What are the advantages of chopped carbon fiber? Let's have a look.

Chopped carbon fiber is made of carbon fiber through fiber cutting mechanism. Its basic properties mainly depend on the properties of raw materials and carbon wires.

Chopped carbon fiber is a new material. Its strength is higher than steel, its density is lower than aluminum, it is more corrosion-resistant than stainless steel, high temperature resistant, and its conductivity is higher than copper. It has many valuable electrical, thermal and mechanical properties.

Each carbon fiber consists of thousands of small carbon fibers with a diameter of 5-8 microns. At the atomic level, carbon fibers are very similar to graphite and consist of hexagonal carbon atom arrays. The difference between carbon fiber and graphite is interlayer connection. Graphite is a loose crystal structure. Carbon fiber is not crystal structure. These layers are irregularly connected to prevent sliding and improve the strength of the material.

The density of carbon fiber is 1750 kg / m3, the thermal conductivity is high, but the transmission capacity is low, and the specific heat capacity of carbon fiber is lower than that of copper. When heated, the carbon fiber becomes shorter and shorter. Although the natural color of carbon fiber is black, scientists can dye it in different colors.

Through the above description, we have deepened our understanding of short carbon fiber.
