Product Overview
Our forged carbon fiber tubes are manufactured using forged carbon prepreg and unidirectional prepreg materials. These tubes offer excellent physical and chemical properties, including lightweight design, high strength, exceptional stiffness, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, excellent circumferential compressive strength, and outstanding longitudinal support and torsional resistance. However, due to the short fiber structure on the surface of the forged carbon, it lacks the continuous fiber structure found in traditional carbon fibers, resulting in slightly lower tensile strength compared to woven carbon fiber tubes. As such, it is primarily used for decorative purposes or in applications where support requirements are less demanding. Below is an introduction to our forged carbon fiber tubes:
(1)Material Composition
• Outer Layer: Forged carbon fiber prepreg, with optional glitter powder (Gold, Silver, Red, Blue, Green, Purple) added to the surface.
• Inner Layer: Unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg
• Resin: Industrial-grade epoxy resin
(2)Structural Features
• The outer layer features the forged carbon fiber texture (short-cut fibers).
• Available in glitter finish or original carbon fiber color.
• Internal structure A: 0°/ 90° (high axial stiffness and circumferential strength).
• Internal structure B: 0°/ ±45°/ 90° (excellent torsional resistance).
• Mechanical properties are approximately 90–95% of woven carbon fiber tubes.
