Colorful Electroplated Carbon Fiberglass Fabric Cloth is a high-performance composite material, mainly composed of carbon fiber and glass fiber, and endowed with metallic luster and different colors through electroplating technology. It combines the advantages of carbon fiber and glass fiber, and further improves its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and aesthetics through electroplating process. The product is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automobile, electronics and sports equipment.
Main features and characteristics of the product:
Excellent mechanical properties:
High strength: Carbon fiber has excellent tensile strength and can withstand large loads.
High modulus: The rigidity of carbon fiber makes it suitable for use in scenarios where shape and strength need to be maintained.
Lightweight: Compared with metal materials, carbon fiber composite materials have a lower density, which helps to reduce the weight of the structure, especially suitable for fields requiring lightweight.
High temperature resistance: Carbon fiber itself is resistant to high temperatures and can maintain its strength and stability in high temperature environments, which makes it suitable for high temperature working environments such as aerospace and racing.
Corrosion resistance: The electroplated surface enhances the material's corrosion resistance and prevents carbon fiber and glass fiber from being corroded by external chemicals.
Good electromagnetic shielding performance: Due to the conductivity of the electroplated metal, the colored electroplated carbon fiber glass cloth can provide a certain electromagnetic shielding effect, which is especially important in electronic devices.
Visual aesthetics and diversity: The electroplating process gives the cloth a variety of colors and glosses on the surface, which can meet the appearance requirements of different fields and enhance the visual effect of the product.
Good wear resistance: Carbon fiber and glass fiber composites have high wear resistance and are suitable for high-frequency wear environments.
Excellent thermal conductivity: Due to the superior thermal conductivity of carbon fiber, it is very effective in certain applications that require heat conduction.
Main parameters:
Substrate:
Fiber material: carbon fiber (different specifications of carbon fiber can be used, such as T300, T700, etc.) and glass fiber (such as E-glass, S-glass, etc.).
Electroplating materials: Common electroplating materials include metals such as nickel, chromium, and copper, which give the surface different colors and glosses.
Weight and density: The density of fiber cloth is generally 1.4-1.6 g/cm³ (depending on the ratio of carbon fiber and glass fiber).
The thickness of the substrate is usually in the range of 0.1mm-1mm, which can be adjusted according to different application requirements.
Electroplating layer thickness:
The thickness of the electroplating layer is usually 2-5 microns, but it can also be customized as needed, affecting the surface gloss and durability.
Tensile strength:
The tensile strength of carbon fiber composites can reach 3000-5000 MPa, depending on the specific material and processing method.
Thermal stability:
The material can maintain stability in the temperature range of 200°C - 350°C.
Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness:
Due to the presence of the electroplated metal layer, an electromagnetic shielding effect of 20-40 dB can be provided, depending on the type and thickness of the electroplated metal.
