The difference between glass fiber and carbon fiber

The difference between glass fiber and carbon fiber

Answer:

Carbon fiber is a fibrous carbon material, containing more than 90% carbon. It is made by carbonization of various organic fibers in inert gas and in high temperature. Carbon fiber has excellent mechanical properties, is the highest strength and the highest modulus fiber with high performance fiber has been mass production, especially high temperature and inert environment in above 2000 C, carbon material is the only strength of the material, the other is the main structural material (metal and alloy) incomparable. In addition to excellent mechanical properties, but also has many other excellent properties of carbon fiber, such as low density, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, friction resistance, anti fatigue, vibration attenuation, high power and high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, X light penetration is high, but the non magnet electromagnetic shielding.
The glass steel curing temperature of glass fiber is not very clear, the curing temperature of carbon fiber products is not determined, generally the higher the temperature curing speed, curing speed at room temperature is relatively slow, so if you need to speed up the curing speed, and temperature in the heating box can be placed in the concrete temperature control, you still want to go to check the information and practical operation.
The chemical composition is completely different. The glass fiber is characterized by its low price, high physical performance, high carbon fiber price, but very good physical properties such as tensile strength, and the most important one is the light quality
