GR0462 Carbon Fiber Machined Product

Carbon Fiber Machined Product Description

Carbon Fiber Machined Product is a long and thin strand of fiber composed mostly of carbon atoms. As carbon atoms are bonded together in crystals within the fibers. As the carbon crystals are more or less formed parallel to the long axis of the fibers, the material is extremely strong for its size.

Thousands of carbon fibers,   usually 3k~12k for consumer products, are twisted together to form a yarn. These carbon fiber yarns are further fabricated or weave into carbon cloth, which is the foundation of most carbon fiber products that we can find on market. Then, carbon cloth would be combined with epoxy or other polymers and molded into different shapes for various applications. Carbon fiber materials are so strong that even materials made by lower grade carbon fibers, e.g. T300, have great strength if designed and manufactured in a proper way.

Carbon Fiber Machined Product Application

Carbon fiber parts are light weighted, compared with similar components made by metal.  Carbon fiber composite materials are used to make high-performance sports equipment, including bicycle frames, fishing rods, automobile body parts, frames for models, and more. High-quality carbon fiber materials are applied in aviation industries to replace traditional alloys.  

Carbon Fiber Machined Product Features

As the demand for carbon fiber parts continues to increase, working with carbon fiber machining experts has become exceedingly important. Carbon composites can break unpredictably, resulting in potential unrepairable results if not machined properly. Some benefits of machined carbon fiber parts include:

• Corrosion-resistant
• Non-toxic
• Non-flammable
• X-ray permeable
• Electrically conductive

Customization: These products can be manufactured to meet specific design, performance, and aesthetic requirements, ensuring that each component is tailored to the exact needs of the application.

Enhanced Performance: Carbon fiber's high stiffness and impact resistance contribute to improved performance in high-stress and high-performance environments.

Q3: How are Carbon Fiber Machined Products manufactured?

A3: The manufacturing process for carbon fiber machined products typically involves:

Material Selection: The appropriate carbon fiber material (sheet, prepreg, or composite) is selected based on the required performance characteristics.

Cutting and Preparation: The carbon fiber material is cut to the desired size or shape using tools such as a laser cutter, water jet, or band saw.

CNC Machining: Using CNC machines, the material is precisely cut, drilled, shaped, and finished to the required specifications. CNC machining provides high precision, making it ideal for complex geometries and tight tolerances.

Finishing: After machining, the product may be finished with processes like sanding, polishing, or coating to achieve the desired surface finish (matte, gloss, etc.).

Quality Control: All products undergo thorough quality control checks to ensure they meet the required specifications, including dimensional checks, strength testing, and surface finish evaluations.
