Advantages of Carbon Fiber Bolts
Light weight
The weight is much lighter than that of steel fasteners of the same specification, which can significantly reduce the overall weight of the equipment. And it can ensure the connection strength, being applicable to fields that are sensitive to weight, such as aerospace.
High strength characteristics
Its tensile strength and specific strength is far exceeding those of traditional metals.
卓越的耐腐蚀性
Carbon fiber bolts are not prone to rusting or corrosion in humid, acidic or alkaline environments. This avoids the common rusting problems of metal fasteners, and significantly extends the service life.
Outstanding fatigue performance
It is not prone to fracture under long-term alternating loads, so it improves the safety of equipment operation.
热膨胀系数低
It can reduce the loosening of connections caused by thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring the stability of the connection.
Types of Carbon Fiber Bolts
根据基材分类
Thermosetting composite bolt and nut
They are made of epoxy resin, phenolic resin, etc., which have stable properties after molding. They are suitable for static connection scenarios with high structural strength requirements, such as internal structure fixation of spacecraft.
Thermoplastic composite bolt and nut
They are made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and other 材料, which have certain toughness, recyclability, and stronger impact resistance. They are suitable for dynamic connections with slight vibration, such as high-end vehicle chassis components.
Uses of Carbon Fiber Bolts
航空航天领域
Its lightweight feature is utilized for connecting the frame of aircraft fuselage, the skin and framework of wings. And for fixing the structural components of satellites, it can reduce the fuel consumption or launch cost. And its corrosion resistance can cope with the harsh conditions at high altitudes.
In the field of new energy vehicles
You can use it for connecting the battery pack shell, which can meet the insulation requirements. It also reduces the weight of the battery system and improves the vehicle’s range. And you can also use it for lightweight assembly of motor and electronic control systems.
In the high-end equipment field
Because its weather resistance can cope with the complex outdoor climates and avoid rusting problems during long-term use. You can use it as the internal structure connection of wind turbine equipment cabins. At the same time, its high strength property can withstand the vibration loads during the operation of the wind turbines.
In the medical device field
You can use it for connecting components of instruments such as MRI equipment that are sensitive to metal interference. Its non-metallic characteristics can avoid affecting the magnetic field of the equipment, which ensures the safety of use.
