Other Frequently Asked Questions:

What is forged carbon fiber?

Forged carbon fiber, also known as forged composite, is made from chopped carbon fibers. This is different from woven carbon fiber, which is a fabric sheet to form a continuous fabric pattern.

Is forged composite better than woven carbon fiber?

Forged carbon fiber has a higher fiber volume content compared to woven carbon fiber. Additionally, forged carbon fiber follows no specific weave pattern, giving it a higher variation in how the fibers are oriented. This enables the ability to form complex 3-dimensional shapes.

Is forged carbon fiber stronger than steel?

Steel is generally considered the standard for industrial parts due to its strength to weight ratio. However, carbon fiber is taking over because it’s actually far stronger than steel. So long as you partner with a manufacturer capable of producing forged carbon fiber parts in a cost-effective manner, forged composite is the superior choice.

Does forged carbon fiber rust or scratch?

One of the greatest advantages of forged carbon fiber is that it is water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and very scratch-resistant. The resin solution utilized for the application is critical to maintain the quality of the part. At Covalo industries we utilize multiple approved suppliers to ensure the best products are selected for the job. This means your carbon fiber parts will never rust like steel parts do, and they will continue looking like new for longer.

Is forged carbon cheaper than carbon fiber?

There is not a significant difference in the cost of materials between carbon fiber and forged carbon fiber, but forged composite has a shorter processing time. The resin systems used have a shorter time to cure and less complexity is required with the materials layup oritentation. These difference make for a shorter time to process, reducing the parts overall cost. Our team will happily provide you with a quote if you’re interested in assessing costs.
