Metal honeycomb core

Metal honeycomb core

Product introduction

MAT Aviation manufactures custom metal honeycomb cores using in-house foil processing, forming and welding capabilities. Available materials include stainless steel, nickel alloys including nickel-based superalloys, aluminum and copper, with other alloys reviewed on request. Material and geometry are selected according to the application and customer drawing.

Available forms include flat panels, blocks, round cores, rings and other custom shapes. Cell size, foil thickness, core depth and overall dimensions are reviewed together to establish a suitable manufacturing specification.

◆Applications

ApplicationTypical Use
Honeycomb seals (aerospace and energy)Honeycomb cores for sealing components in aircraft engines, gas turbines and steam turbines, manufactured to customer drawings and application requirements.
Honeycomb flow straightenersHoneycomb structures for airflow conditioning in wind tunnels and industrial flow systems.
Electromagnetic shielding and EMI honeycomb ventsHoneycomb cores for EMI shielding honeycomb vent assemblies that require both airflow and electromagnetic shielding.
Acoustic and energy-absorbing structuresCustom honeycomb cores for application-specific acoustic and energy-absorbing assemblies.

The finished assembly and operating requirements determine the appropriate material and core design. Sealing, shielding, acoustic and energy-absorption performance require application-specific evaluation.

Manufacturing and Quality

MAT Aviation has extensive experience in metal honeycomb manufacturing and applications. We have independently developed fully automated honeycomb welding equipment and proprietary flexible honeycomb design and manufacturing technology. Through continued product and process improvement, we support both customized production and volume manufacturing to meet diverse customer requirements.

  • Electron beam welding and brazing capabilities for applicable component designs.

  • AS9100D-certified quality management and Nadcap accreditations covering nondestructive testing, welding, nonconventional machining and heat treating.

Applicable approval scope and inspection requirements should be confirmed for each order.

These figures describe our overall manufacturing range. Available combinations depend on material, cell geometry, product dimensions and manufacturing process. Please contact MAT to confirm feasibility for your drawing. Available surface treatments depend on the base material, geometry and application requirements and must be agreed in the technical specification.

◆Packaging and Delivery

Packaging and delivery requirements are agreed during quotation. Please specify any requirements for surface protection, handling, identification or export packing.

◆Frequently Asked Questions


◆Can MAT manufacture a honeycomb core to my drawing?

We review custom drawings for material, cell size, foil thickness, core depth, overall dimensions and tolerances before confirming manufacturing feasibility.

◆Are all parameter combinations in the table available?

No. The table presents overall capability ranges. A specific combination must be assessed against the material, geometry and process requirements.

◆What information is needed for a quotation?

Please provide your drawing, material specification, cell size, foil thickness, core depth, quantity and inspection requirements. Include the application and operating conditions where relevant.
