What is the aluminum equivalent of carbon fiber composites?

As we all know, X-ray machines have been widely used in the medical and health field. It uses the characteristics of short wavelength and the strong penetrating ability of X-rays to diagnose and treat various parts of the human body and other organisms.

However, the accompanying side effect is that X-rays can kill biological cells, which will bring certain harm to human health. To obtain the necessary diagnostic information and minimize its harm, in recent years, intensifying plates or papers have been added to both sides of the medical film box to improve the ability of the film to be exposed to weak X-rays. , this technical measure has been widely used.

With the development of aerospace, aviation, and cutting-edge technology,carbon fiber reinforced resin composites (CFRP) not only have the characteristics of high specific strength, high specific modulus, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability, but also are very easy to penetrate X-rays, so they are widely used in medical treatment. equipment has been applied. In other words, the application of carbon fiber composite materials can not only reduce the power of the X-ray machine, but also obtain the necessary diagnostic information, so that the purpose of diagnosis can be achieved with a small dose of X-rays, and the harm of X-rays to patients and medical staff can be minimized. degree. The absorption rate of carbon fiber composites to X-rays is only 1/5 of that of aluminum. In other words, carbon fiber composites are easily transparent to X-rays.

Therefore, carbon fiber composite materials can replace aluminum for X-ray machines and related components.

On the other hand, the high specific strength and high specific modulus of carbon fiber composite materials are unmatched by metal materials such as aluminum. Therefore, the equipment can be developed towards lightweight, miniaturization, and thin layer, and it can also be matched with modern electronic technology to improve the sensitivity, mobility, and versatility of the equipment.
