Other Frequently Asked Questions:
What is forged carbon fiber?
Forged carbon fiber, also known as forged composite, is made from a carbon fiber paste or tiny pieces of chopped carbon fiber. This is different from woven carbon fiber, where carbon fiber forerunners like rayon are chemically heated, stretched, and carbonized.
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. As a result, forged carbon fiber is stronger and it’s ideal for parts with 90-degree angles and odd shapes where the weave of woven carbon fiber would likely become distorted.
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 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. 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 is considered superior in strength and durability, especially when working with complex shapes. Our team will happily provide you with a quote if you’re interested in assessing costs.
