What is Carbon Fiber?
![Page 5: Carbon fiber.1](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050801/54c859624a7959a54d8b4584/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Carbon Fiber
Carbon fiber is defined as a fiber containing at least 92 wt % carbon, while the fiber containing at least 99 wt % carbon is usually called a graphite fiber. It is a material consisting of several fibers and composed mostly of carbon atoms. Each fiber is about 5 – 10 μm thick in diameter.

Carbon Fiber
o The crystal alignment gives the fiber high
strength- to-volume ratio.
o Carbon fibers are usually combined with other
materials to form a composite.
o When combined with a plastic resin and wound
or molded it forms carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

Carbon Fiber
o Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic has a very
high strength-to-weight ratio, and is extremely
rigid and brittle.
o Carbon Fibers are also composed with other
materials, such as with graphite to form carbon-
carbon composites, which have a very high heat
tolerance.

History
o Carbon fibers were developed in the 1950s as a
reinforcement for high-temperature molded plastic
components on missiles.
o Firstly manufactured by Dr. Roger Bacon.
o The first fibers were manufactured by heating strands
of rayon until they carbonized.

History
This process proved to be inefficient, as the
resulting fibers contained only about 20% carbon
and had low strength and stiffness properties.
![Page 11: Carbon fiber.1](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050801/54c859624a7959a54d8b4584/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Carbon Fiber Vs Steel
Carbon Fiber is actually 5 times stronger than steel. It is also 2 times more stiff. This material has a really very strength-to-weight ratio, which makes it great for almost anything that requires high strength and low weight.

Manufacturing ChallengesThe manufacturing of carbon fibers carries
a number of challenges, including: The need for more cost effective recovery and
repair. Close control required to ensure consistent
quality. Health and safety issues Skin irritation Breathing irritation.

Manufacturing of Carbon Fibers
Carbon fiber is currently produced in relatively limited quantities mostly via two manufacturing processes:
Based on pitch (coal tar and petroleum products) Based on Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)o Current global capacity for pitch-based carbon fiber is
estimated at about 3,500 metric tons per year. Global use for PAN-based carbon fiber is increasing rapidly,
and total production capacity currently does not meet the demand.
PAN-based carbon fiber is more expensive to produce, hence, limiting its use to high end applications, (used primarily by aerospace and sporting equipment industries).

Manufacturing Process In the manufacturing process, the raw material,
which is called precursor, is drawn into long strands or fibers. The fibers are woven into fabric or combined with other materials that are molded into desired shapes and sizes.
There are typically five segments in the manufacturing of carbon fibers from the PAN process. These are:1)Spinning:
PAN mixed with other ingredients and spun into fibers, which are washed and stretched.

Stabilizing:
Chemical alteration to stabilize bonding.
Carbonizing:Stabilized fibers heated to very high
temperature forming tightly bonded carbon
crystals.
Treating the Surface: Surface of fibers oxidized to improve bonding
properties.

Sizing: Fibers are coated and wound onto bobbins,
which are loaded onto spinning machines that twist the fibers into different size yarns. Instead of being woven into fabrics, fibers may be formed into composites. To form composite materials, heat, pressure, or a vacuum binds fibers together with a plastic polymer.

Structure
The atomic structure of carbon fiber is similar to
that of graphite, consisting of sheets of
carbon atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal
pattern.
Graphite is a crystalline material in which the sheets
are stacked parallel to one another in regular
fashion.

Carbon Fiber’s Future The future efforts on carbon fiber research
will be focused on cost reduction and property improvement.
The mechanical property of carbon fiber heavily relies on its microstructure.
The improvement on the tensile, flexural, and shear strength of pitch carbon fibers has been observed by randomizing the graphite distribution in the fiber transverse direction.
