GR0459 Carbon Fiber Plate

Carbon Fiber Plate Description

Carbon fiber plates come in so many variations to fit a wide range of applications. A standard carbon fiber plate is an excellent replacement for aluminum plates when you need something lightweight and strong. The unidirectional plate is extra stiff in one direction and the high temp plate is good to 400°F+.

Carbon Fiber Plate Specification

Carbon Fiber Plate Application

Carbon fiber plate comes in thicknesses from 0.010” (0.25mm) up to 1.00” (25.4mm) to fit nearly any application. Standard twill and plain weave plates are an excellent choice for replacing aluminum or steel. Veneer plate is good for getting the real carbon fiber look without adding much weight.

Carbon Fiber Plate Packing

Our Carbon Fiber Plate is carefully handled during storage and transportation to preserve the quality of our product in its original condition.

Carbon Fiber Plate FAQs

Q1: How strong are Carbon Fiber Plates?

A1: Carbon fiber plates are extremely strong, with tensile strengths ranging from 500 MPa to 7,000 MPa depending on the grade of the carbon fiber and the manufacturing process. The strength-to-weight ratio of carbon fiber is much higher than that of metals like steel or aluminum, which makes carbon fiber plates ideal for applications requiring both strength and lightweight properties.

Q2: Is Carbon Fiber Plate heat resistant?

A2: Yes, carbon fiber plates are highly heat resistant and can withstand temperatures up to 300°C to 600°C (572°F to 1,112°F) depending on the resin matrix used. In some high-performance applications, carbon fiber plates with specialized resins can tolerate even higher temperatures. This makes them ideal for use in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications where heat resistance is required.

Q3: Are Carbon Fiber Plates resistant to corrosion?

A3: Yes, carbon fiber plates are highly resistant to corrosion, which is one of the key reasons they are often used in marine, automotive, and aerospace applications. Unlike metals, carbon fiber does not rust or corrode when exposed to water, salt, or chemicals, making it ideal for use in harsh environments.
