Composite material "CFRP"

It is a lightweight and strong material that excels in specific strength and specific elastic modulus compared to metal materials. It also possesses aesthetic beauty.

"CFRP" stands for Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics, which is a composite material made of carbon fibers as the reinforcement and thermosetting resin as the matrix. The main characteristics of CFRP include: ■ Lightweight and strong ■ Excellent X-ray transparency ■ Superior vibration damping ■ Low thermal expansion rate ■ Excellent design properties By designing a laminated structure tailored to various applications, it is possible to create products that make the most of CFRP's characteristics. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information

**Characteristics of CFRP** ■ Lightweight and Strong It has a lower specific gravity than metal materials such as iron and aluminum, and excels in specific strength and specific elastic modulus. ■ Excellent X-ray Transparency The X-ray transmission rate of CFRP is generally said to be five times that of aluminum (this varies depending on the materials used and the molding methods). Due to its high X-ray transmission rate, it can be used in the medical device field to reduce the amount of X-ray exposure to the human body and obtain clear images. ■ Excellent Vibration Damping In transport equipment, it contributes to improved positioning accuracy and increased speed. It also significantly contributes to accuracy improvements in precision instruments. ■ Low Thermal Expansion Rate Thanks to the low thermal expansion coefficient of carbon fibers, it has excellent dimensional stability and shows minimal decline in mechanical properties even at high temperatures. Depending on the design, it is also possible to bring thermal expansion close to zero. ■ Excellent Aesthetic Qualities Due to the combination of carbon fiber fabrics, unidirectional materials (UD), and various fibers, it is widely adopted in products that appeal visually. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
