What is the carbon fiber filament winding process?

The carbon fiber filament winding process involves the winding machine presetting the program through the computer, and a group of prepreg yarns is accurately prepared on the pre-designed circular mold to form a molding process with a high degree of mechanization of composite products. Each type of mast corresponds to a separate yarn laying program, which precisely winds carbon fibers at different angles, while the yarn tension and other corresponding parameters interact to achieve the required product bending curve. Only the winding process provides a precise angle winding solution of the yarn with preload can solve the huge torsion problem in the movement of the sailboat mast.

Dry filament wounding involves pre-impregnating carbon fiber bundles in resin and drying them to form pre-preg carbon fiber tows. During the winding process, the pre-preg carbon fiber tows are heated to restore their tackiness and then directly wound onto the mandrel under tension control by the winding machine. Subsequently, curing and demolding are carried out. Since the carbon fiber tows materials are produced in advance, the resin content and fiber content can be precisely controlled. Additionally, the production equipment for dry filament winding has a relatively simple structure and is easy to operate. Therefore, the production efficiency of dry winding is high, the quality is stable, and it is suitable for the production of high-performance carbon fiber tubes.

Wet filament winding involves passing the prepared carbon fiber yarn through a resin bath for impregnation, then guiding the impregnated carbon fiber bundles onto a mandrel via rollers, and finally curing and demolding. During the production process, it is essential to maintain a constant temperature and pressure in the resin bath and continuously stir it. Resin can also be changed according to different requirements. Depending on the application of carbon fiber tubes, the winding patterns can be classified into three types: helical winding, circumferential winding, and longitudinal winding. By applying these three winding patterns on different winding layers, the comprehensive tensile strength of the carbon fiber tube in both longitudinal and circumferential directions can be enhanced.

What are carbon fiber tubes used for?

Carbon fiber tubes are used in a wide range of applications, including tactical ladders, systems, rods, and beams. Carbon fiber provides low weight, and better mechanical properties over conventional materials like aluminum, and steel.

Are carbon fiber tubes strong?

Carbon fiber tubes are used in numerous applications like tactical ladders, trusses, beams, and more. Carbon fiber is typically chosen over traditional materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium because of the following properties: High strength and stiffness to weight.

Do carbon fiber tubes bend?

Our carbon fiber tubing is built using a thermoset epoxy resin. This means that once cured the epoxy never returns to a liquid state. If you tried to bend our tubing it would break with enough applied force but it will not bend. Carbon fiber/epoxy composite is very stiff!
