Flexible CFRP Carbon Fiber Tube High Temperature Resistance Low Aesthetic Impact

Product Description

Flexible CFRP Carbon Fiber Tube High Temperature Resistance Low Aesthetic Impact 

CFRP strengthening of existing structures can involve complex evaluation, design, and detailing processes, requiring a good understanding of the existing structural conditions along with the materials used to repair the structure prior to FRP installation. The suitability of FRP for a strengthening project can be determined by understanding what FRP is and the advantages it offers, but more importantly, its limitations.

carbon fiber reinforced polymer fabric (CFRP composite strengthening system) for structural strengthening, repairing and retrofitting of masonry, concrete, steel and wooden substrates. CFRP composite strengthening of columns,beams,slabs,walls,piles,pier caps in building,bridge,highway,railway,tunnels,piers and civil airport.

Carbon Fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems are simply defined as high­strength and lightweight reinforcements created by combining carbon (CFRP) with a polymer material (epoxy resin). The performance characteristics of CFRP strengthening system have become increasingly popular in construction and retrofit applications, specifically in aging, damaged, deteriorating or overloaded concrete structures.

A Brief History on Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber dates back to 1879 when Thomas Edison baked cotton threads or bamboo silvers at high temperatures, which carbonized them into an all-carbon fiber filament. By 1958, high-performance carbon fibers were invented just outside of Cleveland, OH. Although they were inefficient, these fibers contained around 20% carbon and had low strength and stiffness properties.

In 1963 a new manufacturing process was developed at a British research center, which is where carbon fiber’s strength potential was realized.

How is Carbon Fiber Made: An Overview of The Carbon Fiber Manufacturing Process

Carbon fiber is made from a process that is part chemical and part mechanical. It starts by drawing long strands of fibers and then heating them to a very high temperature without allowing contact with oxygen to prevent the fibers from burning. This is when carbonization takes place, which is when the atoms inside of the fibers vibrate violently, expelling most of the non-carbon atoms. This leaves a fiber composed of long, tightly inter-locked chains of carbon atoms with only a few non-carbon atoms remaining.

A typical sequence used to form carbon fibers from polyacrylonitrile involves spinning, stabilizing, carbonizing, treating the surface, and sizing.
