Overview of carbon fiber composites in automotive applications
2023-05-23
01 Introduction Carbon fiber composites are high-performance composites made of resin, metal and ceramics as matrix and carbon fiber as reinforcement by advanced composite molding methods. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) is the main material used for automotive applications, which has a series of advantages such as low density, high modulus and high specific strength. Therefore, it is wide...

Characteristics, main products, properties and applications of carbon fiber composites
2023-05-30
1. Preface Carbon fiber refers to the high strength and high modulus fiber with carbon content above 90%. The high temperature resistance is the first among all chemical fibers. It is made of acrylic and viscose fiber as raw material and oxidized and carbonized by high temperature. Material characteristics: carbon fiber is mainly composed of carbon elements, with high temperature resistance, anti-...

How to mold long fiber reinforced thermoplastics?
2023-06-07
Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT) are being used for injection molding applications with high mechanical properties. While LFRT technology can provide good strength, stiffness and impact properties, the processing method of this material plays an important role in determining what properties can be achieved in the final part. In order to successfully mold LFRTs, an understanding of some ...

New choice of environmentally friendly materials - plastic instead of steel lightweight long-fiber reinforced composite materials Q & A
2023-06-27
●What are the benefits of using LFRT materials? Benefits for business owners and factories. a. Plastic instead of steel: In the past, metal was the material of choice for many industrial products because of its high strength and heat resistance, but the disadvantage is that it is not suitable for molding complex shapes. Long glass fiber reinforced material (L.F.R.T) has the most similar performanc...

Typical applications of long glass fiber reinforced plastics in the automotive industry
2023-07-04
Long fibre reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) is the most commonly used base resin for LFT, followed by PP, PA and also PBT, PPS, PPA, TPU and other resins. It is worth mentioning that different fibers are needed for different resins to achieve better results. Development of LFT In 1980, Polymer Composites Corporation (PCI), USA, was the first to propose the theoretical design concept of LFT, and con...

A brief look at some of the key factors that make carbon fiber composites a viable alternative to traditional materials
2023-07-20
Nowadays, we find new uses for carbon fiber almost every day. These tiny filaments, which are currently available in a wide variety of functional shapes, have a diameter of one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. The fibers are processed into fabrics that can be used for molding subsequent molding processes and formed into tubes and sheets for construction, or as conventional threads for fiber wi...
