Carbon fiber composite materials have very high performance advantages, especially in terms of lighter weight. The automotive industry has higher requirements for lightweight, and there are many carbon fiber products used in the automotive field. However, some people are worried After carbon fiber products are applied to automobiles, will the safety be reduced? Let's answer them below.
A very important performance of a car is the safety performance of the car. When buying a car, it is also a problem that everyone will consider. Therefore, a large number of aluminum alloys, steel plates and other products are still used on the vehicle, which can better guarantee in the event of a collision. Safety of occupants in the vehicle. However, in the development of the car, it must also be able to reduce its own weight, which can better play a role in fuel efficiency and improve the acceleration performance of the vehicle. Therefore, there are also lightweight materials to replace the original iron and steel materials. If you wait for the phenomenon, if you raise the vehicle, you will find that many parts of the chassis are made of aluminum alloy.
In the application of carbon fiber material, it can have better weight reduction performance than aluminum alloy. The entire raw material density is only 1.6g/cm3. Compared with aluminum alloy material, it still has very high performance. I am worried that the tensile strength of carbon fiber composites can reach 3500MPa, while the tensile strength of aluminum alloys is only 420MPa. Under the targeted force analysis, after a reasonable layer is given, it can play a better role. Protective effects. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety of carbon fiber products applied to automobiles.
The racing car on the car is a model with a particularly high risk factor. Because the speed of the car is faster, it is more necessary to protect the safety of the drivers in the car. Carbon fiber products have been used. It can be seen that the safety of carbon fiber products is on the car. A place not to worry at all. The fundamental reason why there is no widespread application is actually more because the price of carbon fiber products will be higher.After the tensile strength is particularly high, many people worry about whether carbon fiber products will cause secondary harm in the case of impact. Don't worry about this, carbon fiber products are all carbon filaments. After it can be used, the energy can be quickly dispersed and absorbed. Even if it cannot be absorbed, part of the carbon filament will be broken, which will not cause the phenomenon that the entire carbon fiber product is inserted into the car horizontally. In more extreme cases, the carbon fiber product will also appear. Crushing damage will not bring secondary harm.
