Carbon fiber composite ballast tank for deep sea 2024-08-01

The traditional deep-sea ballast tank is mainly made of wrought steel, aluminum, titanium and other metal materials, and the technology is relatively mature. The weight of the ballast tank made of lightweight composite materials such as carbon fiber and polymer resin is 40% to 60% less than that of the metal tank of the same specification, which means that more scientific instruments can be carrie...

Plastic bearings: its type and advantages over metal 2024-07-24

After all, they may be used in rugged products and subsystem components, such as bearings made of alloys such as steel and bronze. Or they simply don't think plastic can handle harsh applications or extreme environmental conditions. But the fact is that modern plastic bearings (especially plastic ball bearings) can withstand extreme temperatures, heavy loads and high speeds. However, it is importa...

The large use of carbon fiber composites in automotive parts 2024-07-17

Carbon fiber in automotive applications Car is a very important means of transportation, which brings a lot of convenience to people's life, but also brings some problems, such as environmental pollution, energy crisis and so on. At present, China has clearly defined the goal of reaching the peak of carbon and carbon neutrality, and has put forward new requirements for various industries, and carb...

What is a TDS report? What are the differences between TDS reports and MSDS reports? 2024-07-17

All chemicals are told to provide MSDS report before export transportation, and some also need to provide TDS report. What is TDS report? TDS report (Technical Data Sheet) is a technical parameter table, also known as technical data sheet, chemical technical data sheet. It is a document that provides information on the technical specifications and performance of chemicals. TDS reports usually cont...

Compare 11 properties of carbon fiber, aramid fiber and glass fiber 2024-07-16

1. Tensile strength Tensile strength refers to the maximum stress that a material can withstand before stretching. Some non-brittle materials deform before they break, but Kevlar® fibers, carbon fibers, and glass fibers are brittle and break almost without deforming. Tensile strength is measured in force per unit area (Pa or Pascals). Stress is force, and strain is deflection due to stress. Th...

Modulus and tensile strength of reinforced fibers for composite materials 2024-07-16

At present, as a common reinforcement fiber for composite materials, there are usually three types: carbon fiber, glass fiber and Kevlar (aramid) fiber. When used for composite reinforcement, the fibers can define the performance standards of the material and are responsible for playing a load-bearing role in the design structure, while the resin matrix is primarily responsible for transferring th...

What will be the price of polypropylene in 2024 and the influencing factors 2024-07-03

There is no doubt that polypropylene is the most versatile thermoplastic whose applications and fields of application spread across a wide variety of industries: packaging, automobile, textiles, and consumer goods. In recent years, polypropylene has shown significant volatility in the market. 1. Factors influencing polypropylene price 1.1. Crude oil and natural gas prices Polypro...

Fiber types and fiber forms for composite materials 2024-06-28

Types of fibers used in composite materials The structural properties of composite materials are mainly derived from fiber reinforcement. In composite materials, the fibers held in place by the matrix resin help to enhance tensile strength, enhancing the properties of the final part such as strength and stiffness, while minimizing weight. Fiber properties are determined by the fiber manufacturing ...

Performance advantage and application of PEEK in automotive field 2024-06-27

preamble In the field of automotive manufacturing, the choice of materials is crucial to the performance, durability and safety of the vehicle. With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the requirements for material properties are also increasing. PEEK as a high-performance special engineering plastic, in the context of "plastic instead of steel" and "lightweight", with its excellent ...

What are the influential factors of glass fiber reinforced nylon material? 2024-06-24

Polyamide is commonly known as nylon (PA), its main feature is that the polymer main chain contains a large number of amide groups, these amide groups are easy to form hydrogen bonds with each other, and the force between PA molecular chains is strong. Therefore, PA has the characteristics of high crystallinity, high surface hardness, good chemical stability, high tensile and bending strength, wea...
