Advantages of carbon fiber
Carbon fiber has excellent properties of elemental carbon, such as small proportion, excellent heat resistance, small thermal expansion coefficient, high thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance and good conductivity. At the same time, it has a kind of fiber like flexibility, which can be woven and wrapped. The best performance of carbon fiber is that the specific strength and specific modulus are more than that of general reinforcement fiber.
The specific strength and specific modulus of the composite formed with resin are about 3 times higher than that of steel and aluminum alloy. Carbon fiber composites can be used in space, missile and sports equipment to reduce weight, improve payload and improve performance. They are important structural materials in aerospace industry.
Carbon fiber axial strength and high modulus, no creep, fatigue resistance, between heat and electrical conductivity between the metal and non metal, low thermal expansion coefficient, good corrosion resistance, low fiber density, good permeability of X ray.
