High Strength Round Carbon Fiber Tubing 3K High Pressure Resistance

High Pressure Resistance High Strength Carbon Fiber Tubing 3K Tubes

Due to their unique properties, carbon fiber tubes are used in numerous applications over traditional materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium.

Features are:

• High strength and stiffness with lightweight
• Excellent fatigue resistance
• Dimensional stability: Low to Zero CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion)

LIJIN can provide an extensive range of high-performance, lightweight composite tubing for use in a wide variety of industries and applications. These lightweight, composite tubes exhibit outstanding strength, durability, and rigidity. They deliver excellent tensile strength characteristics compared to conventional structural metals and are a first choice in a variety of performance applications.

Whether it's aesthetic variations or superb mechanical properties, we've got the carbon fiber tubes for you!

The first use of carbon fiber in high performance goes back to 1960-1970. It became popular very quickly in every technical area where lightness and strength were primary requirements.

Carbon fiber originates from thermal pyrolysis in a controlled oven where a material called precursor is strongly warmed up at a temperature of about 2000° C in an inert gas atmosphere to produce graphite.

Then other heat treatments modify the final properties of the fibers, for example warming up at temperatures lower than 2000°C gives you a more strength material, whereas with higher temperatures you'll get a more expensive carbon fiber but with a higher Elastic Modulus (Young's modulus).

This is why today there are many kinds of carbon fibers that, even if they're similar, leads to products with different prices and performances.

The carbon fibers previously obtained are lately drowned in epoxy resin (called the matrix) that acts as a binder, allowing the fibers to work together and to distribute the strain uniformly to each one of them.

As you can guess this matrix has a primary role and it has been studied and improved in the last years, like the nanocomposite fillers inside of it.
