Carbon fiber composites have a variety of excellent properties and are widely used in many fields. The following are some common application fields and related cases:
Aerospace Field
-
Structural materials for aircraft: such as the main wings, tail wings of an aircraft; the exhaust cones of a rocket; the fairings of a missile weapon; the load-bearing structures of an artificial satellite, etc. For example, the main wings of the Boeing 777x aircraft are made of carbon fiber composites.
Automotive Field
-
Body structure: such as the frame and body panels, which can reduce the weight of the vehicle body. For example, the BMW i3 electric vehicle uses a carbon fiber composite body.
-
Components: including engine hoods, fenders, etc. The wheels made of carbon fiber composites can meet the requirements of vehicle wheels.
-
Battery box: used in new energy vehicles, which can improve the impact resistance.
Rail Transit Field
It can be used to manufacture the body of a new generation of high-speed rail trains, making the train lighter.
Sports and Leisure Field
-
Bats and racket frames: such as golf clubs, tennis rackets, etc., which can reduce the weight of sports equipment. For example, a carbon fiber golf club weighs only about 50g.
-
Bicycles: They have a beautiful appearance and a modern technological feel, and are lightweight.
Maritime Field
It can be used to manufacture key components of civilian new concept boats and military ships. For example, the hull structure of a Swedish naval frigate adopts a carbon fiber composite sandwich structure.
Medical Device Field
It can be used to make medical bed boards, X-ray tables, etc., and can also protect patients from X-ray damage. For example, the ray transmittance of medical equipment made of carbon fiber composites is as high as 97% or more.
Industrial Field
-
Carbon fiber tubes can be used as rollers and are widely used in industries such as printing and papermaking, which can improve production efficiency.
-
It can be used to make instrument cabin brackets with obvious weight reduction effects.
-
It can be used to make table tennis tables with advantages such as being lightweight and beautiful.
Other Fields
Such as building reinforcement, wind turbine blades, power cables, etc. For example, carbon fiber composites can be used for the structural reinforcement and repair of buildings.
