Carbon fiber sheet Application research in aerospace field

Carbon fiber is a high-performance material, which is widely used in aerospace, automobile, sports equipment and other fields. Carbon fiber sheet is a form of carbon fiber, which has excellent mechanical properties and is one of the important materials in the aerospace field. This paper will introduce the application research of carbon fiber sheet in aerospace field in detail.

Mechanical properties of carbon fiber sheet

The mechanical properties of carbon fiber sheet are mainly reflected in strength and stiffness. Carbon fiber sheet has very high specific strength and specific stiffness, which is much higher than steel, aluminum and other common metal materials. The fatigue life of carbon fiber sheet is also very long, and it can withstand a high number of stress cycles.

Application of carbon fiber sheet in aerospace field

Carbon fiber sheet is widely used in the aerospace field, the most important of which is the application in aircraft structure. As carbon fiber sheet has high specific strength and specific stiffness, it can greatly reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve the fuel efficiency of the aircraft. At present, carbon fiber sheets have been used in the fuselage, wings, air inlets and other parts of aircraft.

Carbon fiber sheets are also used in the manufacture of satellites. The operating environment of the satellite is very harsh, which requires lightweight design of the satellite. The lightweight properties of carbon fiber sheets can effectively reduce the weight of satellites and improve the carrying capacity of satellites.

Preparation method of carbon fiber sheet

There are many ways to prepare carbon fiber sheets, and the most common method is hot compression molding. In this method, carbon fiber and resin are superimposed layer by layer, and then subjected to thermal compression treatment to finally obtain carbon fiber sheets. It can also be prepared by other methods such as layer stacking method, fiber interlayer injection molding method, etc.

Application prospect of carbon fiber sheet

With the continuous development of science and technology, carbon fiber sheets will be more and more widely used in the aerospace field. In the future, the application field of carbon fiber sheet may also expand to other fields, such as electronic equipment, medical devices, etc.
