Carbon Fibers

Carbon fibers are extremely thin strands made from carbon atoms tightly bonded together in a crystal structure. They are known for being very strong, lightweight, and stiff, which makes them ideal for high-performance applications like aerospace, sports equipment, and high-end automotive parts. The manufacturing process involves heating precursor materials, such as polymers, to very high temperatures to carbonize them. These fibers can be woven into fabrics or combined with other materials to create composite materials that are stronger and lighter than traditional metals or plastics. Their unique properties stem from their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to heat and corrosion.
