Carbon Fiber Tubes

"Do not judge the book by its cover," so goes the famous maxim. This has been proven true in almost all facets of life, including technology. When it comes to modernization, carbon fiber tubes became the tip of the ice berg. This is one material that the manufacturers and producers of vehicles, some hobbyists, and even makers of sporting goods cannot live without. At the first glance, you may think of a single carbon fiber to be just an ordinary strand that is so weak that it can be easily broken. However, a closer look at the structures and properties of this component will help us to understand and even appreciate this material better.

Carbon fiber tube is made up of many intricately thin fibers in its extreme forms with a diameter of only around 0.005 to 0.010 mm. These are woven together to form a yarn which can be immensely used in different fields. Having this general idea, this means that a single strand of carbon fiber is only as thick as seven to ten strands of human hair! However, its qualities are way far different than human hair. For one, the strength and durability of carbon fiber is unimaginably remarkable. In fact, this is one of the reasons why more and more people prefer carbon fiber tube rather than aluminum and steel.

In relation to the compound of carbon fiber tubes, the carbon fibers are comprised of microscopic carbon atoms, which, when bonded together with the help of crystal alignment, makes the material superbly strong compared to its size and appearance.

In terms of properties, carbon fiber tube is somewhat similar to asbestos to some extent. One single thread of carbon fiber is made up of thousands of many other carbon filaments which almost all have at least eighty five percent carbon exclusively. Meanwhile, the atomic structure of this material is also exceptional, since it can be compared to the structure of graphite. Depending on how it was woven or molded, this substance may acquire a tensile strength in high magnitude. This complexity makes this material almost unbreakable with minimal deformity when impacted by many tons. Under correct conditions, carbon fiber tubes can demonstrate both the quality of strength and elasticity.

Since carbon fiber tubes proved dynamic under heat, this material became sought after as part of the safety precautions of many manufacturers. For instance, carbon fiber is widely used in car's hoods. When that part is impacted, with the help of this material, the hood may just have a slight affected dent. Amazingly, when carbon fibers are molded together, it actually becomes resistant against fire. This is because carbon fibers in its compact layer can efficiently reflect and stand the test of heat.

With impressive qualities this material possess, like the ability to withstand a high impact of huge amount of weight and force; its low thermal ability; its light weight but acquiring an extraordinary tensile strength, we definitely stumbled onto a pleasant surprise – that of having the advantages of carbon fiber tubes far greater than its size!
