Carbon fiber composite is a kind of high performance material composed of carbon fiber and resin matrix, which has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is widely used in rail transit, aerospace, power cables, new energy vehicles, medical equipment, engineering equipment, sporting goods and other industries.

The following will be a detailed analysis of the role played by carbon fiber composite materials from a professional perspective.

rail traffic

Metal rail train, although the strength of the car body is high, but the car weight, energy consumption is high. Therefore, train lightweight has become a key technology to reduce train operation energy consumption.

Carbon fiber composite material is the focus of material selection of the new generation of high-speed rail train body, which can not only make the rail train body lightweight, but also improve the high-speed running performance, reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution and enhance safety.

At present, the application trend of carbon fiber composite materials in the field of rail vehicles is expanding from non-load-bearing structural parts such as car interior and equipment to load-bearing components such as car body and frame. From skirt plate, deflector cover and other parts to the top cover, driver's cab, vehicle body and other large structure development; The hybrid structure of metal and composite materials is the main structure, and the amount of carbon fiber composite materials is greatly increased.

aerospace

The selection of materials in the aerospace field has higher requirements than that of rail transit, requiring materials with high strength, high stiffness, low density and high temperature resistance.

Carbon fiber composite material is the best choice, its high strength and low density make aircraft and spacecraft maintain structural strength while reducing weight, improve fuel efficiency and load capacity; Its high temperature resistance enables it to withstand the extreme changes of aerospace during atmospheric loading.

Therefore, carbon fiber composites are widely used in the aerospace industry for aircraft fuselages, wings, thrusters and spacecraft mechanism parts.

Power cable

In the power cable industry, carbon fiber composite materials are mainly used in cable protection tubes.

Cable protection pipe is a pipe system used to protect power cables from the external environment. The traditional cable protection tube is made of metal material, which has some problems such as heavy weight, easy corrosion and poor insulation performance. Carbon fiber composites with light weight, high strength and good insulation properties can effectively solve these problems.

In addition, carbon fiber composites also have corrosion and wear resistance, which can extend the service life of cable protection tubes and reduce maintenance costs.

New energy vehicle

As the global demand for environmental protection and sustainable development increases, the demand for new energy vehicles is also growing. The use of carbon fiber composites can significantly improve the performance and efficiency of new energy vehicles.

Compared with traditional metal materials, carbon fiber composite materials play a more important role in the new energy vehicle industry. Its lightweight characteristics can improve energy efficiency, excellent mechanical properties can increase vehicle performance and safety, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance can cope with harsh working environments. With the continuous development of technology and cost reduction, carbon fiber composite materials will play a more important role in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles.

In the medical device industry, the application of carbon fiber composite materials is also very extensive.

First, carbon fiber composite materials can be used to manufacture the shell and mechanism parts of medical devices, such as surgical instruments, orthotics for artificial joints, etc. The lightweight nature of carbon fiber composites can reduce the weight of medical devices and improve patient comfort and portability.

Secondly, carbon fiber composites can also be used to manufacture medical fibers and stent materials, such as heart stents and vascular stents. The high strength and biocompatibility of carbon fiber composites make them an ideal material choice to provide better therapeutic results and durability.

Industrial equipment

The industrial equipment industry is an important part of the manufacturing industry, and carbon fiber composites play an important role in the industry.

First, carbon fiber composites can be used to make structural parts and components for industrial equipment. Its high strength and stiffness can improve the structural strength and stability of the equipment, while reducing the overall weight and improving the operating efficiency of the equipment.

Secondly, carbon fiber composites can also be used for wear and corrosion resistant parts of manufacturing equipment, such as pump shells, valves and drive shafts. The wear and corrosion resistance of carbon fiber composite materials enables it to maintain good working condition in harsh working environments and extend the service life of equipment.
