STABILISING THE HONEYCOMB CORE FOR SANDWICH COMPONENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to the stabilisation of a honeycomb core for a sandwich-type structural component. In order to provide a stabilised honeycomb core, in which the penetration of resin from the region of the outer layers is minimised during a lamination process, a honeycomb core (120) is first laid down and a curable adhesive layer (122) is subsequently applied to at least one exterior surface of the honeycomb core. A semi-permeable membrane (124) is then laid on the at least one exterior surface, the membrane being gas-permeable and impermeable to liquid. Air (126) that is present in the honeycomb core can then be drawn off (128) through the semi-permeable membrane and the adhesive layer is cured.
