Carbon fiber tube is one of the most widely used carbon fiber basic products and one of the most important application forms of carbon fiber composite materials. Similar to other applications, carbon fiber tube is also a lightweight material favored in many fields due to its "light and strong" performance advantage. Based on its many years of carbon fiber tube production experience and customer accumulation analysis, Boss currently has the following market demand and potential application areas for carbon fiber tubes:
1.Carbon fiber tube used in sports and leisure
Carbon fiber tube was first applied to golf clubs and fishing rods in the field of sports and leisure. This is also one of the earliest consumption channels to promote the development of carbon fiber. As many as ten years ago, the consumption of carbon fiber on golf clubs accounted for one-tenth of the world's consumption. In recent years, sports products such as tennis rackets, badminton rackets, hockey sticks, bicycles, and sports gear have also been used. Carbon fiber materials are increasingly used.
The net weight of a golf club made of carbon fiber tube is only about 50g, while the steel shaft of the same specification weighs more than 120g. The carbon fiber tube reduces weight while giving the club better elasticity and toughness, and it has less vibration, better balance during exercise, and brings more comfort to users. Another example is the bicycle made of carbon fiber tube, which is beautiful in appearance and has a modern sense of technology, especially its light weight and good bearing capacity. It is suitable for outdoor sports and is popular among outdoor riders.

The carbon fiber tube in this kind of supplies can effectively optimize the user's experience, and the lighter weight material can reduce the user's physical exertion and increase the pleasure of exercise. Stronger materials can also reduce the possibility of bending and deformation of the equipment and extend the service life of the equipment. The application technology of carbon fiber in the field of sports and leisure is relatively mature, so the demand for carbon fiber in this field shows a steady growth trend.
2.Carbon fiber tube used in drone field
The carbon fiber tube is light in weight and high in strength. It can be applied to different body parts of the drone when designing and assembling, such as the arm and the wing skeleton. Compared with aluminum alloy materials, it can increase the weight reduction effect by 30%, which can improve the aircraft. The endurance and increase the load capacity. Carbon fiber material itself has high tensile strength, energy absorption, shock resistance, and good corrosion resistance. It also makes the drone's service life longer. Bo Shi found through research on its own customers that most consumer-grade aerial drones and agricultural plant protection drones use carbon fiber tubes as the main structure, which not only can reduce the weight of the drone, increase the endurance, but also increase the Human machine life.

3.Carbon fiber tube used in lightweight industrial equipment
Carbon fiber tube can be used as the carbon fiber roller of the roller body, which can be widely used in printing, paper making, plastic, textile, film, lithium battery pole sheet winding machine and other industries. Although this type of application is relatively simple in structural design, the technical level of the carbon fiber itself is higher. The more precise the machine is, the more strict the roll balance and concentricity requirements are. The technical indicators of the carbon fiber tube will directly affect The stability of the roller's high-speed rotation has an impact on the performance of the entire machine.

Compared with the shaft products of aluminum alloy, the roller shaft made of high-precision carbon fiber tube has outstanding performance advantages. According to the samples of carbon fiber roller shafts that Bo Shi has valued for customers, the lighter material of carbon fiber roller shafts can reduce the inertia, make the machine start and stop faster, increase the speed of the roller shafts, and effectively improve production efficiency and Product quality, while effectively reducing energy consumption.
4.Carbon fiber tubes are used in heat-sensitive fields
Compared with metal materials and other materials, carbon fiber composite materials have a coefficient of linear expansion close to zero and good dimensional stability. In thermally sensitive areas, temperature changes will have a certain impact on measurement accuracy and will be more pronounced in high-end aerospace instruments. Therefore, in the field of heat sensitivity, more and more carbon fiber tubes are used. The use of carbon fiber tubes can not only fundamentally reduce the weight of the instrument itself and reduce the cost of use. The performance advantages of carbon fiber materials also help improve the advanced of scientific research equipment. Sex.

At present, the carbon fiber tube produced by Carbon Fiber materials has developed its own technical team to extend the long-term working temperature range of carbon fiber composite materials to -200 ℃ -350 ℃, and can apply carbon fiber composite materials to high-speed rail, automotive, and aerospace structures. Pieces. Nowadays, the application of carbon fiber composite materials in high-end fields such as aerospace has become one of the important indicators that can be measured in this field.
Boxi believes that although the current market price of carbon fiber tubes hinders its application on more levels, to a certain extent, this bottleneck will be gradually broken with the continuous improvement of technological levels and the promotion of mass production models. . From the perspective of the depth and trend of market demand, the development of carbon fiber tubes will develop towards special functions and design combinations. In short, the basicity of the product determines the market demand, and the future development of carbon fiber pipes cannot be underestimated. It will play an increasingly important role in the lightweight process of replacing metal pipes.
