What is Compression Molding in Carbon Fiber Manufacturing?

  In carbon fiber product manufacturing, compression molding is a versatile technology. The innovative process involves placing a pre-heated composite material into a mold cavity and applying pressure to compress and shape the material into the desired form, creating a wide range of carbon fiber products . This method is commonly used for the manufacturing of high-quality carbon fiber sheets, rods, tubes and parts. The carbon fiber parts are used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and sporting goods for creating lightweight and strong carbon fiber components. The carbon fiber industry relies on the molding process for parts of accurate dimension, superior mechanical properties of carbon fiber and excellent surface finish. The labor-intensive technology takes pride in versatility and accuracy. To explore the prospects of the technology it is essential understand the compression molding process and its applications in the composite industry. What is Compression Molding? ...

Do’s and Don’ts of Using Carbon Fiber Strengthening Materials

Image
Carbon fiber is reputed for weight-to-strength ratio that works exceptionally well in areas where you need strength without compromising on weight. Replacing traditional materials across industries, carbon fiber products are game-changing. Lending its positive attributes, especially its high tensile strength, carbon fiber strengthening materials, CFRP for short is an ideal material for reinforcing structures. Use of Carbon Fiber in Strengthening Materials Structural strengthening requires material that have a high strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional stiffness for precise control over structural deflection and vibration damping and also corrosion resistant. Carbon fiber products have these qualities but despite its many advantages, they have some limitations. Most importantly the application of the innovative composite for strengthening structures comes with a list of do’s and don’ts. If you are using carbon fiber laminate sheets to enhance the structural load-carrying capacity, ...
