Carbon fiber is a long, thin strand of material about 0.0002-0.0004 in (0.005-0.010 mm) in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn, which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. The yarn or fabric is combined with epoxy and wound or molded into shape to form various composite materials. Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials are used to make aircraft carbon fiber compared to human hair and spacecraft parts, racing car bodies, golf club shafts, bicycle frames, fishing rods, automobile springs, sailboat masts, and many other components where light weight and high strength are needed.
In consumption market, the growth rate of global consumption is smooth relatively. North America, Europe and Japan are still the main consumption regions due to the advanced technology and rapid development of economy.
Carbon fiber can be classified as two types, which depends on the number of fiber, including regular-tow carbon fiber and large-tow carbon fiber. Carbon fiber products offer advantages for advanced material solutions such as light-weight; high-tensile strength, manufacturing flexibility and heat resistance. It can be widely used in many fields. Survey results showed that 19.54% of the carbon fiber market is consumed in aerospace industry, 18.54% in sports/leisure, and the largest consumer is industrial materials with 61.92% in 2016.
The raw material used to make carbon fiber is called the precursor. About 90% of the carbon fibers produced are made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The remaining 10% are made from rayon or petroleum pitch. On the global market, supply of raw materials is sufficient.
