What is carbon fiber block? 

Some customers need materials with light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, we will recommend him carbon fiber block. Some customers need a deep understanding of this material and come to it, but some people have such questions: what is carbon fiber block,and how is it made? Regarding this question, here I will answer your questions.

First,carbon fiber block is another different shape of sheet,usually it is thicker than the regular sheet,sometimes we also named it as carbon fiber sheet/plate/board. Let's back to carbon fiber-the raw material of carbon plate manufacturing. Carbon fiber is usually made from the pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile material. The current state of polyacrylonitrile molecules is a continuous alignment of long chains. When these long chains are heated under specific conditions, the molecules form side-to-side ladder-like polymers, and wide and narrow graphene sheets form, which merge together to create a single circular filament with about 93 percent carbon content.

The carbon fiber block is made of these carbon filaments and resin. First weave the raw silk into cloth, cut it into a suitable size, pre-impregnate it with resin, press it with a machine at high temperature, cool it firmly, and then do the surface treatment. Carbon fiber blocks can reinforce buildings, stick to the surface of products for decoration, and can also be CNC machined into other product parts.

The advantages of carbon fiber block

Carbon fiber blocks have many advantages, including high temperature resistance, friction resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, light weight, and large elastic modulus. It also has special properties that other materials do not have, such as excellent X-ray transmittance, which is more conducive to medical examination by doctors; the electromagnetic shielding effect is very good, and it is an ideal material for manufacturing stealth fighters for military use.

The application of carbon fiber block

In conclusion,carbon fiber block is typically chosen over traditional materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium because of the following properties: 

1.High strength and stiffness to weight

2.Excellent resistance to fatigue 

3.Dimensional stability 

4.Resistance to corrosion 

5.X-Ray transparency 

6.Chemical resistivity
