How is the stainless steel honeycomb panel constructed?

Stainless steel honeycomb panels generally have 5 layers: stainless steel plate, adhesive, honeycomb core, adhesive, stainless steel plate. Materials with high tensile and compressive strength are suitable for the skin, such as surface-treated stainless steel. Adhesives vary by application: high strength, high temperature, low temperature, etc.

Honeycomb core: According to design requirements, aluminum honeycomb core can be used.

How do honeycomb panels work?

The working principle of honeycomb panel strength is very similar to that of I-beam. The core of the strength of the honeycomb panel is the vertical member, the panel is metal, and the two work together to produce high compressive strength. As with I-beams, the greater the distance between the cleats (the thicker the cleat core), the higher the strength.

1. High-strength metal surfaces can reduce the risk of tensile failure.

2. Numerous honeycomb openings reduce the risk of buckling failure.

3. Small aperture can reduce the risk of extrusion or peeling failure.

4. Core orientation and density can reduce shear failure.

5. Harder and lighter than a single layer

The stiffness of the stainless steel honeycomb panel allows the end user to use less material and reduce weight. Stiffness increases exponentially compared to monolithic materials. The use of a honeycomb core can significantly increase stiffness, but the weight gain is modest.
