hello everyone. i was wondering if you guys from easy composites could exlplain more about this, i´ve being wondering
about the uses and aplication of diferent types of Core Materials
sorry if it is a stupid question :/
im really curious about this, specially for automotive parts development, which ones/how/where they should be used

Thank you for a really good overview, from me too! Would be grateful for some slightly more specific advice if that's ok?

We're planning to build a carbon/kevlar/glass sumpguard for a rally car, the current design uses layers of carbon and glass with a kevlar skin on the underneath (for its wear/penetratin performance). The glass layers are essentially to add bulk in the middle and I was looking at your core materials as being a potentially more effective alternative.

The guard will be bolted up onto brackets on the car, obviously the crush strength of the core material at the mountings will be critical. I'm wary of using the aluminium honeycomb because it creates a hollow, so was thinking that something like Coremat would be suitable, am I on the right track? Will it sustain the compression loads associated with bolting up and (obviously) impacts?

Many thanks in anticipation
