Alcore's StrikegridT CEAF Composite Protection Against Lighting Strikes Showcased at International Conference on Lightning and Static Electricity
- 14 September 2005
Seattle, Washington - On average, each aircraft is struck by lightning every year. This makes it essential to provide protection from these strikes, especially with the advent of new composite fuselage design. While aluminum fuselages tend to conduct lightning's charge and wick it away, non-conductive composites need additional protection to guard against lightning strike damage.
StrikegridT Continuous Expanded Aluminum Foil (CEAF) is the aircraft industry's highest-performing lightning strike dissipation material. Because it is phosphoric acid anodized and coated with a proprietary coating, it outperforms all other ductile materials.
Alcore - well known for high performance aerospace aluminum honeycomb - is showcasing StrikegridT CEAF at the International Conference on Lightning and Static Electricity in Seattle to a broad audience of aircraft professionals. StrikegridT CEAF is currently being utilized in composite aircraft engine nacelle surfaces, with Alcore reporting broad interest in a range of aerospace and other applications.
The International Conference on Lightning and Static Electricity takes place at the SEA-TAC Marriott Hotel September19th through 23rd.
Alcore is part of the M.C. Gill Corporation Group of Companies.
