The Gill Corp. (TGC, El Monte, Calif., U.S.) announces the new Gillcore HF fiberglass honeycomb core, which, developed in response to industry demand from aerospace customers, meets all AMS 3715 requirements. The core is produced with a substrate consisting of woven fiberglass cloth reinforced with heat-resistant phenolic resin for improved moisture resistance over traditional aramid fiber substrates. TGC says it is suitable for high-temperature applications requiring a high degree of forming and high moisture areas.

TGC processes rolls of fiberglass cloth through the same manufacturing equipment as aramid honeycomb cores. In addition to completing its own AMS 3715 test requirements, the company is working with other customers to meet their own qualifications.

Compared to legacy materials like steel, aluminum, iron and titanium, composites are still coming of age, and only just now are being better understood by design and manufacturing engineers. However, composites’ physical properties — combined with unbeatable light weight — make them undeniably attractive.

The structural properties of composite materials are derived primarily from the fiber reinforcement. Fiber types, their manufacture, their uses and the end-market applications in which they find most use are described.

High hurdles remain, but the push for sustainable sources of resin monomers is gaining momentum.
