PROPERTIES
Carbon Fiber
Some of the most impressive properties of Carbon Fiber include:
- Weight – Carbon fiber is one of the lightest available materials. It is approximately five times lighter than steel and twice as light as aluminum. That’s why it is often used in applications where weight is critical, such as aerospace.
- Strength – When it comes to strength, carbon fiber is also one of the best. Due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, parts manufactured from carbon fiber are more robust and long-lasting.
- Flexibility – Carbon fiber offers exceptional flexibility. It can be transformed and shaped into various forms without losing its strength or structural integrity.
- Corrosion resistant – It is a perfect material for environments where other materials will be destroyed by corrosion. This makes it effective for various industries, including military applications or space exploration missions! This composite material can withstand harsh chemicals as well.
- Stress resistant – This composite material is resistant to environmental stresses such as heat, ultraviolet light, and extreme cold. This attribute allows for a longer lifespan of products made from carbon fiber.
- Vibration damping – Carbon is an excellent material for putting into things because it absorbs energy from the environment and deals well with vibration and other forces that would otherwise create instability.
- Thermal conductivity – Carbon fiber has a low thermal expansion rate and is an excellent conductor of heat.
