In today's market, the products of carbon fiber materials are becoming more and more popular. There are huge applications in the automotive industry, defense, and aviation industries. Many manufacturers use steel fiber as a new trend to manufacture steamed buns. Can you really distinguish it?
How to distinguish true and false, good and bad carbon fiber?
Many people know that carbon fiber has a quarter of the capital of steel and ten times the hardness of steel. Of course, it also has the impression of “old and old.” In fact, carbon fiber is cheap, expensive, and inferior.
In fact, carbon fiber is treated at high temperatures to make carbon fiber molecules "filamentous," and then "silk" is compiled into "cloth." How to compile carbon fiber filaments is an important part of their price and rigidity. We will not discuss in detail here. Now, you can understand this way - the same carbon fiber fabrics, different ways of preparation will have different effects, in other words, the more rare the pattern is compiled, it proves that its rigidity is stronger.
The exterior is mostly made of “twilled” carbon fiber cloth and resin glue. The texture of the fabric has a distinct layering and 3D effect. However, the surface is smooth when touched by hand, and there are not many stickers that simulate carbon fiber lines. Layering, if any, does not have the smooth feel of true carbon fiber. Of course, not all carbon fiber products have a textured surface, and carbon fiber parts made of carbon fiber unidirectional fabric have no lines, and may be used in the medical field, but we rarely see it. In addition, carbon fiber products are only black, and it is often the case that colored glass fibers or aramid fibers are mistakenly carbon fibers.
Carbon fiber is too "rigid" and aryl fiber is too "flexible". If two different kinds of fibers are woven together, the two fibers are intertwined to make them have complementary advantages, and thus have a "soft belt". The characteristics.
Although there are many finished carbon fiber products, it is said that there are only a few manufacturing plants around the world for the production of carbon filaments (it is said that there are two in the United States, one in Taiwan, and one in Japan). All the remodeling brands purchase carbon fiber fabrics of different densities in these factories (the density can be divided into 3K, 6K and 12K, for example, "3K" represents 1mm carbon fiber fabric containing 3,000 filaments), or it is suitable His own style of carbon fiber cloth, back to rely on their own experience to produce carbon fiber products, such as carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber tail, carbon fiber steering wheel and other components.
After understanding, we come to distinguish between true and false carbon fiber, the main factor to distinguish between true and false - must be the price, due to the complexity of the process of manufacturing carbon fiber, plus its own material costs are not cheap, so cheap certainly no good goods, if you buy Cheap carbon fiber finished products, then, you have a great chance to buy false carbon fiber products with mostly sticky paper and carbon fiber paint.
Second, the quality of carbon fibers can be visually determined. In simple terms, you have to check on some subtle areas or details. Because carbon fiber parts are laid out, glued, vacuum treated, and baked at high temperatures, any of the steps can affect the carbon fiber pattern. The sense of three-dimensionality, in order to achieve a better presentation, is to examine Master's manual skills, the details of the corners of the carbon fiber, the transition where they can be a good expression of carbon fiber clarity and silky degree.
In addition, some brands are "guess right." You don't know enough about carbon fiber products. They often add PU material in the middle to increase the thickness of carbon fiber. The simple method of identification is to observe the bottom of the carbon fiber. If the bottom is not carbon fiber, then it is not a carbon fiber component. Since the carbon fiber must be a common dark gray, if you see other colors, it is definitely a fake product. Of course, for products with very deep formulas, The carbon fiber content of the product can be identified in a "kick-bounce" manner, and the sound of the two is not the same.
      Carbon fiber products are expensive, so we must not be fooled easily and spend money. With regard to the above methods for distinguishing between true and false carbon fibers, we hope that everyone can read it carefully.
