  3. Definition of Carbon Fiber  Carbon fiber  is also sometimes called graphite fiber. It has the highest compressive strength of all the reinforcing materials (composite materials), and it has a high strength-to-weight ratio and low coefficient of thermal expansion. The density of carbon fiber is also much lower than the density of steel.

  4. History of Carbon Fiber • In 1958, the first high-performance carbon fibers were created by Dr. Roger Bacon at the Parma Technical Center outside of Cleveland, OH.  • On the 14th of January 1969, Carr Reinforcements wove the first-ever Carbon fiber fabric in the world.

  5. Physical Properties •   The carbon fiber has a black color . •       It has a melting point of 3697 degrees Celsius. •       It has a boiling point of 4200 degrees Celsius. •       Its density is 2.267 g/cm³.

  6. Electrical properties  • Carbon fiber can conduct electricity, and its conduction of electricity is improved by adding some other materials, but compared to other metals such as copper, silver and aluminum, the electrical conductivity of carbon fibers is significantly low for its efficient use in practical applications.

  7. Mechanical Properties  • High Hardness: Carbon fibers are tougher than steel, but lighter than steel, which makes them ideal for use in a wide variety of equipment. • high modulus • High tensile strength. • Low thermal expansion coefficient. • Resistant to combustion.

  8. Thermal and Chemical properties  • High temperature tolerance:  Carbon fiber can withstand high temperatures, due to its high melting temperature compared to many other metals such as iron and steel. •    High resistance to chemicals:  Carbon fiber is characterized by its high resistance to chemicals when exposed to it, in addition to its resistance to interaction with other materials.

  9. Carbon fiber production and processing • Carbon Fiber is made by weaving strand of tiny fibers of carbon together. • It's molecular structure consists of carbon and polycarbonate molecules.

  10. Carbon fiber production and processing

  11. Carbon fiber Uses  • The exterior car body industry What distinguishes the exterior car bodies made of carbon fiber is its high durability, and it also has the advantage of reducing the weight of the car body, and this is the thing that is popular with car manufacturers.

  12. Carbon fiber Uses • Aircraft interior components •  When talking about the aircraft industry, one of the most important things is durability and light weight. 

  13. Carbon fiber Uses • Bicycle industry  Bicycles made using carbon fiber are characterized by their high durability, resistance to stress, and light weight.

  14. Carbon fiber Uses • Scientific instrumentation and equipment Carbon fiber has become a popular material in the manufacture of measuring instruments and scientific equipment due to its stability and low coefficient of thermal expansion.

  15. Advantages of Carbon Fiber • Lightweight . • Easily molded into complex shapes . • Weighs a quarter of the equivalent amount of steel , but can cope with twice the load.

  16. Disadvantages of Carbon Fiber • Cost . • Brittle (shatters like glass) . • The main adverse effect is that a factory is needed to produce carbon fiber,  which pollutes the atmosphere.

  17. Future of carbon fiber • With many of the advantages of carbon fiber and the versatility of its use in many areas of life, the future of carbon fiber will be very bright, and most industries will depend on it mainly.
