Abstract
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing honeycomb structures in which multiple foils are welded together by means of thermal compression and the multiple foils form the honeycomb structure in the expanded condition. The bonding locations, where the foils are fused together, are defined by inserting a structured layer between the foils.
Claims9
A method of manufacturing honeycomb structures which includes the following steps:
- connecting a plurality of foils to one another so as to realize a stack of interconnected foils which form a honeycomb structure in the expanded condition, the foils being fused at various bonding locations,
- expanding the stack of foils in a direction transversely of the surface of the foils in order to form the honeycomb structure,
- characterized in that the method includes a step for:
- providing a structured separating layer on at least one side of the foil in order to realize bonding locations on the foil.
A honeycomb structure which includes a plurality of foils which are fused to one another at various bonding locations, characterized in that the bonding locations are separated from one another by a structured separating layer provided on at least one side of the foil.
