Carbon fiber is a specialty fiber composed of the element carbon.
Carbon fiber is made from carbonized fibers treated with an epoxy coating and graphite press weave. The advantages are light weight, high tensile strength, and of all the low-density man-made synthetic handle materials, carbon fiber is probably the strongest. Carbon fiber is also a highly processed material, so it is generally used in high-end products as well.
Carbon fiber is primarily a specialty fiber made up of carbon, and its carbon content varies with type, generally above 90%. Carbon fiber has the characteristics of general carbon materials, such as high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, etc., but different from the general carbon materials, its shape has significant anisotropy, soft, and can be processed into a variety of fabrics, along the direction of the fiber axis shows high strength. Carbon fiber has a small specific gravity, so it has a high specific strength.
Carbon fiber uses
1, aviation field: carbon fiber material specific gravity is small, can ensure the strength of the same time to reduce the weight, used in aerospace vehicles can effectively reduce the fuel consumption of the launch vehicle.
2, automotive field: carbon fiber materials can be used to replace the steel in the car, reduce the overall weight of the car, effective fuel savings.
3, wind power field: the rapid development of wind power generation, the blades used will become longer and longer, the strength of the material demand is getting higher and higher, the use of carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of the material to enhance the strength.
4, the medical field: carbon fiber materials, light transmittance is better, in the ray related medical equipment has more applications, in addition, with the development of technology, prosthetic limb technology is gradually mature, carbon fiber materials made of value of the quality of light, high strength, which allows users to be more comfortable and save energy.
5, sporting goods: daily life of fishing rods, golf clubs, bicycles, rackets, ski poles, etc. are used in carbon fiber, this fiber can better protect the use of items.
