What is the relationship between carbon fiber and car ?
The application of carbon fiber in car field starts from racing car, which has been widely cited in civil car in recent years. The black woven pattern of carbon fiber components is not just for the sake of appearance, so what are the outstanding advantages of carbon fiber in the car field? This article gives you an introduction.
Carbon fiber is a new type of fiber with high strength and high modulus and more than 95% carbon content. It is composed of flake graphite microcrystals and other organic fibers stacked along the axial direction of the fiber. The microcrystalline graphite data are obtained by carbonization and graphitization. Carbon fiber has the characteristics of soft outside and hard inside. Its weight is lighter than that of aluminum. It can complete the lightweight of car structure, reduce energy consumption, and improve the driving range. At the same time, its strength is higher than that of steel. The difference between carbon fiber and traditional metal structure data is that carbon fiber is a kind of non-metal data, which has corrosion resistance and ensures the service life of car accessories. It not only has the intrinsic characteristics of carbon material, but also has the softness and processability of textile fiber. It is a new generation of reinforced fiber.
F1 is the fastest car in the world, and has a common carbon fiber body. Formula one McLaren MP4 / 1 in 1981 is the first car to apply carbon fiber composite materials to the whole chassis planning. In the field of civil use, BMW is the pioneer of carbon fiber application. The carbon fiber body of BMW I3 and I8 and the bumper, air inlet, side skirt, bumper and other parts of BMW 4 series m are made of carbon fiber composite materials.
