The Carbon Fiber Market: What’s Driving the Surge in Demand?
The Carbon Fiber Market: What’s Driving the Surge in Demand? 1. Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Lighter, Stronger, Smarter One of carbon fiber’s most prized properties is its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. With a tensile strength between 500–700 ksi and a low density of just 1.6 g/cm³, carbon fiber dramatically outperforms traditional metals. By comparison, aluminum—a common lightweight material—has…
