Whether you are a supercar fanatic or a luxury good connoisseur, the chance is that you have heard of the word "Carbon fiber" and you probably know some of the basic characteristics of Carbon fiber: lightweight, strong, durable and expensive. But, have you ever asked yourself "what exactly is this mysterious Carbon fiber?"

What is Carbon fiber and why do we care so much?

According to Wikipedia, "Carbon fibers or Carbon fibers are fibers about 5–10 micrometers in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms." To put in simpler terms, Carbon fiber is an arrangement of Carbon atoms that are 5 to 10 micrometers (1e-6 meters) in diameter. It is this particular alignment (tightly packed) of Carbon atoms that makes Carbon fiber this incredibly strong. Carbon fiber has high stiffness, tensile stress, high yield strength, low weight, high-temperature tolerance, and low thermal expansion coefficient, thus making it a very popular material in aerospace, automotive racing, and lately other industries that require high-performance gear such as sports, bicycles, etc.

General misunderstanding and false claim.

Stronger than steel?

However, there is a general misunderstanding of Carbon fiber that it is stronger than steel and by extension aluminum. You may have encountered carbon fiber product websites where they claim it is stronger than steel. Simply by ultimate tensile strength, which is the point where a part breaks or snaps, steel is stronger than Carbon fiber. Therefore, technically speaking, Carbon fiber is not stronger than steel. However, the very reason that such a statement existed is that Carbon fiber has a higher strength-to-weight ratio (higher specific strength) than steel, which means that for the same amount of weight, Carbon fiber can handle more stress, thus stronger than steel.

Just Carbon fiber?

There seems to be a common sense that when people say Carbon fiber, they actually meant the final Carbon fiber part that often has a glossy and shiny finish. However, this particular Carbon fiber part is actually made out of Carbon fiber and resin. Carbon fiber or Carbon fiber strands along is, in reality, soft like a cotton strand. It is the combination of both Carbon fiber strands and resin (often epoxy resin, you can use different resins or plastic to give you the specific properties you want.) that give us the wonderful properties that everyone loves. Hence, Carbon fiber is a composite material.

So why not Carbon fiber everything?

So far, we have established that Carbon fiber has a superior strength-to-weight ratio to steel. Why can we just replace steel or aluminum with Carbon fiber then? The answer is simple, carbon fiber is very, very expensive. A basic 2mm thick carbon fiber flat sheet that is 300 by 100 mm would cost you 30 plus dollars on Amazon, whereas you can buy a ton more steel. According to this source, "carbon fiber for automotive costs $10 to $12 a pound, compared to less than a buck for steel." Additionally, as the part becomes more complex and intricate, the price to make it out of Carbon fiber skyrockets, which is the very reason you only see Carbon fiber parts mostly in the aerospace industry, automotive racing, exotic cars, military application, high-performance equipment and luxury goods where the budget for the production is simply insane.

Shanghai Lijin focuses on the Carbon Fiber industry and offers carbon fiber tubes, plates, and aluminum CNC services.

Being experienced in the carbon fiber applications for over 7 years, Shanghai Lijin manages customized production according to various industry standards. Shanghai Lijin started to keep in stock for some standard

sized and frequently ordered tubes and plates. This enables Shanghai Lijin to make prompt delivery. Not only

can Shanghai Lijin complete mass production orders in short period, we can even ship normal sample, prototype orders of Carbon Fiber Plate CNC parts in just SEVEN days after order confirmation when the

drawings are available. Shanghai Lijin is dedicated to solve any technical points during the production and new item developing to ensure the quality.

Carbon Fiber tube production is Shanghai Lijin’s core business and occupies 70% of our turnover.
The carbon fiber tubes Shanghai Lijin mainly produce is table-rolled and oven thermoset. The tubes can be Full Carbon or Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass composite, depending on the application, weight limit,mechanical

strength and surface requirement.Shanghai Lijin offers top quality ROUND carbon fiber tubes. The general OD tolerance we achieve is +/-0.10mm and it can be even +/-0.05mm after our special surface process.

The maximum length of the tube can be 5500mm.

Besides the traditional table-rolled carbon fiber tubes, Shanghai Lijin also offers REAL Filament wound carbon fiber tubes,which are widely used for mechanical strength like auto driving shaft, antennas, even for military

applications. The filament wound carbon tubes are wound at a certain angle like 30 or 45 degree. We invested the new production line from Jun 2013 and this increases Shanghai Lijin’s advantage in the carbon

fiber tube industry. There are just a few real filament wound carbon fiber tube manufacturers in domestic

China and we are one of them.
 

Since the rapid growth of UAV in the international market, instead of the standard plane like Phantom from DJI, RC fans are getting more interested in the customized multicopters. As carbon fiber is the most preferred

material for UAV, Carbon Fiber CNC parts demand is increasing. Shanghai Lijin sticks to offering OEM service for the international market, fine quality and prompt delivery.To ensure the thickness tolerance +/-0.10mm and minimum warp of the Carbon Fiber plates that are used for the cutting, Shanghai lijin execute high standard to

the plate production. For the normal thicknesses including 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm,
Shanghai Lijin keeps regular stock, to make sure the raw material will be available for cutting immediately when order is firmed.Experienced engineers are in Shanghai Lijin’s office ready to deal with different types of

drawings from customers. No matter the drawing formats are .DWG, .DXF that can be edited by AutoCAD

and used directly for production, 3D drawings like .IGS, or even draft drawings, our staff can do adjustment and change to customer’s idea. Our engineers are also good at English communication, Email and IM is easy

for them. Editing drawings for customers is FREE* of charge. Shanghai Lijin is having several professional CNC machines for carbon fiber cutting and drilling, with the capacity of cutting 20-50pcs standard full sized plate per day. The carbon fiber chassis general cutting tolerance Shanghai Lijin offer is +/-0.02mm. The

special designed cutting solution ensures the smoothness of the cutting edge.

‘Customers’ Persuit for Change, Lijin’s Motivation for Growth’, Shanghai Lijin takes customers’ demand for center, enhances the
customer satisfaction, and grows with customer.
