1.Definition & Composition| Product Catalog
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon (CFRN) is a high-performance composite material combining:
- Matrix: Nylon (Polyamide, PA) – offering excellent processability and wear resistance
- Reinforcement: Carbon fibers – providing superior strength and stiffness
2. Key Material Properties Mechanical Performance
- Tensile strength: >2000 MPa
- Modulus: 150 GPa (vs. 80 MPa for standard nylon)
- Exceptional impact resistance & fatigue performance
Lightweight Advantage
- Density: 1.3–1.5 g/cm³ (1/5 of steel, 1/2 of aluminum)
Thermal Stability
- Service temperature: 120–200℃ (varies by grade)
- Carbon fibers inhibit high-temperature deformation
Environmental Resistance
- Excellent corrosion resistance to seawater/chemicals
- Low water absorption (<50% of standard PA6)
3. Manufacturing Processes
| Method | Application |
|---|---|
| Short Fiber (Injection/Extrusion) | Complex geometries (gears, housings) |
| Continuous Fiber (Thermoforming) | Aerospace/structural components |
| 3D Printing (PA-CF filaments) | Custom lightweight parts |
4.Industry Applications
- Automotive: Lightweight brackets, EV battery housings (15-30% weight reduction)
- Marine: Corrosion-resistant propellers, piping systems
- Aerospace: UAV wings, satellite components
- Electronics: EMI shielding enclosures (conductive grades)
- Sports: High-end bicycle frames, rackets
