What are the advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber tubes

Carbon fiber tube has extremely high strength and its own weight is very low, so it has a very high performance advantage in application. At the same time, carbon fiber tube is also a product that is consulted more in reality. Everyone will care about it during the consultation. The advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber tubes. This article will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber tubes.

Advantages of carbon fiber tubes

The performance advantages of broken fiber cone tubes are related to two aspects. One is that it has a lot to do with the carbon fiber material itself, and the other is that it has a lot to do with our production technology. In terms of materials, carbon fiber tubes made of high-performance materials must have better strength performance. The production technology has a lot to do with the lamination of carbon fiber prepreg. Normally there will be ±45/0/±4510/±45%/±45 and 0/145%/0/±45 % layering method makes the overall stability of the carbon fiber tube better.

1. Light weight. Compared with other pipes, the density of carbon fiber materials is extremely low. The density of carbon fiber raw materials is only 1.6gycm3, which makes the weight of the carbon fiber pipe itself extremely low, making it lighter to use. For example, if you apply it to a robotic arm, the energy consumption will be even lower.

2. High strength performance, the tensile strength of carbon fiber materials can reach 350OMPa, which leads to the fact that carbon fiber pipes can also have very good tensile strength in actual performance, and can have very good application advantages in terms of load-bearing capacity. In addition, although carbon fiber is a brittle material, its bending strength and shear performance are very high. For example, the +45″ cross-laying of the ply makes the shear resistance higher, and the shear resistance of the carbon fiber tube can reach 8GPa , which makes the carbon fiber tube not easy to be bent.

3. Very good corrosion resistance. The carbon fiber tows in the carbon fiber material are themselves oxidized at high temperatures and have very high acid and alkali resistance. This also makes the carbon fiber pipe have good corrosion resistance and is not prone to corrosion. rust.

4. Good fatigue resistance. Carbon fiber has the advantage of very good fatigue resistance. It can be used for a long time and is not prone to fatigue. This makes the entire carbon fiber tube product deformed very little and is more convenient to use.

Disadvantages of carbon fiber tubes

1. Brittle products, the damaged cup is not easy to repair. We mentioned above that the carbon fiber tube has high strength and performance, but the carbon fiber material product is still a brittle material. Repair, unlike metal products can be repaired.

2. The price is expensive. Compared with metal aluminum alloy pipes and steel pipes, carbon fiber pipes are still more expensive. On the one hand, the material price of carbon fiber pipes is expensive, and on the other hand, the production cost of carbon fiber pipes is compared with metal pipes. , much more expensive.

3. Machining stability is not as good as that of metal pipes, because carbon fiber is a composite material, the interior is carbon fiber tow, and there is resin on it. There will be burrs during machining. In addition, in order to ensure production efficiency, carbon fiber pre-processing is often selected. The impregnation is used to produce carbon fiber tubes, which may cause delamination during machining.

4. High temperature resistance is not enough. The high temperature resistance of carbon fiber has little impact on the fiber material, but has a great impact on the resin matrix material. Therefore, the high temperature resistance of the carbon fiber tube is often less than 20 degrees Celsius. If there is a higher temperature requirement, There is no way to choose carbon fiber tubes.

The above is the interpretation of a series of knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber tubes. I believe that after reading it, everyone has a better understanding of the content of carbon fiber tubes. If you need carbon fiber tubes, you are welcome to come to consult.
