Hi!

Is alu honeycomb compatible with direct contact with CF, or will there be corrosion issues in the part?

Thanks/

If anyone is worried about corrosion: Galvanic corrosion will occur if aluminium is in direct contact with the carbon fibres however it is so slow that it is measured in a time scale of decades so not a big deal unless your doing it in a production aircraft.
