Aluminum Carbon Fiber Sandwich Panel by ACP Composites

ACP Composites' AL-X Aluminum Honeycomb Sandwich Panels are engineered to endure Earth's atmosphere, enabling unmanned satellites to orbit successfully. Crafted from materials with proven flight heritage and precision processing, these panels serve structural roles, shielding, and protection in diverse satellite designs. Customizable to withstand varied launch loads and provide subsystem attachment points, they feature aerospace-grade HexWeb CR III Aluminum Honeycomb Core, offering excellent corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, and fatigue resistance. The core's protective coating forms a stable, adherent bond, differing from typical corrosion coatings. Carbon fiber face sheets, bonded with low outgassing film adhesive, provide superior strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance, but aluminum may be preferred for thermal management, radiation shielding, or cost considerations. Available in 5052 and 5056 alloys, these panels offer post-processing options and comply with NASA outgassing requirements. They can be customized, processed in high volumes, and accept customer-owned materials, with capabilities up to 60 x 120 max footprint and core splicing.
