Hi

I'm in FSAE Team and i'd like to make carbon fiber monocoque body

last year our Team use aramid fiber honey comb

This year we try to change core material (1/8 inch aramid fiber Honey comb ⇒ 1/8 inch aluminum Honey comb)

last year we use adhesive film to combine carbon and aramid honey comb

because we expect that film type adhesive will show even adhesion and it was corresponded our expectaion

by using aluminum honeycomb is it okay use same ahesive film in sandwich pannel??

if not which adhesive is good for aluminum honeycomb

Yes, it would be fine to use the same adhesive film that you used for the aramid honeycomb with aluminium honeycomb. Make sure of course that the adhesive film has been stored frozen for the whole time since last year.I hope this helps.

thanks for your reply

but i have a question about aluminum honeycomb sandwich pannel

if aluminum is oxidized, is there no problem??

Do you mean that the honeycomb you have shows signs of oxidisation (showing as white corrosion on the foil)? - If this is the case then this will certainly cause some reduction in mechanical performance. Under normal conditions it's quite unusual for aluminum to corrode like this. Or are you referring to the possibility of galvanic corrosion once you have combined the aluminium and carbon fibre into the finished panel? - If this is what you mean then although galvanic corrosion is a consideration in high risk environments (such as helicopters subject to sea-spray) it is highly unlikely to be a problem in the environment (and service life) of a formula student car.

yes i was worried about  galvanic corrosion

2years ago, i've been made aluminum honeycomb sample now it showscorrosion at the surface

of course only visible point
