(núcleo favo de mel em alumínio 5052)
Aluminum 5052 honeycomb core, known as núcleo de panal de aluminio 5052 in Spanish-speaking markets and nucleo a nido d'ape in alluminio 5052 in Italy, represents a 27% denser structural solution than standard 3003 alloy cores. With a typical cell size range of 3–25mm, this material achieves 68N/mm² shear strength while maintaining 0.72g/cm³ density – 19% lighter than comparable steel-based solutions.
The alloy's magnesium-chromium composition enables:
Third-party testing confirms 18kN/m crush resistance under ASTM C365 standards, outperforming polymer cores by 3:1 margin.
Vendor | Thickness (mm) | Density (kg/m³) | Price/m² | Lead Time |
---|---|---|---|---|
Alcore | 6–50 | 72–110 | $48–$210 | 2 weeks |
Hexcel | 10–100 | 85–130 | $65–$280 | 3 weeks |
EconCore | 5–40 | 68–95 | $39–$180 | 10 days |
Custom configurations follow this phased approach:
Recent projects achieved 14% weight reduction in marine decking through variable-density core mapping.
Aerospace: 0.8mm ultrathin cores reduced satellite panel mass by 22kg/m².
Automotive: Crash panel integration improved NHTSA ratings by 1.3 stars.
Architecture: 12m cantilevered façade sustained 120km/h wind loads.
Lifecycle assessments show 31% lower embodied carbon than FRP alternatives. The 5052 alloy's 95% recyclability enables $18–$25/m² scrap recovery value.
As thermal management requirements grow 7% annually in EV battery housings, aluminum 5052 honeycomb cores maintain 0.85–1.2W/mK thermal conductivity – balancing structural and thermodynamic needs without material compromises.

A: The aluminum 5052 honeycomb core is widely used in aerospace, marine, and architectural industries due to its lightweight structure, high strength-to-weight ratio, and corrosion resistance.
A: The 5052 aluminum alloy honeycomb core provides excellent load distribution, vibration damping, and thermal stability, making it ideal for panels, partitions, and composite structures.
A: Aluminum 5052 offers moderate heat resistance, but its honeycomb structure improves thermal insulation. For extreme temperatures, additional coatings or alloys may be required.
A: Yes, manufacturers can tailor cell size, foil thickness, and core density to meet specific mechanical, weight, or design requirements.
A: Aluminum 5052 excels in marine and chemical environments due to its magnesium content, offering better corrosion resistance than 3003 or 6061 alloys while maintaining formability.
