Quasi-Isotropic Solid Plain Weave Carbon Fiber Sheet Heat Resistant

Product Description

Heat Resistant Quasi-isotropic Solid Plain Weave Carbon Fiber Sheet

Our quasi-isotropic solid carbon fiber sheets are a tough and rigid carbon-reinforced epoxy matrix composed of multiple layers of woven carbon fiber fabric without any core material. Quasi-isotropic sheets utilize balanced and symmetrical lay-up schedules of 90-degree and 45-degree fabric. These sheets are available with your choice of either a plain or twill weave face sheet. Plain weave finish options include high gloss, scratch-resistant matte, or textured finish, while twill weave is available in a high gloss or matte finish. Finish options are available on one side only, with a textured finish on the other side for an ideal bonding surface.

Features of a Plain Weave Carbon Fiber Sheet:

• Symmetrical Appearance: The plain weave pattern creates a symmetrical and uniform appearance on both sides of the sheet.
• Balanced Strength: While plain weave doesn't provide as much strength in one direction as some other weave patterns (such as twill), it offers good strength in both the warp and weft directions.
• Ease of Handling: Plain weave carbon fiber sheets are often more straightforward to handle and cut due to their simple and regular pattern.
• Cost-Effective: Plain weave carbon fiber sheets are generally more cost-effective compared to some other weave patterns. This makes them a popular choice for applications where cost is a significant consideration.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The plain weave pattern can have a classic and visually appealing look, especially when combined with a glossy finish.

Applications:

• Automotive Components: Plain weave carbon fiber sheets are used in various automotive applications, such as interior trims, panels, and structural components.
• Aerospace: In certain aerospace applications where a balanced strength in multiple directions is required.
• Sports Equipment: Plain weave carbon fiber sheets are commonly employed in the manufacturing of sporting goods like bike frames, racket frames, and other lightweight, high-performance equipment.
• Modeling and Hobbyist Projects: Due to their ease of handling and cost-effectiveness, plain weave carbon fiber sheets are popular in hobbyist and DIY projects.

FAQ:

1. What kind of finish is available for carbon fiber sheets? Are carbon fiber sheets with a matt finish available?

At this moment only carbon fiber sheets with a gloss finish are available. We can supply a matt finish for larger wholesale orders.

2. Do you supply carbon fiber sheets of thickness customized to individual needs? And what accuracy can your company guarantee?

Our standard carbon fiber sheets are manufactured with accuracy up to ~ + 0.2mm, which means that a sheet 1.5mm thick may have a thickness within the range of 1.5-1.7mm. Upon request, we provide cutting of carbon fiber sheets to the required thickness with an accuracy of 0.05mm.

3. Do you supply unidirectional carbon fiber sheets or biaxial and triaxial carbon fiber sheets?

We supply carbon fiber sheets with 2/2 (twill) or 1/1 (plain) weave but upon request, we also supply unidirectional carbon fiber (UD) or biaxial and triaxial carbon fiber sheets.

4. Are carbon fiber sheets of the quasi-isotropic type available?

We supply carbon fiber sheets with layers oriented at 0/90 degrees, but upon request, we also supply carbon fiber sheets with layers oriented at 0/90/-45/+45 degrees namely quasi-isotropic carbon fiber sheets.

5. What is the thermal resistance of carbon fiber sheets?

Carbon fiber sheets offer thermal resistance of up to 70oC. Upon request, we also supply carbon fiber sheets with thermal resistance up to 150oC.

6. How can I cut carbon fiber sheets in my workshop?

The carbon fiber plates we make are easy to process. They do not flatten when milling on a CNC machine, and the edges are sharp and nice. The carbon plates we make can also be easily machined with household tools such as an angle grinder, drill, file, sandpaper, etc.

7. Can carbon fiber sheets be painted?

Actually, any further treatment depends on the intended use. All supplied carbon fiber sheets (and ones made from epoxy resin) offer resistance to UV. However in the case of long duration or repeated exposure to sunshine (UV radiation) it is recommended to apply a layer of clear top coat (e.g. Polyurethane and Acrylic based) on the outer side of the carbon fiber sheet to ensure total protection against UV radiation.
