Both carbon fiber boards and glass fiber boards are new types of boards with relatively light weight.
Their main components are carbon fiber composite materials and glass fiber composite materials.
These two composite materials are essentially different. The two boards made What are the differences in performance and usage?
1.Different materials: carbon fiber and glass fiber are essentially different. Glass fiber is a material made of glass through high-temperature melting, wire drawing, winding, weaving and other processes, and then processed with resin materials. Composite materials; and carbon fiber is a polymer material made of fiber after high-temperature oxidation at thousands of degrees. Carbon fiber has ordinary, high-strength, high-modulus and high-strength high-modulus types. The carbon fiber composite material made of carbon fiber has a stable physical structure.
2.Different uses:glass fibers can be used to make reinforced plastics, and the glass fiber boards made can be used in many industries, and can also be used in military equipment, such as making signal shielding parts. Carbon fiber panels have better performance, so they will be used more widely in the field of industrial manufacturing, such as aircraft structural materials, high-speed iron door panels, automobile bodies, industrial robot arms, drone casings, etc.
3.Different characteristics: The main mechanical properties of carbon fiber boards and glass fiber boards come more from carbon fiber and glass fiber itself. Fiberglass has high tensile strength, high modulus of elasticity, high impact strength, good chemical resistance, low water absorption and good heat resistance.
Compared with glass fiber, carbon fiber material has a slightly higher density, but the two core properties of tensile strength and elastic modulus are several times higher, plus acid and alkali resistance, impact resistance, and creep resistance are better. , the overall mechanical properties are better than those of glass fibers.
4.Different prices: The price of carbon fiber boards is higher than that of glass fiber boards, which is not only determined by performance, but also by many factors such as manufacturing process and market. The production of carbon fiber boards is more difficult, the yield rate is lower than that of glass fiber boards, and the price is several times that of glass fiber boards.
Although the overall performance of carbon fiber board is better than that of glass fiber, due to the current low production capacity and high price of carbon fiber board, it cannot completely replace glass fiber in a short time.
