1. Characteristics of carbon fiber fabric

What is carbon fiber farbic? Carbon fiber fabric is a reinforcing material made of high-strength carbon fiber filaments through weaving or multi-axial laying process. It has excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and good dimensional stability. It is one of the core reinforcing materials for high-performance composite materials. It is widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace, automobiles, wind power, building reinforcement, sports equipment, etc. Its core characteristics are as follows:

Extremely high strength: The strength is more than 5 times that of steel, but the weight is only 1/4 of it

Excellent corrosion resistance: Suitable for acid, alkali, marine, and chemical environments

Excellent dimensional stability: low thermal expansion coefficient and good thermal stability

Good resin impregnation: easy to form a strong composite with epoxy resin, vinyl resin, etc.

2. Advantages of carbon fiber fabric

Significantly improve the strength and rigidity of composite materials

Extend the service life of products and reduce maintenance costs

Compatible with a variety of molding processes and a wide range of applications

Effectively reduce the overall structural weight and improve energy efficiency

3. Application scenarios

Aerospace: wings, cabins, internal structural parts

Lightweighting of automobiles: body, doors, hood, chassis parts

Wind power generation: wind turbine blades, structural reinforcement layers

Civil engineering: bridges, tunnels, floor reinforcement

Sports equipment: bicycles, tennis rackets, surfboards, snowboards, etc.

4. Selection Guide

5. FAQ

The difference between carbon fiber fabric and glass fiber fabric

Both are typical composite reinforced fabrics, but their performance and cost vary greatly. The strength and rigidity of carbon fiber cloth far exceed those of glass fiber, while its density is lower. It has excellent lightweight advantages and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for fields with extremely high performance requirements such as aerospace, high-performance automobiles, and sports equipment. However, carbon fiber is expensive and has high processing requirements. Glass fiber cloth is a more cost-effective choice. Although its mechanical properties are not as good as carbon fiber, it meets most industrial reinforcement needs and is widely used in wind power, shipbuilding, construction and other fields.

Difference in weaving methods

Plain weave: dense interweaving, smooth surface, suitable for surface and decorative layer, good appearance, but average flexibility;

Twill: looser fiber interlacing, good softness, easy to wrap complex curved surfaces, but the surface is not as regular as plain weave;

Multi-axial: multiple layers are laid in different directions, with uniform reinforcement and strong directionality, and are usually used for large-size structural parts, such as wind turbine blades, hulls, etc.

Which is better, Kevlar or carbon fiber?

Kevlar is tough, wear-resistant and impact-resistant, and is mainly used in bulletproof vests, explosion-proof shells, and tear-resistant protective layers; while carbon fiber is rigid, lightweight, and fatigue-resistant, and is suitable for load-bearing structural parts, lightweight frames, and mechanical reinforcement components. In short, Kevlar is the material for impact resistance and wear resistance, and carbon fiber is the material for high strength and light weight.
