Properties and Benefits of Carbon Fiber Tubes

Strength-to-Weight Ratio

One of the most significant advantages of carbon fiber tubes is their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber tubes are known to be up to five times stronger than steel while weighing only one-fifth as much. This makes them ideal for applications where weight savings are crucial without compromising structural integrity. The specific strength (strength per unit density) of carbon fiber tubes can reach values around 1500 kNm/kg, significantly higher than that of traditional materials like aluminum and steel. This property is particularly beneficial in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods, where reducing weight can lead to enhanced performance and fuel efficiency.

Moreover, carbon fiber tubes can be customized to achieve even higher specific strengths for advanced applications, such as in the construction of space structures or high-performance sports equipment. The ability to combine different fiber orientations within a single tube can enhance specific properties like torsional strength or impact resistance. For example, hybrid carbon fiber tubes, which incorporate other high-strength materials such as Kevlar, can achieve tensile strengths up to 4.0 GPa, making them suitable for extreme environments and high-stress applications. The density of carbon fiber tubes typically ranges from 1.5 to 1.6 g/cm³, contributing to their lightweight nature and ease of handling.

Corrosion Resistance

Carbon fiber tubes exhibit excellent resistance to corrosion, unlike metals such as steel and aluminum, which can degrade over time when exposed to moisture and chemicals. This corrosion resistance makes carbon fiber tubes ideal for use in harsh environments, including marine, industrial, and chemical processing applications. The inert nature of the carbon fibers and the stability of the epoxy resin matrix contribute to this resistance, ensuring long-term durability and reduced maintenance costs. Carbon fiber composites maintain their structural integrity and performance in environments where metals would fail, contributing to longer service life and lower lifecycle costs.

The high corrosion resistance of carbon fiber tubes also translates into significant cost savings over the lifecycle of a product. For instance, offshore oil and gas platforms use carbon fiber tubes for risers and other structural components to avoid the frequent and costly maintenance required for steel alternatives. The annual maintenance cost for steel risers can exceed $100,000, whereas carbon fiber risers require minimal upkeep, potentially reducing maintenance costs by up to 80%. Furthermore, the non-reactive nature of carbon fiber makes it an ideal choice for biomedical applications, where biocompatibility and resistance to body fluids are essential for long-term implants and prosthetics. Carbon fiber composites do not elicit immune responses, making them suitable for medical implants such as prosthetic limbs and spinal rods. The chemical inertness of carbon fiber, combined with its mechanical properties, ensures that it can be used in environments where other materials would fail or require extensive protective measures. Carbon fiber's biocompatibility reduces the risk of adverse reactions and extends the lifespan of medical devices and implants, often exceeding 20 years without degradation.

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
