CARBON FIBER REINFORCEMENT FABRICS USES IN AEROSPACE INDUSTRY

Overview - Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Fabrics:

Before Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Fabrics were used in airplanes, conventionally, aluminum constituted almost 65% of the weight of an airplane, which resulted in lower fuel efficacy, lesser load bearing capacity and higher cost.

Enterprises in the aerospace production industry then started seeking out ways for reducing weight, increasing fuel efficiency and improving overall system performance. While metal and metal alloys are still integral to aerospace design, the quest for innovative, lightweight materials eventually led to carbon fiber composites. In this context, carbon fiber reinforced polymers are rapidly emerging as the material of choice for the aerospace production sector.

Properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Fabrics:

There are several reasons why carbon fabrics are finding wide spread acceptance in mission-critical applications in the aerospace production sector:

• High Strength to weight ratio
• Rigidity
• Corrosion Resistance
• Electrical Conductivity
• Fatigue Resistance
• Good tensile strength
• Fire Resistance
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion
• Non-toxic
• Biologically inactive

The physical strength, toughness and lightweight of carbon fiber make it an appropriate raw material in making parts or components for aircraft, satellite equipment, etc. But perhaps the most important property is its low coefficient of thermal expansion resulting in high dimensional stability; this means that the CFRP component doesn’t shrink or extend easily. It has low tendency to expand when heated and to contract when cooled.
