What is carbon fiber

Carbon fiber is a polymer and a high-strength, high-modulus and high-temperature-resistant composite material. It is a very strong and lightweight material and is a high-end product of new materials. Mainly composed of carbon atoms, about 5-10 microns in diameter. Because carbon fiber is five times stronger than steel, twice as hard as steel, and even three times lighter than aluminum alloy. These characteristics are very popular with modern designers and engineers, designing and making various parts with carbon fiber materials.

Carbon fibers thinner than a single hair can not achieve our ideal stiffness and hardness. We generally combine multiple strands of carbon fibers together to form a yarn to achieve the physical properties we need, such as 1000 strands of carbon fiber, we call it as 1k carbon fiber, 3000 strands are called 3k carbon fiber, and so on. Through the thickened carbon fiber, we can use the existing textile technology to weave it into the shape or parts we want. However, based on the fact that carbon fiber itself can not be fixed and shaped, we generally combine carbon fiber with resin, plastic or other materials and solidify and form through further processing.

In addition to high stiffness and hardness, carbon fiber has other physical properties:

  • Corrosion resistance
  • Antioxidant
  • Strong X-ray transmission
  • High temperature resistance
  • Low temperature resistance
  • Low coefficient of thermal expansion
  • High tensile strength
  • Light weight
  • Good electrical conductivity

 

Based on these carbon fiber properties, it is popular in all of industrial, and is widely used in military, medical, automobile, sports equipment and other entertainment equipment.

Our AZURE team (carbon fiber products manufacturer at www.azurecomp.com) can almost use carbon fiber to make and process a variety of spare parts or products according to the requirements of various customers. At present, we have successfully developed and put into production,here are some of parts or products:

Blog
  • carbon fiber tubes
  • carbon fiber rods
  • carbon fiber sheets
  • Carbon fiber profiles
  • Carbon fiber drone paddles
  • Carbon fiber drone battery casing
  • Carbon fiber surfboards
  • X-ray scanner beds
  • Carbon fiber helmets
  • Carbon fiber pickleball paddles
  • Carbon fiber auto parts such as steering wheel, front and rear bumpers, tail fins, and carbon fibre windows bezels.

According to relevant reports, under the same conditions, using carbon fiber to replace existing auto parts made of other materials will reduce the weight of the vehicle by about 50% and reduce energy consumption by about 35% , some performance is beyond the auto parts made of traditional materials.
