How to distinguish between real and fake carbon fiber composite materials?

With the prominent advantages of carbon fiber composite materials, many industries have begun to use carbon fiber products, and carbon fiber manufacturers have also begun to increase. Carbon fiber products have good performance, and their surface texture characteristics are also loved by many people. Many imitation carbon fiber products have begun to appear on the market, so how do we distinguish them? This article will explain it for you.

Difference 1: Distinguish in terms of weight. The weight of real carbon fiber is one-fourth of that of steel. It will feel very light in the hand. If the carbon fiber skin is attached to the surface of the metal material, it will be able to distinguish from the weight. If the imitation carbon fiber is made of plastic products, it may not be possible to distinguish the weight, so it is necessary to distinguish from the following places.

Difference 2: Impact resistance performance, the impact resistance performance of carbon fiber products can also be distinguished, because the production of carbon fiber products requires the fusion of resin, under the condition of force, the force can be transmitted to each tow, impact resistance High performance, then if the metal material is subjected to impact force, it will bend and deform, and the impact resistance of plastic glass material is not good, and it is easy to break.

Difference 3: High temperature resistance, if it is a plastic product that imitates carbon fiber, if it is burned in an open flame, it is flammable, and the color after burning, then the real carbon fiber has no burning effect.

Difference 4: Real carbon fiber is more comfortable to hold, which is why some car steering wheels are made of carbon fiber, and have a very good fiber feel. If it is fake carbon fiber, it will not have a strong texture because the surface is too smooth.

Usually, there are two kinds of imitation carbon fiber, one is imitation carbon fiber texture, and the other is carbon fiber on the surface. Both of these two should be careful. In reality, if you need carbon fiber products, you still need to find a professional manufacturer of carbon fiber products. Manufacturers, so that you can buy real carbon fiber products.
