Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRP)

2022-08-18 19:20:30

Carbon fiber reinforced composite material, English abbreviation (CFRP), as a lightweight material, CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced composite material) is known as the crown jewel of the material field for its excellent properties such as light weight and high strength. "The most effective solution, which can significantly reduce the weight of the product, is known as one of the ideal materials for improving energy efficiency, and is playing an increasingly important role in vehicle lightweighting.

CFRP structure and properties

It is a special fiber mainly composed of carbon elements, and its carbon content varies with different types, generally more than 90%. Carbon fiber has the characteristics of general carbon materials, such as high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. fabric, which exhibits high strength along the fiber axis. Carbon fiber has a small specific gravity, so it has a high specific strength

CFRP application areas

Aerospace

The application of fiber reinforced composite materials in aircraft can be traced back to 30 years ago. The tail part of the US Navy F-14 and Air Force F-15 fighter jets uses boron fiber epoxy resin materials. After that, people discovered the excellent properties of carbon fiber composite materials, and began to be gradually applied to the military and transport aircraft.

auto industry

The material properties and development trends of carbon fiber composites conform to the lightweight development needs of the automotive industry. Especially with the development of new energy vehicles, carbon fiber composites will be more and more widely used in automobiles.

marine ship

In the 1940s, the US Navy first used carbon fiber composite materials for ship construction. Thanks to its excellent performance in seawater environment, it is widely used in marine ships.

wind power

In the field of wind power generation, composite materials are the main materials for the manufacture of wind power blades and other important structural components. More than 90% of the weight of the blades is composed of composite materials, which can meet the requirements for the development of large-scale, lightweight, high-performance, and low-cost power generation blades. .

sporting goods

In the mid-1980s, Italy, France, the United Kingdom and the United States successively developed carbon fiber bicycles with carbon fiber tubes and aluminum alloy joints bonded to the frame.

More sporting goods areas: golf clubs, fishing rods, tennis rackets, badminton rackets, snowboards, etc.
