Carbon fiber composite material is a composite material with superior performance. Its main features are light weight, high strength, and good fatigue resistance. In addition, due to its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, easy processing and other characteristics, it is widely used in aerospace, automotive, unmanned aircraft and other fields. Due to the complexity of the carbon fiber production process and the relatively high price, all of them are rare in daily life. In particular, high-performance carbon fiber is currently used only in the military, aerospace, and other scientific and technological fields due to the limitations of foreign technical barriers and materials. . Such as new fighter jets, rockets, guided weapons, and military shelters all have carbon fiber.

Carbon fiber material is a kind of high-performance emerging material. Due to its excellent material properties such as light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, many fields want to use carbon fiber composite materials instead of traditional materials to improve the overall performance of the product. However, many customers find that the cost of using carbon fiber is much higher than that of traditional materials after they have contacted the manufacturers of carbon fiber products. They often do not understand why carbon fiber composite materials are so expensive. The following Shandong Intelli new materials will be introduced to you.
First, carbon fiber itself is expensive
The monopoly of carbon fiber production technology is in Japan, the United States, and other developed countries. Since it involves the defense industry, it has always imposed a strict technical blockade on China. In the past, carbon fiber basically could not be made domestically. Through the support of national policies and the efforts of domestic enterprises, carbon fiber in China has been able to mass produce carbon filaments below T800, but the product quality is somewhat inferior to that of Nissan. T800 products can only be produced in small quantities in China. T800 and above and M series cannot be produced in China. Raw silk materials are monopolized by foreign countries and even banned, so the prices are relatively high. In addition, the carbon fiber material itself is more expensive, and the process is very complicated, so the carbon fiber precursor price is not cheap. At present, low-end carbon fiber can be suppressed by domestic production and low-cost foreign industries. The price of raw silk is much lower than before, but good carbon fiber materials are still high-priced products.

Second, carbon fiber composite materials expensive
Carbon fiber yarns must be composite materials in order to be processed into the desired products. Carbon fiber yarns need to be made into cloths, and they must be combined with resin to make prepregs. The production of carbon fiber products requires high temperature curing, vacuum introduction, autoclave and other production processes. The production process is very complex, requires high precision, and requires high technical personnel. In the development and design of carbon fiber products, carbon fiber plies, strength tests, etc. require a lot of experiments, such as salt spray resistance, corrosion resistance, wave-through rate tests, etc., as well as the need to develop high-precision molds, which directly increase the overall cost of the product. Some carbon fiber products require high temperature resistance and high strength, and the selection of resins and fiber types will also increase the price of carbon fiber products.
At present, the carbon fiber market is a new industry, many products are in the pre-research phase, and there are fewer standardized products. As a result, the overall cost of R&D, design, and experimentation is included in the cost of the product, so the price of carbon fiber products is high. For products that reach a certain order quantity, the price/performance ratio is still relatively cost-effective. Customers with carbon fiber product requirements can interface with Intel's new materials technology to make the domestic carbon fiber industry faster and more mature.

However, carbon fiber composite materials are expensive, but they still have great advantages. The carbon fiber composite materials produced by Xiangsheng Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd. are used in various fields and can improve product performance, such as the automotive industry, and can reduce vehicle weight. , Reduce energy consumption and increase overall vehicle strength. X-ray transmission performance is superior to any other material, and it is currently a better-applied material. In the aerospace field, it has an unparalleled advantage.
