Carbon Fiber Composites

Glass fibers continue to be among the most commonly used fibers in the manufacturing composites. Many composites that are made today, however, utilize carbon fiber. While carbon fiber is more expensive than glass fiber, it offers greater strength and is lighter in weight.

Carbon fiber composites are used in many fields. In the medical industry, bones used to be replaced or repaired with metal. Today, though, carbon fiber composites are utilized. You'll also find carbon fiber composites that are used in the development of medical diagnostic equipment.

Vacuum-made Carbon Fiber Composites

Carbon fiber composites can be made in a range of techniques. Simple composites that are not needed in large quantities can be manufactured using a vacuum bag. For faster processing, a compression mold can be used to produce carbon fiber composites. More intricate shapes of carbon fiber composites can be obtained through the use of other methods like using a filament winder.

The manufacturing process for carbon fiber composites, as well as the choice of the matrix and the reinforcement material, is guided by the particular design and purpose of the project.
