Carbon fiber composite materials, known as black gold, show very high performance advantages in terms of lightweight. The strength can reach several times that of other materials, but the density of the same volume is only one-fifth of the metal material steel, because Due to its high performance, the price is a bit more expensive. Some people have faked carbon fiber. Among them, water-transfer printed carbon fiber is more common. This article will tell you how to distinguish between real and fake carbon fiber.
What is carbon fiber material?
Our common carbon fiber products now are actually composite materials that are composed of long fiber tapered wire bundles and matrix materials. The most commonly used carbon fiber precursors are PAN-based carbon fibers, which are high-performance through processes such as high temperature, oxidation, and graphitization. Carbon fiber tow has a very low density, but its strength is very high. It has been unanimously recognized by the lightweight industry. The density of carbon fiber material is only 1.g/cm3, but its strength is as high as 350OMPa, which is far higher than what we usually see. Metal material products, carbon fiber products produced through carbon fiber materials also have very high strength properties and excellent material properties, much higher than metal materials, and have become synonymous with high-performance materials, so we are in many high-precision In the high-end field, carbon fiber material products have always been seen. For example, products with lightweight applications such as carbon fiber tailfins on cars, carbon fiber steering wheels, carbon fiber seats, and aircraft wings.
What is water transfer carbon fiber?
Water transfer printed carbon fiber cannot be regarded as carbon fiber. It is fake carbon fiber. This is the pattern that many people want. But if they want a low price and do not pursue high-strength performance, they will choose this product, such as those on cars. The parts are made of this plated carbon fiber pattern, which is loved by many users who pursue individual needs.
Water transfer printing actually uses water transfer printing technology to float the color film with anthracene texture on the water, and then impregnate the product that requires carbon fiber stranding, and then pick up a layer of carbon fiber texture film and cover it on the product. See It looks like the texture of carbon fiber products. In fact, the surface texture is the same, and the performance is very different.
How to distinguish water transfer carbon fiber from real carbon fiber?
In terms of the difference between real carbon fiber and water transfer carbon fiber, it is actually easy to distinguish. On the one hand, you can look at the feel. The feel of carbon fiber has a very good grip, and the textures are real.
The internal fiber bundles are woven together, and water transfer printing is actually the same as when we print a piece of paper, and the difference is still easy to spot.
On the other hand, it can be distinguished from heavy stars. The density of carbon fiber materials is low and the mass stars are very light. If you want to use fake carbon fiber, the density of the material is very important. If you use low density, the strength of the material will be Low. If high-strength materials are used, the density will be high, so we can measure it from the weight. Normal carbon fiber products, such as pipes, are 2mm thick and are difficult to press with fingers.
In addition, there is another way to determine it by burning it. If it is water transfer carbon fiber, the filling will be exposed after burning it, but for real carbon fiber, there is no problem if it is burned with a normal open flame.
After reading these, you can basically understand that water transfer printed carbon fiber products are still very different from our real carbon fiber. I would also like to remind everyone to look for high-quality carbon fiber product manufacturers when purchasing carbon fiber products. You cannot simply It depends on the price, because the price of water transfer printing is relatively low, so it is easy to be fooled. At this time, you should still choose a high-quality carbon fiber product manufacturer, and we are a very good choice.
