Keywords : Carbon fibre, C/C composites, high and normal temperature range products


Abstract

Carbon fibre is a very lightweight and very strong material showing wide range of properties. It can be used to make carbon/ carbon (C/C) composites. C/C composites are capable of finding applications in all fields of life due to its versatile nature of properties. At the time of selection of material for the manufacturing of product, so many properties are required to be considered keeping in mind the use of the product. Dimensional stability, heat resistance, chemical resistance, high thermal conductivity, high rigidity are the properties observed in carbon fibre reinforced plastic molded products. This paper gives note of some important products made from C/C composites and carbon fibre. Brake disc pad, high temperature furnace shielding, illizarov external fixator rings, pipes and tubes made from this material is used showing variety of applications. Opportunities and challenges for C/C composite material are also analyzed briefly.
