What limits the application of carbon fiber composites to missiles

As a non-metallic material with excellent comprehensive properties, carbon fiber has a wide range of applications in life. The carbon fiber materials we usually see belong to composite materials, because carbon fiber cannot be used for manufacturing alone like steel, aluminum, and iron materials. The carbon fiber material we usually use is a composite material that is fused with resin. The pure carbon fiber material is prepared at a high temperature of more than 3000 degrees, so carbon fiber can withstand a high temperature of 1500 degrees without affecting the performance. Carbon fiber composite materials are often limited by the temperature resistance of the resin matrix, because the temperature resistance of the resin matrix is not so good, which reduces the temperature resistance of carbon fiber composite materials. This is also a problem that puzzles researchers.

As early as many years ago, foreign countries have explored the use of carbon fiber composite materials to make missile warheads. This is a very difficult job, because traditional carbon fiber composite materials can only withstand temperatures of several hundred degrees. The warhead is not only a gliding warhead with the shape of a waverider, but also contains various navigation equipment and gas rudder equipment. Due to high-speed flight, the temperature of the missile surface can reach 600-2000 degrees. The shell material of the warhead must not only withstand this temperature, but also have a strong heat dissipation capacity, otherwise the high temperature will lead to overheating damage to all internal navigation and maneuvering systems. out of control.

Carbon fiber composite materials have extremely strong performance. Although the application of missile warheads is still in the experimental stage, with the invention of more new materials, the difficulties of carbon fiber composite materials in temperature resistance will eventually be overcome. As a domestic thermoplastic carbon fiber composite material manufacturer, 3G Carbon will continue to increase its research and development efforts, and strive to promote the development of domestic materials to a higher level as soon as possible.
