Honeycomb is used for many military, commercial and industrial applications. Our individual product pages have additional information regarding markets and uses, as well as product pictures.

Honeycomb Seals – This is the consumable honeycomb portion of the honeycomb seal components in Aircraft Engines and/or Power Generation Turbines. Normally the cell sizes range from 1/32” to 1/4” hexagonal but can also be larger. Typical Materials are HastX, Haynes 214/230, Inconel 625/718 or a SST. The material thicknesses normally range from .001” to .005” although a few are significantly thicker.

Structural Honeycomb – This is the core portion of a Honeycomb Panel. Cell sizes typically range from 1/4” to 3/4” and use material types in various forms of SST, Inconel and Titanium. Square cell is predominant with smooth or various corrugated wall geometries. Indy Honeycomb is especially competent manufacturing finished 3/8” square cell core with standard or deep corrugated wall geometry (SC-6-XX-F).

Other applications – This area covers uses that are in general categories of optical, flow straightening, filtering, cosmetic and others. Cell depths typically range from very small (<.050”) to 12” or more. Cell depths of less than 4” cell depth are more commonly used for most applications.
