CARBON FİBER

Carbon Fiber

What is Carbon Fiber 

                Carbon Fibers main components are basically Acrylic fiber, Tar and Nylon. Structure of carbon fiber is 4,5 times lighter than steel in spite of that is 3 times more stabilized.  

Production

               There are two types of carbon fiber production which are different from each other according to using tar or acrylic fiber(PAN). PAN based carbon fibers represents 94% of carbon fiber production in the world. 

PAN based carbon fibers

              There are four main phase of PAN based carbon fiber production which are oxidation, carbonization, surface improvement and coating.

Oxidation: Acrylic fibers temperature is increased up to 300°C in oxidation. Hydrogen which is in acrylic fiber is separated and oxygen is added during heating. This process brings in flameproof to the carbon fiber

Carbonization: In this process acrylic fibers temperature is increased up to 3000°C. In this case materials carbonization level increases to 100% and carbon fiber types be clear according to degree of temperature.

Surface treatment: Acrylic fibers are improved for stick better to resin in electrolytic environment.

Coating: Acrylic fibers are coated with resin and the process is completed.
