The usage of Carbon Fiber sheets
Introduction
Carbon Fiber composites have many unique properties. They are a good choice where light weight and high strength is required.
30-40% lighter than aluminum
5 times stronger than steel (at the same weight)
very low thermal expansion
good corrosion resistance
attractive appearance
vibration dampening properties
What can be made from Erismet Carbon Fiber sheets?
Carbon Fiber sheets can be used in many applications. Here are some examples of Erismet™ composite sheets usage.
Engine valves for 2 stroke engines. Thin 0.5mm Erismet™ composite sheets are used as reed valves for two-stroke engines.
Tools for industrial robots, Carbon Fiber sheets are a far superior material to aluminum and steel for making lightweight tools and robot parts. Carbon Fiber enables robots to make fast movements, lift more weight while using less energy and use smaller, less powerful and less expensive robots in return. Carbon Fiber composites greatly improve the productivity and lowers costs involved
Machine parts, Carbon Fiber composites are becoming a common material for making production equipment. Carbon can decrease the mass of fast-moving parts, that in turn improve the efficiency of the machine due to shorter acceleration and braking time. Smaller moving mass also means smaller energy consumption. This leads to a machine with less power demand and can lead to a machine purchase at a lower price point. Another advantage of Carbon Fiber is the low thermal expansion and vibration dampening. These are extremely important properties for measuring tools and devices that work in a variable temperature environment. Vibration reduction is a property common required for 3D scanning technologies.(pic:valentiengineering.com)
Drone parts, drones are mostly built from Carbon Fiber sheets and tubes. Carbon Fiber suits well for this application due to its light weight and strength. Sheets and tubes are also relatively easy to process due to their simple shapes so this eliminates the expensive mold making. Because weight is a critically important requirement for drones they are almost exclusively made from expensive, but light carbon fiber materials. Lightweight materials lead to precise movements, longer flight times and heavier carrying capability for cameras, cargo or other equipment.
Motorsport, different details for weight saving purposes. It is possible to manufacture details for motorbikes, cars, boats and other motorized and non-motorized vehicles.
Knives, Carbon Fiber sheets are used for making handmade knives with a sharp edge. These are usually used as letter-openers.
Knife handles, Carbon Fiber sheets are used as knife handles for handmade knives. They are lightweight, strong and visually appealing.(pic:)
Airplane parts, composites are becoming more and more common material for building airplane parts. This includes Carbon Fiber composites and composites made from Pure Carbon™ sheets and Core Carbon™ sandwiches.
Boat and other vessels, Erismet™ Core Carbon™ sandwiches are perfect usage for building walls, hatches, and floors. Erismet™ Pure Carbon™ sheets are used as protective and strengthening plates. Carbon Fiber usage allows building lighter and faster vessels.
Jewelry and rings, due to Carbon Fiber's unique appearance it is used as items of decorations and is highly valued by designers.
