I Events

With the development of advanced composite materials, the demand for carbon fiber has surged, detonating the global carbon fiber crisis in recent years. Major carbon fiber manufacturers have expanded rapidly and expanded their production capacity. The current world carbon fiber output has reached more than 40,000 tons/year. With the continuous expansion of carbon fiber application fields, the market demand for carbon fiber is increasing day by day. In 2020, the global carbon fiber demand will exceed 100,000 tons, and the world carbon fiber demand will increase rapidly at a rate of about 13% per year.

Application prospects of carbon fiber

Carbon fiber, because of its excellent properties such as high strength, high modulus, low density, resistance to rapid cold, rapid heat, acid resistance, oil resistance, and corrosion resistance, is known as the "Crown Pearl" in the field of new materials. It is used in aerospace and rail transportation. , Ships, vehicles, new energy, and many other indispensable key materials in high-end manufacturing fields.

Carbon fiber is a resin-based composite material with a wide range of technologies and uses. It is a carbon fiber composite material compounded by various molding processes with carbon fiber as a reinforcing material and synthetic resin as a matrix material. It is a new type of high-performance structural material.

Carbon fiber is more than ten times stronger than steel, has a lower density than aluminum alloy, and has many valuable electricals, thermal, and mechanical properties. It has become an indispensable new type in the development of modern aerospace and other cutting-edge technologies. Material. The aircraft made of composite materials made of carbon fiber and plastic is not only lightweight but also consumes less power, has high thrust and low noise; the use of carbon fiber to make electronic computer disks can increase the storage capacity and computing speed of the computer; use carbon fiber reinforced plastics The manufacture of spacecraft such as satellites and rockets has high mechanical strength and low mass, which can save a lot of fuel.

Therefore, many developed countries do not hesitate to invest a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to research, develop, improve and improve carbon fiber, so that its quality is continuously improved, varieties, models and specifications are increasing day by day, and the application field is expanding.

Carbon fiber non-woven fabric

Carbon fiber can be used to make non-woven fabrics, and carbon fiber cloth can be used for tensile, shear, and seismic reinforcement of structural members. This material can be used together with the supporting impregnating glue to form a carbon fiber composite material, which can form a complete carbon fiber cloth sheet reinforcement system. It is used to deal with the increase of the building load, the change of the engineering use function, the aging of materials, the concrete strength level is lower than the design value, the treatment of structural cracks, the repair of service components in harsh environments, and the reinforcement of protection.

Specific applications include

1. Aerospace: fuselage, rudder, rocket engine shell, missile diffuser, solar panel, etc.

2. Sports equipment: auto parts, motorcycle parts, fishing poles, baseball bats, skis, speedboats, badminton rackets, etc.

3. Industry: engine parts, fan blades, driveshafts, and electrical components, etc.

4. Fire protection: It is suitable for the production of special high-end fire protection clothing for the military, fire protection, steel mills, etc.

5. Construction.

Rolls Royce in the loom

With its unique advantages, carbon fiber cloth has a pivotal position in the high-tech field, and it is the future development trend of non-woven fabrics. So, how to make carbon fiber cloth?

Carbon fiber is a special material and requires a "rapier loom" specially adapted for the carbon fiber to be woven. The rapier loom seems to be performing ordinary weaving, but it produces carbon fiber non-woven fabrics with scientific and technological gold content, which has the effect of turning stones into gold.

Suntech intelligent Rapier loom integrates intelligent technology and special fabric textiles, which not only meets the demand for special fabric production but also greatly improves production efficiency and production quality. At present, Suntech intelligent rapier loom can be used for the production of a variety of special fabrics. , Will also be used in the production of carbon fiber non-woven fabrics in the future to help the development of carbon fiber.
