Advantages And Disadvantages Of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites


Carbon fiberIt is the second generation of high-performance composite materials after glass fiber. It has excellent performance and moderate price, and is widely used in various industries. Compared with glass fiber and carbon fiber, it has great advantages. Although the reinforcement effect of glass fiber is good, it cannot be called a high-performance composite material, and the modulus and strength of carbon fiber are recognized. The advantages of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are discussed in detail below.
 
Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials have the advantages of low density, high strength, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and low thermal expansion coefficient. Its fatigue resistance is very amazing, it can be maintained in the working state for a long time without deformation or breakage, and even metal cannot compare with it. Carbon fibers are not corroded by acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solutions, and can be used as materials for drilling in offshore oil fields. Before the use of carbon fiber, the material used for drilling in offshore oilfields was generally metal, which was easily corroded. Carbon fiber is very light in weight, does not require a lot of effort in material transportation, and is easy to operate. At present, carbon fiber is used in industries such as sports goods, machining, etc. Although it is more widely used, there are still many fields waiting to be developed. For example, it is used to manufacture space stations, make microphones, amplifiers and other audio materials.
 
The biggest disadvantage of carbon fiber reinforced composites is that they are brittle and easy to break. This shortcoming makes its machining very difficult. Due to the high hardness, if the force is too small, it is difficult for ordinary machines to perform machining such as drilling, but if the force is too large, it is easy to break, which is more troublesome. To solve this problem, you can use glass fiber or aramid fiber mixed with carbon fiber weaving. This not only retains flexibility, strength and hardness, but also more convenient to process.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites

ISO 9001 certified. BE-CU Prototype Offering CNC machining carbon fiber and other manufacturing services for carbon fiber marterial. Various capabilities include notching, labeling, drilling carbon fiber, grinding, laser cutting carbon fiber, finishing, plating, marking, CNC milling carbon fiber and turning carbon fiber.We stock high quality 3k carbon fiber sheet in a variety of thickness, types and finish. Its a great material used in applications where light weight and strength are needed such as drones. Unlike other workshops, we have no min order and are often filling orders with a single part. We also don’t make you pay for the full sheet and you only get charged for what is used. With a large selection of material, you should find everything you need to make your project come to life. We are also able to handle larger production runs and provide a competitive pricing. If we don’t have the material or finish you require, we are more the willing to look at bringing it in for you.

What Is Carbon Fiber?Carbon fiber is made of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) (or pitch, viscose) and other organic fibers by carbonization (removal of most elements except carbon) by pyrolysis method under inert gas at high temperature above 1,000 °C. Inorganic polymer fibers with a carbon content of more than 90%.
