Carbon Fiber
What is Carbon Fiber?
Carbon fiber is a reinforced composite material made up of long, thin filaments bonded to carbon atoms. Combined with resins, we achieve a strong, low-mass thermoset material.
Carbon fiber offers many notable benefits. It has high tensile strength and stiffness, excellent corrosion resistance, reduced thermal expansion, and is lightweight and nontoxic.
Carbon Fiber properties include:
Specific Gravity— 1.8 to 2.2
Maximum temperature — 260° Fahrenheit
Shore D hardness — >85
Flexural yield strength — >140,000 psi
Compressive yield strength — >106,000 psi
Izod impact strength, notched — 7.6
What forms of Carbon Fiber are Available?
Carbon fiber filled materials are available in various shapes and sizes, including:
• Sheets
• Tubes
• Rods
All forms can be used in projects requiring various dimensions, lengths, diameters and thicknesses. If you have specific project requirements, please contact us for a consultation. We will coordinate with you on the best shape and size specifications for your project.
