High-Strength Lightweight 3K Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Plate - Thinner, Stronger, Lighter

Carbon fiber has revolutionized modern engineering with its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability. Among its many forms, lightweight carbon fiber plates stand out as a preferred choice for industries demanding high performance without added mass. These plates, typically ranging from 0.2 mm to 10 mm in thickness, offer unmatched advantages over traditional materials like steel and aluminum.

Physical Characteristics

• Thermal conductivity: 5-150 W/m·K (depends on fiber orientation)
• CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion): Near-zero in fiber direction
• EMI shielding: Effective for electronic enclosures

Advantages Over Traditional Materials

• Weight savings: 60-70% lighter than steel, 30% lighter than aluminum
• Corrosion resistance: Immune to rust and chemical degradation
• Design flexibility: Can be molded into complex geometries
• Vibration damping: Superior to metals in dynamic applications

Lightweight carbon fiber plates represent the pinnacle of material science innovation, offering unparalleled performance where weight savings and strength are paramount. While current costs limit some applications, ongoing advancements in manufacturing and recycling promise to make this transformative material accessible to broader markets.

Carbon Fiber Sheet Plate Specification:

1. What is carbon fiber?

Carbon fiber is a lightweight, high-strength material made from thin fibers of carbon. These fibers are woven into a sheet and then impregnated with resin to create a strong, rigid composite material. It's known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, and durability.

2. What are carbon fiber sheets used for?

Carbon fiber sheets are used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, sporting goods, and manufacturing. They are commonly used for parts that require high strength, low weight, and resistance to wear, such as car parts, aircraft components, and even consumer electronics.

3. What sizes do carbon fiber sheets come in?

Carbon fiber sheets typically come in standard sizes like 1m x 1m (39” x 39”) or 2m x 1m (79” x 39”). However, they can be customized depending on the supplier and the specific requirements.

4. How thick are carbon fiber sheets?

Carbon fiber sheets can range in thickness from as thin as 0.5mm to as thick as 10mm or more, depending on the application. The thickness affects the strength, rigidity, and weight of the material.

5. What are the benefits of using carbon fiber sheets?

• Lightweight: Carbon fiber is much lighter than materials like steel or aluminum.
• Strong and durable: Despite its lightweight, it has a very high tensile strength.
• Corrosion-resistant: Carbon fiber doesn't rust or corrode like metal.
• Customizable: It can be made in various thicknesses, textures, and finishes.

6. What is the difference between plain weave and twill weave carbon fiber sheets?

• Plain Weave: Features a simple over-under pattern that creates a uniform grid. It's generally stiffer.
• Twill Weave: Has a more complex pattern, creating a diagonal line effect. It tends to be more flexible and is often used for aesthetic purposes.

Shanghai Lijin focuses on the Carbon Fiber industry and offers carbon fiber tubes, plates, and aluminum CNC services.

Being experienced in the carbon fiber applications for over 7 years, Shanghai Lijin manages customized production according to various industry standards. Shanghai Lijin started to keep in stock for some standard

sized and frequently ordered tubes and plates. This enables Shanghai Lijin to make prompt delivery. Not only

can Shanghai Lijin complete mass production orders in short period, we can even ship normal sample, prototype orders of Carbon Fiber Plate CNC parts in just SEVEN days after order confirmation when the

drawings are available. Shanghai Lijin is dedicated to solve any technical points during the production and new item developing to ensure the quality.

Carbon Fiber tube production is Shanghai Lijin’s core business and occupies 70% of our turnover.
The carbon fiber tubes Shanghai Lijin mainly produce is table-rolled and oven thermoset. The tubes can be Full Carbon or Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass composite, depending on the application, weight limit,mechanical

strength and surface requirement.Shanghai Lijin offers top quality ROUND carbon fiber tubes. The general OD tolerance we achieve is +/-0.10mm and it can be even +/-0.05mm after our special surface process.

The maximum length of the tube can be 5500mm.

Besides the traditional table-rolled carbon fiber tubes, Shanghai Lijin also offers REAL Filament wound carbon fiber tubes,which are widely used for mechanical strength like auto driving shaft, antennas, even for military

applications. The filament wound carbon tubes are wound at a certain angle like 30 or 45 degree. We invested the new production line from Jun 2013 and this increases Shanghai Lijin’s advantage in the carbon

fiber tube industry. There are just a few real filament wound carbon fiber tube manufacturers in domestic

China and we are one of them.
 

Since the rapid growth of UAV in the international market, instead of the standard plane like Phantom from DJI, RC fans are getting more interested in the customized multicopters. As carbon fiber is the most preferred

material for UAV, Carbon Fiber CNC parts demand is increasing. Shanghai Lijin sticks to offering OEM service for the international market, fine quality and prompt delivery.To ensure the thickness tolerance +/-0.10mm and minimum warp of the Carbon Fiber plates that are used for the cutting, Shanghai lijin execute high standard to

the plate production. For the normal thicknesses including 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm,
Shanghai Lijin keeps regular stock, to make sure the raw material will be available for cutting immediately when order is firmed.Experienced engineers are in Shanghai Lijin’s office ready to deal with different types of

drawings from customers. No matter the drawing formats are .DWG, .DXF that can be edited by AutoCAD

and used directly for production, 3D drawings like .IGS, or even draft drawings, our staff can do adjustment and change to customer’s idea. Our engineers are also good at English communication, Email and IM is easy

for them. Editing drawings for customers is FREE* of charge. Shanghai Lijin is having several professional CNC machines for carbon fiber cutting and drilling, with the capacity of cutting 20-50pcs standard full sized plate per day. The carbon fiber chassis general cutting tolerance Shanghai Lijin offer is +/-0.02mm. The

special designed cutting solution ensures the smoothness of the cutting edge.

‘Customers’ Persuit for Change, Lijin’s Motivation for Growth’, Shanghai Lijin takes customers’ demand for center, enhances the
customer satisfaction, and grows with customer.
