1. Advantages of carbon fiber

Carbon fiber is an excellent polymer material composed of high-strength carbon fiber filaments and epoxy resin and other materials. It has the following advantages:

1. Light weight: The specific gravity of carbon fiber is only 1.6g/cm³, which is 1/4 of steel and 1/2 of aluminum alloy. It is very light and can reduce the weight of the entire structure.

2. High strength: The strength of carbon fiber is higher than that of steel. Its tensile strength can reach 4900MPa. It also has very good impact resistance and fatigue resistance. It is an excellent structural material.

3. Corrosion resistance: Since carbon fiber is mainly composed of carbon elements, it has certain corrosion resistance and will not be corroded by various environments such as oxidation corrosion and water corrosion.

4. Long life: Carbon fiber has very good fatigue resistance and its life is relatively long.

5. Good processability: Carbon fiber can be cut, covered and processed as needed, and can be made into different forms.

2. Application of carbon fiber in various fields

Due to the above advantages, carbon fiber is widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobile, sports equipment, construction and other fields. The following introduces its application:

1. Aerospace field

High-strength and lightweight materials are needed in aerospace, and carbon fiber is the best choice. It can be used to make various structural parts such as aircraft, rockets, satellites, etc., which can reduce weight and improve performance, while also reducing fuel consumption and reducing environmental pollution.

2. Automobile field

Carbon fiber can be used in the manufacture of automotive parts, such as body, door, seat, wheel hub and other parts. The use of carbon fiber can reduce the weight of the car, improve the fuel consumption rate and acceleration performance of the car, and also improve the safety performance of the car.

3. Sports equipment field

Carbon fiber materials are also widely used in various sports equipment, such as golf clubs, bicycles, skis, kayaks,watersport,riggers,paddles, etc., which can reduce the quality of equipment and improve the use experience of athletes.

4. Construction field

Carbon fiber can also be used in the construction field, such as using carbon fiber to strengthen the foundation and strengthen the structure. In earthquake, flood rescue and other occasions, carbon fiber can also play a very good role
