Product Description
Factory Directly High Quality Strong Thin Large Diameter Carbon Fiber Tube
Carbon fiber is made of thin, strong crystalline filaments of carbon that are used to strengthen the material. Carbon fiber can be thinner than a strand of human hair and gets its strength when twisted together like yarn. Then it can be woven together to form cloth and if needed to take a permanent shape, carbon fiber can be laid over a mold and coated in resin or plastic.
On top of being strong, carbon fiber:
● Is high in stiffness
● Is high in tensile strength
● Has a low weight-to-strength ratio
● Is high in chemical resistance
● Is temperature tolerant to excessive heat
● Has low thermal expansion
Because of this, carbon fiber is very popular in many industries such as aerospace, automotive, military, and recreational applications.

A Brief History of 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 interlocked chains of carbon atoms with only a few non-carbon atoms remaining.
Typical sequences used to form carbon fibers from polyacrylonitrile involve spinning, stabilizing, carbonizing, treating the surface, and sizing.
