Carbon Fiber 101

Carbon fiber: What is it?

 January 2005

 Who has heard of carbon fiber? They also know what it is? It was clear to me in recent months that almost all of the sport compact scene is aware carbonfibre exploding popularity. It is used to manufacture all the covers of the popular wings and also in the room now. But something else has become clear cheanche, where many fans are aware DEQUE, in reality, very few sabemosw is. Well, this month to discuss die carbon fiber are the property of the material and how it is used.

 Carbon has been around for more than fifty years, with its history in the aerospace and military. It is usually used for such industries as the costs for the production of carbon fibers are the clouds, and the cost is in these two areas. Only during the last year, the production of carbon fiber, reducing the price mall deel and their use more wide-verbreitet.

 Carbon fiber can be in one of two ways. E ' "wet" and to the process of pre-impregnated. The "wet" since the beginning of connections. Creating forms moldings made of fiberglass or carbon and resin. DIY widespread use of this park, the less intense coûteuseargent laboratory test. If the product is "wet" Lay, dry fibers in a die and are cast resin. The resin is brushed over the fibers in an uncontrolled. HMarz is in layers and layers of desired thickness until it is reached. If this is not the fiber can be saturated with resin, allowing more weight, and reducing the strength and stiffness. This method can also be inconsistent, since some areas are saturated and others are not thick enough.

 Pre-impregnated lay people has been perfected in the letztenich 20 years to products more predictable results apuestater. In this method, the fibers are pre-impregnated mit resin in the factory. Here wounds, and then frozen on spools to prevent the material from curing too fast. Materialicon this method are typically 20-30% stronger than the "way humidefaire" the thickness of the laminate. Set Pre-impregnated materials can be cured in one of two ways: vacuum bag compaction and compaction, and an automatic Clave pocket. The complex is located in a vacuum bag and compacción in a furnace. Then, the resin  solidifies, or "glass". When using the autoclave under pressure, especially cooks of the fibers. The maximum permissible temperature of culaminato red is used and the temperature is low mcontinu mineral. It is usually 250 to 350 degrees.

 The automobile manufacturers have begun experimenting with carbon fiber in 1970. Ford also built a machine of the carbon composite in 1977. In 1990, GM has a concept car has carbon fiber 100mpg. The motivation is es, vehicles with lower emissions vehicles, light weight, low costozione and better fuel economy. The problem of carbon fiber, although in the past is the astronomical price compared to other materials. At one point, the cost is $ 100 per pound, compared with 40 cents for nachÎÂÍÒ. Today, however, the price is somewhere in the $ 5 - $ 10 price and many other industries experiment with the material. Many fans to purchase products made of carbon for  the appearance, the mass provides additional advantages. Materiales make carbon fiber reinforced with high resistance of steel and aluminum.

 So that the next time you plan to buy a cover in Carbon or other products that you know how the pro-learned to get what they pay. Carbon is the beginning, with a beautiful future.
