Carbon-Basalt Hybrid Fabric

Carbon Fiber-Basalt Fiber Hybrid Fabric is a composite material that combines carbon fiber and basalt fiber. It has the advantages of both fibers and can provide a series of excellent properties such as high strength, light weight, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. This hybrid fabric is used in many fields, especially in places that require high temperature resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and light weight.

Main ingredients

Carbon fiber: Carbon fiber is a fiber composed of carbon elements, which has extremely high strength and rigidity, and is very light. Carbon fiber is usually used in fields with high requirements for strength, rigidity, corrosion resistance, and light weight. Its characteristics include:

• High strength and rigidity:It is stronger than steel, but much lighter than steel.
• Corrosion resistance:It is not easily corroded by most chemicals.
• High temperature resistance:It can remain stable in high temperature environments, especially suitable for high temperature applications such as aerospace.

Basalt fiber: Basalt fiber is a fiber drawn from natural volcanic rock (basalt) after high temperature melting, and has excellent physical and chemical properties. Its characteristics include:

• High temperature tolerance:Basalt fiber has high high temperature resistance and can withstand high temperatures of around 650°
• Corrosion resistance:Compared with glass fiber, basalt fiber has stronger corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids and alkalis.
• Good impact resistance and strength:It has good impact resistance and can provide good mechanical strength.
• Environmental protection:Basalt fiber is a natural material, and its production process has low energy consumption and meets environmental protection requirements.

Characteristics of mixed cloth

• Comprehensive performance optimization: The combination of carbon fiber and basalt fiber can give full play to the advantages of both. Carbon fiber provides higher rigidity, strength and temperature resistance, while basalt fiber enhances the material’s impact resistance, corrosion resistance and adaptability to high temperature environments. The design of mixed cloth can meet the material needs of different fields by adjusting the proportion of different fibers.
• High temperature resistance: Compared with single carbon fiber or glass fiber, basalt fiber performs better in high temperature environments and can maintain stable mechanical properties at higher temperatures. Therefore, this mixed cloth is very suitable for applications that need to withstand high temperatures.
• Corrosion resistance: The excellent acid and alkali resistance of basalt fiber makes the blended cloth have better corrosion resistance in harsh environments, especially in the ocean or chemical industry.
• Combination of high strength and toughness:The high strength and high rigidity provided by carbon fiber combined with the good toughness of basalt fiber can enhance the material’s ability to resist damage under impact or external force.
• Environmental protection:Compared with some other composite materials, basalt fiber is more environmentally friendly, especially in the production process, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and has less impact on the ecological environment.

Application areas

• Automotive industry: Carbon fiber basalt fiber blended cloth is widely used in the lightweight design of racing cars and high-performance cars. It can not only reduce the weight of the car body, but also improve the strength and impact resistance of the car body, and improve the safety and handling performance of the vehicle.
• Aerospace: Due to its good high temperature resistance, blended cloth is suitable for structural parts, interiors, wings and other parts in the aerospace field, especially for applications that require high strength and high temperature resistant materials.
• Shipbuilding and marine engineering: Blended fabrics are also widely used in ships, offshore platforms and other offshore facilities because of their excellent corrosion resistance and adaptability to the harsh conditions in seawater environments.
• Construction and civil engineering: This composite material can be used to make fire-resistant and corrosion-resistant building materials, such as bridge reinforcement, tunnel lining, high-temperature resistant structures, etc.
• Military field: Blended fabrics can also be used to manufacture military protective equipment, such as bulletproof vests, protective shields, etc., due to their high strength and impact resistance.
• Wind power generation: Composite materials are often used in wind turbine blades. Carbon fiber basalt fiber blended fabrics are suitable for the field of wind power generation due to their strength and weather resistance.

Manufacturing process

The production process of carbon fiber basalt fiber blended fabrics usually includes the following steps:

• Weaving or laying:Carbon fiber and basalt fiber are combined in a certain weaving method or stacking method to form a blended fabric. According to the needs of the final application, the proportion of different fibers can be adjusted to form a blended fabric with different properties.
• Resin impregnation:impregnate the mixed fabric with resin (such as epoxy resin, polyester resin, etc.) to enhance the strength, water resistance and wear resistance of the material.
• Curing and molding: put the mixed fabric impregnated with resin into a mold, and cure it by heating and pressurizing to finally obtain a composite material with both strength and toughness.

Advantages of Carbon Fiber-Basalt Fiber Hybrid Fabric
