Carbon fiber composite products are gradually entering the civilian field. Automotive carbon fiber composite materials can be used as parts for automobile drive shafts, leaf springs, frames and brake pads. Carbon fiber composite materials can replace steel parts of automobiles, and the weight of the vehicle body can be greatly reduced. Fuel efficiency is improved, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced, and the car is lighter and the demand for a low-carbon economy is realized. The practical application of carbon fiber on various auto parts is detailed below.
Carbon fiber car hood
Wheel hub: The wheel made of carbon fiber composite material is much lighter than the normal size of the wheel, which can drive at high speed and minimize the radial inertia of the wheel.
Transmission shaft: The force of the automobile transmission shaft is complicated, especially to withstand a large torque, taking into account the characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced composite anisotropy, high specific strength and relatively low specific modulus, so that carbon fiber composite material is used. The drive shaft can replace metal products to meet the requirements of use. Carbon fiber drive shafts not only reduce weight, but also provide better fatigue resistance and durability.
The most important application of carbon fiber in automobiles is the lightweight of the car. In terms of safety, the energy absorption capacity of the collision is 4 to 5 times higher than that of the steel. Therefore, it is also used in the front frame of the automobile and the bumper frame. To a certain extent, the safety of the car is guaranteed. In addition, it also meets the needs of low-carbon economy, which can effectively save energy and protect the environment.
The application of carbon fiber is one of the key research directions of lightweighting in the automotive industry. However, the cost of carbon fiber raw materials is high, and there are certain limitations. Therefore, in the application process, it is necessary to do computational simulation analysis and design research work, and take advantage of new materials. LFT-G's independent research and development and design and production methods help automotive OEMs solve the need to shorten the development cycle and reduce the cost of composite manufacturing, and improve the manufacturing of multiple functional composite solutions and metal hybrid structural parts for the automotive industry.
