engineering team. For every client we offer the perfect production
technology that meets their needs and ensures an end product of
high quality.
Benefits:
1, Material Comparison
Composite materials offer a distinct advantage over metals in
stiffness, strength, and weight.
2, Design Freedom
Traditional sheet metal parts are processed on press brakes and
stamping machines resulting in limited design freedom. Designs are
limited to being prismatic and not aesthetically pleasing. In
addition, localized yielding on bend edges in sheet metal parts can
be starting points for cracks and could lead to unexpected part
failure. Designers are also limited to using a single thickness
throughout a part because of manufacturing reasons. This often
leads to heavier parts. To bring down weight and remove material in
regions of low stresses, additional manufacturing costs are endured
and the amount of wasted material is increased.
Composite parts offer designers more freedom as molds can easily be
produced to allow curved surfaces with no significant increase in
cost. In addition, designers have control over the number of plies
in particular regions allowing for pad-up in regions of
concentrated stress and a reduced number of plies in areas of low
stresses. This produces no significant increase in the costs
required to manufacture the part and reduces the material
consumption.
Application of carbon fibre products:
Industry | Introduce |
Aerospace | Carbon fiber is the material basis of the modern aerospace industry
and is irreplaceable. The application of carbon fiber composite
materials in spacecraft has matured day by day, and it is an
indispensable key material for spacecraft to achieve lightweight,
miniaturization and high performance. The lightweight and
high-strength properties of carbon fiber are widely used in the
body of military helicopters, fighters and UAVs, as well as the
main wing and tail, brake pads and skins, etc., which have played a
significant weight reduction effect. At present, carbon fiber
materials are used in military aircraft. The application has
developed from non-load bearing and secondary bearing structure to
main bearing structure, and the coverage is getting larger and
larger. |
Automobile industry | The British Material Systems Laboratory's research on the use of materials to reduce the weight of automobiles and reduce production costs shows that for every 10% reduction in automobile quality, fuel consumption can be reduced by 6%. Among the existing materials, carbon fiber composites' lightweight effect is the best, coupled with the rapid development of automobile design and composite material technology, all these have made the application speed of carbon fiber composites in the field of automobile manufacturing far exceed people's expectations. |
Medical devices | In the field of medical devices, because of the full transmittance of carbon fiber composites to X-rays, they are used to manufacture mobile platforms for X-ray inspection instruments. Due to the excellent mechanical properties of carbon fiber composites, they are used in the manufacture of medical devices for orthopedics and organ transplantation, as well as for the manufacture of rehabilitation products such as prostheses and orthotics. |
Rail transport | Lightweight is a key technology to reduce the energy consumption of
train operation. Rail trains made of metal have high body strength,
but their mass and hardness are high. Carbon fiber composite is a
high-quality material for the body of a new generation of
high-speed rail trains. It can not only make the rail train body
lightweight, but also improve high-speed running performance,
reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and
enhance safety. At present, the application trends of carbon fiber
composites in the field of rail vehicles include: extending from
non-load-bearing structural parts such as car interiors and
interior equipment to load-bearing components such as car bodies
and frames; The development of large-scale structures such as,
driver’s cabs, and vehicle bodies; hybrid structures of metal and
composites are the mainstay, and the amount of carbon fiber
composites has been greatly increased. |
Military industry | Modern warfare weapons and equipment are developing rapidly toward low energy consumption, large payload, stealth, and high mobility, and higher requirements are also placed on the materials used to manufacture weapons. Carbon fiber composite materials, known as "black gold", are widely used in national defense and military industries due to their excellent material properties. The use of carbon fiber materials to create better-performing weapons and equipment has long become a new battlefield where military powers compete. |
Textile machinery | There are two main problems in the development of textile machinery in China: one is the low operating speed of textile machinery equipment, and the other is that the average energy consumption of the equipment is relatively high. In order to further reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency, textile machinery began to gradually use carbon fiber materials in parts. Carbon fiber is light in weight, but high strength. It is an ideal material for light weight of medium and high-end machinery. Olymspan applies lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber composites to textile machinery, which will vigorously promote the equipment of textile machinery enterprises to move towards low cost, low energy consumption and high efficiency. |
Sports industry | Sports and leisure products are the first application areas for
carbon fiber composite materials to enter the market. With the
improvement of cost performance, this field has formed a stable
demand for carbon fiber composite materials. Skis, ski sticks, ice
hockey sticks, tennis rackets and bicycles are typical applications
of carbon fiber composite materials in sports and leisure products |
Industrial equipment | Carbon fiber composite parts are lightweight, thin, antistatic and
anti-electromagnetic. They are widely used in electronic
information products such as notebook computers, liquid crystal
projectors, cameras, optical lenses and large liquid crystal
display panels. In addition, the carbon fiber composites has
excellent tear resistance and can also be used to manufacture
bearings, rollers, pipes and other products. Its strength is the
same as that of steel products, but the quality can be greatly
reduced. |
