Lightweight High Strength 100% 3K Carbon Fiber Tube

Lightweight and High Strength 100% 3K Carbon Fiber Tube for Various Applications

Carbon fiber tubes are used in various industries due to their lightweight, durability, and high strength. In the aerospace industry, they are used in aircraft fuselages, wings, rotors, rockets, and spacecraft. Their lightweight improves fuel efficiency and performance. In the automotive industry, carbon fiber tubes are used in car chassis, sports car bodies, brake discs, and steering systems.

The combination of lightweight and high strength can enhance the performance of military equipment. To achieve maximum strength, layers of carbon fiber tubes are produced in both 0° and 90° directions, providing them with high strength in addition to the classic appearance of carbon fiber.

Carbon Fiber Tubes Technical Specifications and Applications:

Carbon fiber tubes are widely used in various industries due to their lightweight, durability, and high strength.

1. Aviation and Aerospace Industry: Used in aircraft fuselages, wings, rotors, rockets, and spacecraft. Their lightweight enhances fuel efficiency and performance.
2. Automotive Industry: Carbon fiber tubes are used in car chassis, sports car bodies, brake discs, and steering systems, aiding in weight reduction and performance enhancement.
3. Maritime Industry: Utilized in marine vessels, sailboats, mast poles, and underwater vehicles due to their resistance to seawater and lightweight nature.
4. Sports Equipment: Found in bicycle frames, golf clubs, fishing rods, tennis rackets, and kayak paddles, providing athletes with lightweight and durable equipment.
5. Construction Materials: Used in construction and building industries, particularly in applications like concrete reinforcement and strengthening.
6. Military Applications: Employed in military equipment such as armor plates, helicopter rotors, aircraft components, and weapon systems due to their lightweight and high durability, enhancing performance.

Carbon fiber tubes are manufactured using 100% carbon fiber epoxy prepreg. The layers are oriented at 0° and 90° angles for optimal strength. After curing, the tubes undergo calibration to ensure precise measurements. The TG value of our carbon fiber tubes is 120°C. Our 3k carbon fiber tubes can be used for demanding mechanical applications and offer a fantastic carbon fiber appearance. For a glossier look, the tubes can be coated with UV-resistant varnish, preventing them from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and resisting sea salt corrosion.

Production of Carbon Fiber Tubes:

Our carbon fiber tubes are manufactured using 100% carbon fiber epoxy prepreg. The prepreg layers are adjusted to ensure optimal orientation at 0° and 90° angles. After the curing process, the tubes undergo calibration to complete the measurement adjustments. The TG (glass transition) temperature of our carbon fiber tubes is 120°C.

Shanghai Lijin focuses on the Carbon Fiber industry and offers carbon fiber tubes, plates, and aluminum CNC services.

Being experienced in the carbon fiber applications for over 7 years, Shanghai Lijin manages customized production according to various industry standards. Shanghai Lijin started to keep in stock for some standard

sized and frequently ordered tubes and plates. This enables Shanghai Lijin to make prompt delivery. Not only

can Shanghai Lijin complete mass production orders in short period, we can even ship normal sample, prototype orders of Carbon Fiber Plate CNC parts in just SEVEN days after order confirmation when the

drawings are available. Shanghai Lijin is dedicated to solve any technical points during the production and new item developing to ensure the quality.

Carbon Fiber tube production is Shanghai Lijin’s core business and occupies 70% of our turnover.
The carbon fiber tubes Shanghai Lijin mainly produce is table-rolled and oven thermoset. The tubes can be Full Carbon or Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass composite, depending on the application, weight limit,mechanical

strength and surface requirement.Shanghai Lijin offers top quality ROUND carbon fiber tubes. The general OD tolerance we achieve is +/-0.10mm and it can be even +/-0.05mm after our special surface process.

The maximum length of the tube can be 5500mm.

Besides the traditional table-rolled carbon fiber tubes, Shanghai Lijin also offers REAL Filament wound carbon fiber tubes,which are widely used for mechanical strength like auto driving shaft, antennas, even for military

applications. The filament wound carbon tubes are wound at a certain angle like 30 or 45 degree. We invested the new production line from Jun 2013 and this increases Shanghai Lijin’s advantage in the carbon

fiber tube industry. There are just a few real filament wound carbon fiber tube manufacturers in domestic

China and we are one of them.

Since the rapid growth of UAV in the international market, instead of the standard plane like Phantom from DJI, RC fans are getting more interested in the customized multicopters. As carbon fiber is the most preferred

material for UAV, Carbon Fiber CNC parts demand is increasing. Shanghai Lijin sticks to offering OEM service for the international market, fine quality and prompt delivery.To ensure the thickness tolerance +/-0.10mm and minimum warp of the Carbon Fiber plates that are used for the cutting, Shanghai lijin execute high standard to

the plate production. For the normal thicknesses including 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm,
Shanghai Lijin keeps regular stock, to make sure the raw material will be available for cutting immediately when order is firmed.Experienced engineers are in Shanghai Lijin’s office ready to deal with different types of

drawings from customers. No matter the drawing formats are .DWG, .DXF that can be edited by AutoCAD

and used directly for production, 3D drawings like .IGS, or even draft drawings, our staff can do adjustment and change to customer’s idea. Our engineers are also good at English communication, Email and IM is easy

for them. Editing drawings for customers is FREE* of charge. Shanghai Lijin is having several professional CNC machines for carbon fiber cutting and drilling, with the capacity of cutting 20-50pcs standard full sized plate per day. The carbon fiber chassis general cutting tolerance Shanghai Lijin offer is +/-0.02mm. The

special designed cutting solution ensures the smoothness of the cutting edge.

‘Customers’ Persuit for Change, Lijin’s Motivation for Growth’, Shanghai Lijin takes customers’ demand for center, enhances the
customer satisfaction, and grows with customer.
