Edgewood, Maryland USA – Lightning is a natural threat that must be considered for increased safety in the design and the certification of aircraft. Protecting aluminum body aircraft from lightning strikes involves wicking away the electric charge through the conductive metal structure. With advances in the use of composites to fabricate aircraft structures, including use of much more composite materials in the fuselage, new systems for dealing with lightning strikes are being introduced. In response to this need, Alcore is introducing PAA StrikegridT 1145 Continuous Expanded Aluminum Foil (CEAF). Continuous Expanded Aluminum Foil is the industry’s highest-performing lightning strike dissipation material. Phosphoric acid anodized and coated with a proprietary coating, it outperforms all other ductile materials. Decades of operational experience have shown that bond durability between lightning strike materials and face sheets or surfacing materials is critical to long part life, and for this, Alcore PAA-StrikegridT foil has no equal. Alcore is part of the M.C. Gill Corporation Group of Companies
