Manufacturing technology honeycomb core from polymeric composite materals

The honeycomb core is an integral part of the spacecraft's sandwich panel. Currently, use of aluminum honeycomb core in sandwich constructions. The proposed technology makes it possible to replace the honeycomb filler material from aluminum with a polymer composite material (PCM). The main difference between the developed technology for the production of honeycomb filler by the RTM method is that corrugated tape is glued during the formation of the composite material. This is a separate process in the existing methods for the production of honeycomb cores from PCM. This paper presents the results of creating a prototype of a honeycomb filler by the RTM-method, a technological process has been developed.
