Carbon-Aramid Hybrid Fabric

Carbon Fiber-Aramid Hybrid Fabric is a composite fabric made by mixing and weaving carbon fiber and aramid fiber (such as Kevlar fiber). It combines two fibers of different properties to achieve excellent comprehensive performance and is widely used in the field of high-performance products.

Main ingredients

Carbon fiber: Carbon fiber is a high-strength, high-modulus fiber with extremely high rigidity and tensile strength, but it is relatively brittle and easily breaks during impact or stretching. The advantages of carbon fiber include:

• High strength and light weight:It is stronger than steel, but its density is much lower than steel, so it can significantly reduce the weight of the product.
• Good conductivity:Carbon fiber has good conductivity, so it can be used as a conductive material in some applications.
• Corrosion resistance: It is not easily corroded by most chemicals.
• High temperature resistance:It can still maintain high stability in high temperature environments.

Aramid fiber: Aramid fiber (such as Kevlar) has good high temperature resistance, tensile resistance, and cut resistance. Its main advantages include:

• Ultra-high strength: The tensile strength of aramid fiber is very high, even more than 5 times that of steel.
• High temperature resistance: Aramid materials are usually resistant to high temperatures and can remain stable at 250-350°C, suitable for high temperature working environments.
• Impact resistance:It has good impact resistance and toughness.
• Chemical corrosion resistance:It can resist the erosion of most chemicals.
• Lightweight:It is light in weight and suitable for reducing the weight of the overall material.

Characteristics of mixed fabrics

• Comprehensive performance:The mixed use of carbon fiber and aramid fiber can complement each other and overcome the shortcomings of each when used alone. For example, carbon fiber provides high rigidity and strength, while aramid fiber provides good impact toughness and tensile resistance. The design of mixed fabrics can adjust the proportion of different fibers according to the needs of the application to achieve an ideal performance balance.
• Impact and tear resistance:The addition of aramid fiber improves the impact and tear resistance of the material, making this blended fabric more durable when impacted.
• High rigidity and high toughness coexist:Carbon fiber gives the blended fabric a higher rigidity, while aramid fiber improves toughness, which makes the blended fabric have better strength and damage resistance, and is suitable for occasions that require high strength and a certain degree of flexibility.
• Wide applicability: Due to its superior comprehensive performance, carbon fiber aramid blended fabric is often used in aerospace, automobiles, sports equipment, military protection and other fields. It is often used to manufacture high-strength, lightweight structural materials.

Application fields

• Aerospace:Due to its light weight and high strength characteristics, it is widely used in structural parts, interiors, wings, cabins and other parts of aircraft, spacecraft, etc.
• Automotive industry: In racing cars, supercars and electric vehicles, carbon fiber aramid blended fabric is used to manufacture body, frame, interior and other parts. Its light weight and high strength make the vehicle more durable and efficient, while helping to improve performance and fuel efficiency.
• Military:The bulletproof properties of aramid fiber make this material widely used in military protective equipment (such as bulletproof vests, helmets, etc.). Carbon fiber also provides strength and durability.
• Sports equipment:In the fields of bicycle frames, skis, golf clubs, hulls, etc., carbon fiber aramid blended fabrics are widely used in sports equipment due to their high strength and lightweight properties.
• Protective equipment: This composite material is also widely used in high-strength protective clothing, gloves, insoles and other fields, especially in dangerous working environments, to provide effective protection.

Manufacturing process

The manufacturing process of carbon fiber aramid blended fabric usually includes fiber weaving, hot pressing, resin infiltration and other steps:

• Weaving: Carbon fiber and aramid fiber are combined in a certain weaving method to form a fabric with certain strength and toughness.
• Resin impregnation: The woven blended fabric is reinforced by resin impregnation or resin prepreg to further improve its strength, wear resistance and heat resistance.
• Molding and curing: The treated blended fabric is placed in a mold and formed into a composite material component by high-temperature curing to complete the manufacture of the final product.

Advantages

• Excellent mechanical properties:Combining the strength of carbon fiber and the toughness of aramid fiber, it provides excellent tensile, impact and tear resistance.
• Good high temperature resistance:Suitable for high temperature and high stress working environment.
• Provide lightweight solutions:In many applications, it can significantly reduce the weight of components.
