Customized Size 100% 3K Woven Carbon Fiber Tube 10mm 20mm 30mm

Woven carbon fiber tubes are lightweight, strong, and aesthetically appealing, making them ideal for various applications, including aerospace, robotics, sports equipment, and automotive industries. These tubes are made using a woven fabric rather than unidirectional fibers, resulting in improved crush resistance, impact resistance, and multidirectional strength.

Key Features of Woven Carbon Fiber Tubes

• Strength & Durability: High tensile strength with excellent fatigue resistance.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The woven pattern provides a premium look, often used in visible applications.
• Impact Resistance: Better than unidirectional tubes, making them ideal for structural components.
• Lightweight: Offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to metal alternatives.
• Customizability: Available in different weaves, diameters, and finishes (matte, gloss, or raw carbon).

Common Weave Patterns

• Plain Weave: Uniform look, high stability, and abrasion resistance.
• Twill Weave: More flexible, with a diagonal pattern often seen in high-end applications.
• Harness Satin Weave: Used in aerospace for superior strength and durability.

Woven Carbon Fiber Tubes

Woven carbon fiber tubes are constructed from carbon fibers woven into a fabric before being rolled into tubes. The woven pattern provides strength and stiffness in multiple directions, making these tubes more versatile than unidirectional tubes. Woven tubes are commonly used in applications requiring balanced mechanical properties, such as bicycle frames, automotive components, and general industrial use. The interlaced fibers help distribute loads evenly, reducing the risk of delamination and improving impact resistance. Woven carbon fiber tubes typically exhibit tensile strengths around 2.5 GPa and moduli of elasticity around 200 GPa. These tubes have densities ranging from 1.5 to 1.6 g/cm³, contributing to their lightweight and robust performance.

Twill Weave

Twill weave carbon fiber tubes feature a pattern where the fibers are woven in a diagonal pattern, creating a distinctive appearance and providing a balance between strength and flexibility. This weave type enhances the tube's impact resistance and is commonly used in automotive and sporting goods applications. Twill weave patterns can vary in density and angle, affecting the tube's mechanical properties and visual appeal. The typical angle for a twill weave is 45 degrees, providing a good compromise between tensile strength and flexibility. Twill weave tubes can have tensile strengths of up to 2.7 GPa and a density of approximately 1.55 g/cm³. Examples of applications include bicycle frames, racing car body panels, and high-performance sports equipment such as ski poles and hockey sticks.

Satin Weave

Satin weave carbon fiber tubes have a smooth surface finish and excellent drapability, making them ideal for applications requiring a high-quality appearance and intricate shapes. This weave type is often used in aerospace and high-end consumer products. The satin weave provides a unique combination of aesthetic appeal and mechanical performance, with good resistance to abrasion and wear. Satin weave tubes typically have a higher fiber volume fraction, around 60-65%, which contributes to their superior surface finish and strength. These tubes can achieve tensile strengths up to 2.6 GPa and have densities of about 1.54 g/cm³. Applications include aircraft interior components, luxury car trim, and high-end electronic device housings.

Basket Weave

Basket weave carbon fiber tubes feature a crisscross pattern that provides high stability and strength. This weave type is used in applications where dimensional stability and load distribution are critical, such as in construction and heavy-duty industrial applications. The basket weave enhances the tube's resistance to delamination and improves overall structural integrity. These tubes can handle high transverse loads and exhibit tensile strengths up to 2.8 GPa, with densities typically around 1.56 g/cm³. Examples of applications include construction scaffolding, heavy-duty industrial rollers, and reinforcement structures in civil engineering projects.

Leno Weave

Leno weave carbon fiber tubes are characterized by a twisted fiber pattern that locks the fibers in place, enhancing the tube's stability and resistance to slippage. This weave type is suitable for applications requiring high strength and minimal deformation under load. The leno weave structure provides excellent dimensional stability and is resistant to shearing forces. Leno weave tubes have high interlaminar shear strength, typically around 40 MPa, which helps prevent delamination under load. Their tensile strength can reach up to 2.9 GPa, with densities around 1.53 g/cm³. Applications include wind turbine blades, high-stress machine components, and protective casings for sensitive equipment.

Mock Leno Weave

Mock leno weave carbon fiber tubes mimic the leno weave's stability and resistance to slippage while being easier to manufacture. This weave type is used in applications requiring a balance between strength and production efficiency. Mock leno weave offers a cost-effective solution with good mechanical performance and processability. These tubes can achieve tensile strengths around 2.6 GPa and are often used in applications where manufacturing speed and cost are critical factors. The density of mock leno weave tubes is typically around 1.55 g/cm³. Examples of applications include mass-produced automotive parts, structural components in consumer electronics, and lightweight frames for drones and UAVs.

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.
