corrosion in most environments, except in the presence of alkaline solutions and hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. With an estimated melting point of 1,218°F, aluminum has many benefits, including being relatively low-cost when compared to other meshes. Aluminum woven wire mesh is a popular choice for a wide range of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and electrical conductivity.

Description: Aluminum honeycomb is a lightweight material used mainly as a core for sandwich structures that carry shear loads. The honeycomb structure divides the air layer between the composite panels into numerous cells, which restricts the movement of air and prevents the propagation of heat and sound waves. As a result, honeycomb boards are great for insulation and soundproofing. When used in bonded composite sandwich panels, the material’s high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance make it ideal for doors, floors, furniture, galley and sanitary modules, interior panel partitions, and energy absorbers.
Applications: Aluminum Honeycombs are versatile materials widely used in various applications such as building curtain wall exterior wall cladding, interior decoration projects, billboards, shipbuilding, aviation manufacturing, indoor partitions, commodity display stands, commercial transport vehicles, container trucks, buses, trains, subways, and rail vehicles. These panels offer a lightweight yet durable solution for architectural and transportation industries, providing aesthetic appeal, structural integrity, and functional versatility across a range of construction and design projects.
