ABOUT PRODUCTS SUPPLY LEADERSHIP INVESTORS MEDIA CAREERS CONTACT Search GLOBAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE AEROSPACE MARKET Overview Products SPECIALTY MATERIALS Magellan’s specialty material products include laser welded honeycomb and filament wound tubes that are designed and manufactured for a variety of applications in the commercial, defence, and industrial markets. PRODUCTS METALLIC HONEYCOMB MANUFACTURE Magellan designs and manufactures metallic laser welded and resistance welded honeycomb using stable and repeatable processes and has unique attributes for higher temperature applications where glued honeycomb structures cannot perform. The products are typically produced in materials suitable for higher temperatures such as titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys where strength and temperature are both key design considerations. The key technological advantages of laser welded honeycomb include weight savings, higher node strength, and a wide range of design flexibility including aluminum laser welded honeycomb. Honeycomb can be produced with many different controllable features, including: TYPE Expanded core Variable cell honeycomb Perforated Slotted Energy absorbing Angled Corrugated CELL SHAPE Square Hexagonal Beneflex™ Proprietary honeycomb pattern known for its “flex” capabilities without heat (cold state) and scalable cell size from 1/8” cell to any size required in increments of 0.002” without tooling change. DIMENSIONS Min cell size: 1/8” (0.125”) Thickness range from 0.001” – 0.012” Core Depth from 0.25” – 10.00” KEY PRODUCTS Acoustic exhaust assemblies Metallic sandwich honeycomb panels Brazed honeycomb structures Missile control surfaces Engine Exhaust Front Plug Honeycomb Blanket Beneflex™ Cell Titanium Honeycomb FILAMENT WINDING Filament winding is a fabrication technique mainly used for manufacturing cylinders or closed end structures such as pressure vessels or tanks. This process involves winding filaments under tension over a rotating mandrel. While filament wound structures are hollow, they are extremely lightweight with incomparable strength. In many aerospace and defense applications, weight is as important as strength; products need to be as light as possible while retaining strength, and filament wound composite components provide the solution for these strength-to weight ratio challenges. Filament wound structures may be applied to a wide range aerospace applications such as rocket motor casings, missile fuselage sections, and other structural composite bodies. Magellan has been producing carbon fiber filament wound components for more than 25 years. This specialized niche capability offers light-weight components with exceptional strength and may replace metal parts that may be removed and re-installed. Magellan utilizes a phenolic-triazine resin system, which is in the category of high performance thermoset composites.
