PAMG-XR1 5056 Aluminum Honeycomb

Product catalog summary
Overview: PAMG-XR1 5056 is an aerospace-grade aluminum honeycomb core material known for its lightweight, superior strength, and corrosion resistance compared to 5052 and 3003 aluminum honeycombs. It is made from 5056 aluminum alloy foil and complies with AMS C7438 Rev A standards.
Features:
  • Elevated use temperatures
  • High thermal conductivity
  • Flame resistant
  • Excellent moisture and corrosion resistance
  • Fungi resistant
  • Low weight / High strength
Applications: This honeycomb is used in various aerospace applications such as aircraft floors, leading and trailing edges, missile wings, fan casings, fuel cells, fuselage components, helicopter rotor blades, and navy bulkhead joiner panels.
Availability: Available in unexpanded blocks, slices, untrimmed expanded sheets, and cut-to-size expanded sheets, with or without cell perforations. Cell sizes range from 1/8" to 3/8", and densities from 1.0 pcf to 8.1 pcf.
Specifications:
  • Sheet "Ribbon" (L): 48" typical - 72" max
  • Sheet "Transverse" (W): 96" typical - 200" max
  • Sheet Thickness (T): 20"/34" max
  • Tolerances: Length: +6", -0"; Width: +6", -0"; Thickness: ±.005" (under 4" thick), ±.062" (over 4" thick); Density: ±10%; Cell Size: ±10%
Corrosion Resistance: The chromated XR1 coating provides excellent protection in corrosive environments, meeting AMS C7438 Rev A, CL2 requirements.
