Axiom announces new website launch Jun 3rd
AXIOM Materials
Advanced Honeycomb Technologies (AHT) has joined the Axiom Materials family and will be called Axiom Honeycomb. We are proud to announce our new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Carlsbad, California.
At Axiom Honeycomb, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality honeycomb cores that meet or exceed contractor specifications. Our cores are used in a diverse range of products, including commercial aircraft, communications and transportation equipment, space vehicles, construction materials, and recreational and sporting goods.
Honeycomb cores are lightweight cellular core materials used in sandwich panel construction. They help provide stiffness and strength while keeping overall structure weight low.
Axiom offers aerospace-grade Nomex® honeycomb and commercial-grade Nomex® honeycomb. AHN 4120 is Axiom’s aerospace-grade Nomex® honeycomb and AHN 7800 is Axiom’s commercial-grade Nomex® honeycomb. We also offer alternative meta aramid honeycomb core exhibiting equivalent performances to Nomex honeycomb core.
Axiom’s honeycomb cores are used in commercial aircraft, communications and transportation equipment, space vehicles, construction materials, recreational products, and sporting goods. A Boeing Encore 737 Galley is an example of a major application.
AHN 4120 is Axiom’s aerospace-grade Nomex® honeycomb. Axiom describes it as a small-cell, low-density, non-metallic honeycomb that offers high strength and toughness.
AHN 7800 is Axiom’s commercial-grade Nomex® honeycomb. Axiom describes it as suitable for uses where resistance to corrosive attack and moisture are important.
The right honeycomb core depends on the application, grade requirement, density, cell size, thickness, panel design, bonding method, and environmental exposure. For aerospace applications, customers should verify the required grade, specification, and technical documentation before selecting a honeycomb core.
AXIOM epoxy tooling prepregs support composite mold-making applications that require dependable processing and finished tool quality. They are a strong fit for teams looking for practical cure options and consistent laminate behavior during tool fabrication.
AXIOM BMI tooling prepregs are formulated for more demanding tooling requirements where elevated-temperature performance is part of the specification. They help manufacturers build tools for composite programs that place more stress on the tooling system.
A tooling prepreg has to do more than cure. It has to handle correctly, lay up cleanly, and produce a tool surface that does not create problems later in production.
Designed for mold-making programs using autoclave or out-of-autoclave processing.
Supports tooling applications where cosmetics and low pinholing are part of the manufacturing requirement.
Available in epoxy and BMI systems to match different process and performance needs.
Axiom's processing experts can help match tooling materials to the application, cure approach, and production environment.
