Carbon Fiber

Every material has a limit to the amount of force that can be applied to try to compress items together. A material’s capacity to bear compressive forces without breaking is determined by its compressive strength. For structural materials including carbon fiber composites, steel, and wood, compressive strength is an essential characteristic. The risk of failure … Read more

Unlike woven carbon fibers which consist of regular weaves, forged Carbon fibers are made from small chopped Carbon fiber elements which are scattered across the volume of the material leaving irregular pattern and direction. The finished material’s surface can have looks of chipped marble floor tiles and many other varieties. Manufacturing process: The process of … Read more

Most carbon fiber products in the CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) industry are formed from a combination of fibers, sheets, strands, nanotubes and bound together by the medium that is resin. The resin not only binds the reinforcement matter together, but is also a determinator of the overall strength of the finished product. Some of … Read more

After the fabrication process, the parts produced may require surface finishing or treatment depending on their consequent use or applications. The parts to be worked upon may typically be any type of carbon fiber products including but not limited to carbon fiber sheets, tubes or rods. Achievement of targeted surface quality of carbon fiber parts … Read more
