Epoxy Round 3K Carbon Fiber Tube Roll Wrapped For Marine

Product Description

Unrivalled Range of High Quality Roll-Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube

Carbon Fibre Tubes

LIJIN produces a range of parallel and tapered tubing manufactured from pre-preg carbon fiber, glass fibre or carbon and glass mix.

Carbon composites offer common benefits of strength, lightness, stiffness, resilience and chemical and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for many performance-based applications. Shop from round, oval, square, rectangle, aerofoil and telescopic tubes or ask us about a custom solution.

Our roll-wrapped prepreg carbon fibre composite tubes are ideal for applications that need the highest strength and stiffness along with lowest weight. Typical industries that use carbon composites are marine, robotics, aerospace, automotive, medical and UAV/film.

Our range includes both roll-wrapped carbon fibre tubes an pultruded carbon fibre tubes. Roll-wrapped carbon fibre tubes tend to be the larger diameters and - because of their alternating layers of reinforcement - produce a more resilient tube, especially to crush and twist forces. Pultruded tubes tend to be in the smaller diameters and provide the maximum possible longitudinal strength but at the expense of being more vulnerable to crushing or torsional fracture.

Roll-wrapped carbon fibre tubes are manufactured by wrapping multiple layers of prepreg carbon fibre reinforcement around a metal mandrel which is wrapped with shrink tape and cured at high temperature. Because the reinforcement is wrapped in layers around the mandrel, it is possible to alternate the alignment of the carbon fibre between layers, enabling roll wrapped tubes to have longitudinal stiffness down their length, as well as strength in the 'hoop' direction, making them more resilient to crush, burst and torsional fracture.

Performance

Although specially laminated, ground, lacquered and polished to produce a carbon fibre tube with a stunning appearance, our 5mm 3K Carbon Fibre tubes are serious tubes suitable for demanding engineering applications including robotics/automation, R/C models, UAVs, recreational equipment, motorsport and marine.
