What is carbon fiber? Carbon fiber is formed by a combination of carbon atoms up one long-chain. Fiber is very hard, light labor solid and quality, are applied to a variety of excellent building materials. Carbon fiber material made from a variety of raw blocks, including some of the yarn, knitted and several other way in order to create a composite. Plain weave carbon fiber twill carbon fiber, there are many subclasses need further refinement in these directories. E.g., different carbon fiber components and stripes will result in different performance of the final product. In order to create a tension and compression are tough carbon fiber part, need to build a stable base of internal structure and maintain its shape. Epoxy resins are an excellent material with good compression and deformation, usually used to build this structure allows the structure to achieve with carbon fiber reinforcement. Since the resin density can be used to create lightweight components and very strong. When produced when a member can use a number of different methods, including wet stack coating, vacuum bagging, resin transfer, matched mold, insert molding, pultrusion, and many other methods. In addition, select different resins can produce different properties. Carbon fiber reinforced resin structural strength, hardness and other comparative carbon fiber material is very strong, which is strength to weight ratio and stiffness to weight ratio measure aspects of a typical engineering materials, in particular in an increase in weight can cause life cycle costs are not satisfied with the performance or structure design. Hardness of a material is determined by its spring constant measuring, carbon fiber coefficient Typ 20 msi (138 Gpa) and its typical value is the maximum tensile strength 500 ksi (3.5 Gpa). High strength and hardness of carbon fiber material also has a higher value, through specialized heat treatment process. Compared to a typical value of the coefficient of aluminum 2024-T3, only 10 msi and maximum tensile strength typical value of only 500 ksi, while the coefficient typ 4130 steel is 30 msi and maximum tensile strength values ??are typically 125 ksi. As an example, a plain weave carbon fiber plate has elasticity and bulk density 6msi of 83 lbs / ft3 of. In contrast, the density of aluminum is 169 lbs / ft3, it weighs hardness is 8.8 x 108 ft. So even if an ordinary plain carbon fiber plate hardness than aluminum weight is 18% higher than 14% of steel is high. When considering a custom strength carbon fiber reinforced board and simultaneously increase the strength and hardness of the core material, it is clear advanced carbon fiber composite material may be applied to a wide. Advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber reinforced composites have several in advanced materials and systems utilizing excellent characteristics. Carbon two common application is satisfactory under the weight of strength and hardness requirements, including space, military structures, robotics, wind power generation, production equipment, sports equipment, and many other aspects. When combined with other materials can achieve high toughness, certain applications will be applied to the carbon fiber electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity. Finally, in addition to the basic mechanical properties, carbon fiber has a unique and beautiful surface finish. Although carbon fiber has the characteristics of other materials can not match, but also some aspects need to be weighed. First, solid carbon fiber distortion, when not deform under slight bend, the opposite will be completed once the damage exceeds the limit of carbon. In the design process engineers must understand the properties, especially in the design of safety factors considered. It is also worth noting that the carbon fiber composite material more expensive than conventional materials. Require the use of carbon fiber to produce high quality materials (such as solid carbon board, plywood, pipe) a relatively high level and many intricate process, build self-assembly, highly optimized parts and components require very high technical level and special tools and equipment. Carbon VS metal can not simply compare carbon fiber, copper and aluminum or plastic parts design portfolio of properties when, since these materials are basically the same (same characteristics of all points), have the same properties (properties of each axis is the same). In contrast, the power of the carbon fiber concentration in its axial direction, the direction of this carbon fiber properties and the greatest degree of influence the mechanical properties of the base. Carbon components are integrated neither uniform nor in each direction. Performance similar to carbon fiber and steel while its weight and similar plastics, so the carbon fiber strength to weight ratio (weight ratio and stiffness) is much higher than steel and plastic. Specific details of the construction, and depending on the application member, for example a foam core having a high bending strength to weight ratio, but not necessarily compression or extrusion, their structure is unique, in your application is not possible to use Carbon steel instead of the same thickness. Determine the specific needs of product safety and comfort is the customer's responsibility, which is the result of engineering analysis and experimental verification.
