Characteristics of Carbon Fiber Composite Tubes
____________
Carbon fiber is a popular material choice for various applications due to their high strength , lightweight and corrosion resistance .
high Strength and Stiffness : One of the primary characteristics of carbon fiber composite tubes is the high strength and high stiffness . Manufacture design the carbon fiber layup orientation with 0° , 90° and +/-45° to reach the best structure . The high strength combined with great anti-torsional forces makes them to be an ideal choice for aerospace and automotive industry .
Light weight : As known that carbon fiber is stiffer than steel , but lighter than aluminum . So it is a very good option to make carbon fiber car parts with carbon fiber material .
Resistance to corrosion : Carbon fiber is highly resistant to corrosion , it doesn't rust or oxidize when exposed to moisture , chemicals or extreme temperature . This makes it particularly suitable for outdoor or marine applications .
Low thermal expansion : Carbon fiber exhibits a lowe thermal expansion coefficient , which means it has minimal dimensional changes in response to temperature variations .
excellent fatigue resistance : The unique structure of carbon fiber allows it to withstand repetitive loading without experiencing fatigur failure , making it a popular choice if customer has requirement on performance .

Carbon fiber tubes are lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant materials, making them ideal for various applications. In this essay, we will discuss some of the primary applications of carbon fiber tubes and the benefits they offer.
Aerospace Industry
Carbon fiber tubes are extensively used in the aerospace industry due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. They are utilized in the construction of aircraft frames, fuselages, and wing components. Additionally, carbon fiber tubes are used in the manufacturing of satellite components, as they can withstand extreme temperatures and pressures.
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, carbon fiber tubes are employed in the production of high-performance vehicles. They are used in the construction of chassis, body panels, and other structural components. The use of carbon fiber tubes in automotive manufacturing reduces vehicle weight, leading to improved fuel efficiency and better performance.
Sports and Recreational Equipment
Carbon fiber tubes are also used in the manufacturing of sports and recreational equipment, such as bicycle frames, golf clubs, fishing rods, and tennis rackets. The material’s lightweight and high strength properties make it suitable for these applications, as it allows for improved performance and durability.
Construction and Civil Engineering
In the construction and civil engineering sectors, carbon fiber tubes are employed in the reinforcement of concrete structures, such as bridges, tunnels, and buildings. The tubes are embedded within the concrete, providing additional strength and durability. This application is particularly beneficial in areas prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes or hurricanes.
Medical Devices
Carbon fiber tubes are used in the production of medical devices, such as implants, prosthetics, and surgical instruments. The material’s biocompatibility, strength, and corrosion resistance make it a suitable choice for these applications. Additionally, carbon fiber tubes can be shaped into various forms, allowing for customization to fit specific medical needs.
Energy Industry
In the energy industry, carbon fiber tubes are employed in the construction of wind turbine blades and solar panel supports. The material’s lightweight and high strength properties make it ideal for these applications, as it contributes to the efficiency and durability of the renewable energy infrastructure.
In conclusion, carbon fiber tubes offer numerous benefits, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. As a result, they are widely used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, sports, construction, medical devices, and energy.
Manufacture Process of tubes/tubing products
Choose the right now according to charateristics.
Roll-wrapping
Roll wrapping means to use prepreg fiber material which has already been impregnated with epoxy resin to finish the product. The prepreg material is cut into layers of different orientation , then roll these layers onto a mandrel . After that , use a plastic film to wrap the mandrel and prepreg to contain the epoxy resin and compress the layers during curing . Once curing is complete , remove the mandrel from the center of the finished tubes , in this way we call it roll wrapping process .
01
Filament winding
Similar to roll wrapping process , there is also a mandrel for production for filament winding process . Filament winding is a process in which a pre-programmed robot arm applies a bundle of epoxy resin-impregnated fibers onto a spinning mandrel .
After the desired layup thickness has been finished , the mandrel is placed into an oven to cure . After the curing process , remove the mandrel and leaving a filament winding hollow tube .
02
pultrusion
Pultrusion is a relatively low cost , but high effciency production process . Pultrusion is a process in which dry , continuous fibers are pulled through a bath of resin and then through a die . The die serves two purposes , first it forces the bundle of wet fibers to conform to the shape you want to creat . Second , since the die is heated , it will cure the resin to set the bundle of fibers into it's final shape , then you will get the final products from pultrusion process .
03
mould pressing
Carbon fiber mould pressing process belongs to a kind of hand lay-up process of low-pressure moulding . The carbon fiber prepreg was placed between the upper and lower mold , the mold was placed on hydraulic molding table . After a certain period of hight pressure to cure the resin , the carbon fiber products are removed . Mould pressing process has the advantages of high efficiency , good quality , high dimensional accuracy , less environmental impact and so on .

Carbon Fiber tubes
All our tubes are made starting from an inner calibrated core equivalent to the inner diameter, on that we place all the other layers of fiber to achieve the desired thickness of the composite tube. On the basis of the constituent materials and their disposal and fiber angle, we can provide different design to better meet all the needs of each application.
The tubes shown and indicated below are cylindrical, but they can also be available upon request conical, slightly oval,square, rectangular, hexagonal, with different thicknesses or with special carbon fiber additions. Surface Finishes of Carbon Tubes can be UD or 3K, with subsequent treatments we can also grind or paint the outer surface.
non-Conducting glass fiber Tubes
On request, we can manufacture glass fiber tubes with different thicknesses. Compared to carbon ones, glass fiber tubes are more flexible, and can bear major bendings and obviously have a lower price. Glass fiber tubes are also non-conductors and show a pretty good dielectric strength and low thermal expansion.
XINBO COMPOSITE is one of the top level tube manufacturers in China, with professional skills, we are able to produce tube with high strength and good quality. We can also customize products according to client's requirement.
