According to C&EN, there are over 40,000 applications that use glass fiber reinforcement. Similarly, carbon fiber has become a critical component of many industrial materials and equipment. The medical and aerospace spheres rely on these types of composites. Carbon fiber is a critical component of prosthetic limbs, for example. Its durability also makes it excellent for […]
Most people know about the use of carbon fiber in high-tech manufacturing and engineering. But did you know that carbon fiber is also used to make clothing? Carbon fiber is actually five times stronger than steel. This makes it a smart choice for many kinds of engineering applications and high-performance clothing. Because carbon fiber clothing is tough […]
Carbon fiber is a vital synthetic material that’s important for many different manufacturing industries. With the ability to significantly strengthen products while also being lightweight, this luxury material sees a lot of use within the aerospace, military, and even medical industries. The carbon fiber market was valued at $2.6 billion in 2019 and is estimated […]
Over 2 million Americans are living with limb loss. 65% are living with lower limb (leg, toes, or foot) amputations, and 35% have lost an upper limb ( hand, arm, or fingers). Due to illness and injury, 185,000 amputations happen in the United States yearly. Some adapt and live without prosthetics. Others choose carbon fiber […]
Ever since Roger Bacon discovered graphite whiskers in 1958, carbon fiber has become a mainstream option. Carbon fiber is used in high-performance applications ranging from airplanes and automobiles to satellites and even sporting goods. Carbon fiber was set to take the world by storm and even challenge fiberglass as one of the top textiles. The only reason fiberglass has held […]
Projections expect the casting market size to be worth $352.65 billion by 2024. The growth of the automotive and aerospace industries is driving the demand for cast molding products. These industries require high-quality and durable parts. If you’re ready to learn the pros and cons of cast molding, read on. What Cast Molding Is and […]
Weight saving and strength are the main reasons why people opt for carbon fiber over aluminum or other metal wheels. Carbon fiber is a lot more durable than people think and is the main choice of material when racing or any other sort of vehicle enhancement is trying to be achieved. With so many advantages, […]
Strength, luxury, and versatility. These words pop into mind when people think about carbon fiber materials. Recent years have seen a boom in demand for this product. In 2021, the global production capacity for carbon fiber was about 193 thousand tons. Although carbon fiber material cost is still higher than steel, the technology is constantly […]
In 2020, the global carbon fiber market was valued at $2.23 billion and is expected to grow to $4.08 billion by 2028. This market includes sports, cars, aerospace, and more. That means this is required by many people, whether for car parts or construction. But isn’t this only for cars? Yes and no. Perhaps you’re looking […]
You probably know that the carbon fiber market has been experiencing rapid growth in recent years, but do you know how much the market is worth? In 2020, it was worth $3.7 billion. It is expected to more than double by 2031 to $8.9 billion. With the growing demand for carbon fiber products, new customers are reaching […]
