What is carbon fiber satin fabric?
Satin weave has a long history in fabrics and was used in the early days to create silk fabrics with excellent drape that also looked smooth and seamless. For composites, this drape ability means it can be easily formed and wrapped around complex contours. Due to the easy formability of the fabric, its stability is low.
Common strand satin weaves include 4 strand satin (4HS), 5 strand grade weave (5HS) and 8 strand satin (8HS). As the number of grain weaves increases, formability will increase and fabric stability will decrease. The following are diagrams of 4HS, 5HS, and 8HS.
The number in the skein satin name indicates the total number of strands passing up and passing down. For 4HS, it will go over 3 tows up and then 1 tow down. For 5HS, it will go over 4 tows up, then 1 tow down, while 8HS will go over 7 tows up, then 1 tow down, pass 1 tow downward.
Carbon fiber satin weave has individual, discontinuous warp interweaving points (or weft interweaving points) that are regularly and evenly distributed in the tissue cycle. This weaving form is called satin weave. It is characterized by long floating threads of warp (or weft) and fewer interweaving points. Although they form diagonal lines, they are not continuous, and the distance between them is regular and even. This fiber cloth structure is called satin weave.
The warp and weft yarns of carbon fiber satin fiber cloth are interwoven at least once every three. Therefore, this weaving structure makes the fabric denser and the fiber cloth thicker.
This kind of satin fiber cloth has a smooth and even surface, soft texture, glossy or slightly textured texture. This type of fiber cloth has lower strength than plain and twill weaves.
Our carbon fiber satin cloth is woven from 1K, 3K, 6K, 12K, 24K carbon fiber. The models of carbon fiber include T300, T700, T800, M30, M35, M40, T1000, high-strength, high-strength medium mold, high-strength High model, the carbon fiber filaments we use include many well-known domestic brands and well-known imported brands, such as:
Toray and Teijin, Mitsubishi Chemical, Hexcel and Zoltek, Hyosung, Aksaca, Cytec solvay group, Sgl.
Mainly used in manufacturing materials in various fields such as wind power blades, sporting goods, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, construction, bridges, highways, aerospace, etc.
Characteristics of carbon stain fabric
- Abrasion-resistant, breathable, chemical-resistant, heat-insulation, moisture-absorbent, radiation-resistant, stain resistant, wrinkle resistant light weight, flexible and easy to operate, smooth surface and uniform force distribution, corrosion resistance ,wear resistance and impact resistance.
- High-performance carbon stain fabric has excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, high modulus, conductivity, high temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, erosion resistance, low expansion coefficient, good design ability and compound ability.
- High strength (5 times that of steel).
- Excellent heat resistance (can withstand high temperatures above 2000°C).
- Excellent thermal shock resistance.
- Low thermal expansion coefficient (small deformation).
- Small heat capacity (energy saving).
- Small specific gravity (1/5 of steel).
Applications of carbon fiber satin cloth
- Aerospace: fuselage, rudder, rocket engine casing, missile diffuser, solar panel, etc.
- Sports equipment: automobile parts, motorcycle parts, fishing rods, baseball bats, ski sleds, speedboats, badminton rackets, etc.
- Industry: engine parts, fan blades, drive shafts, and electrical components, etc.
- Firefighting: suitable for the production of fireproof clothing for troops, firefighting, steel plants, etc.
- Construction: the building usage load increases, the engineering functions change, the materials age, and the concrete strength grade is lower than the design value.
