Carbon fiber is a kind of high strength and high modulus fiber with carbon content of more than 90%. It is made of acrylic fiber and viscose fiber by oxidation and carbonization at more than 2000 degrees. It is an excellent material for manufacturing aerospace and other high-tech equipment.
Carbon fiber is a kind of special fiber composed of carbon element, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, conductivity, heat conduction and corrosion resistance. The graphite microcrystalline structure is preferred along the fiber axis, so it has high strength and modulus along the fiber axis. The density of carbon fiber is small, so the specific strength and specific modulus are high. The main purpose of carbon fiber is to composite with resin, metal and ceramics as reinforcement material to manufacture advanced composite materials. Carbon fiber reinforced system is widely used in engineering reinforcement.
Advantages of carbon fiber
1. High strength (10 times of steel)
2. Excellent heat resistance (can withstand high temperature above 2000 ℃)
3. Excellent thermal shock resistance
4. Low coefficient of thermal expansion (small deformation)
5. Small heat capacity (energy saving)
6. Low specific gravity (1 / 5 of steel)
7. Excellent corrosion resistance and radiation performance
