Carbon fiber rods are solid cylindrical structures made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Similar to carbon fiber tubes, they offer exceptional strength, stiffness and lightweight. However, unlike tubes, the rods do not have a hollow center and are used for different purposes.
The manufacturing process for carbon fiber rods involves impregnating carbon fiber bundles with resin and then subjecting them to heat and pressure to cure the composite. The resulting solid carbon fiber rods exhibit excellent mechanical properties and can be machined or cut to the desired length.
The pultruded carbon fiber rods can vary in diameter, length and the number of carbon fiber bundles used, allowing for customization based on specific requirements and applications.
Overall, carbon fiber rods offer a combination of strength, lightweight and durability, making them a popular choice for industries where performance and weight reduction are crucial factors. Get customized sizes and lengths when selecting them for a particular application.
