Carbon Fiber Material Properties

Carbon fiber is mainly composed of carbon elements. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, heat conduction and corrosion resistance. Orientation has high strength and modulus. Carbon fiber has a low density, so its specific strength and specific modulus are high. The main purpose of carbon fiber is to compound with resin, metal, ceramics and carbon as a reinforcing material to manufacture advanced composite materials. Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites have the highest specific strength and specific modulus among existing engineering materials.
The diameter of carbon fiber is only 5 microns, equivalent to one tenth to one-twelfth of a hair, but its strength is more than four times that of aluminum alloy.
