Spread tow carbon fiber woven fabric is an advanced type of composite material, known for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. It is constructed by spreading carbon fiber tows (bundles of continuous carbon fibers) into thin, flat tapes before weaving them into a fabric. This spreading process allows for a better alignment of fibers and a more uniform distribution, which can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the fabric.

Advantages:

l  Lightweight:

Carbon fibers are inherently light, and the spreading process reduces crimp – areas where fibers are bent – thus providing a lighter fabric compared to traditional carbon fiber fabrics.

l  Increased Strength:

The alignment and distribution of fibers increase the tensile strength (resistance to pulling forces) and the load-carrying capacity of the composite material.

l  High Stiffness:

Carbon fiber is known for its outstanding stiffness, which means it resists deformation under stress.

l  Durability:

Spread tow fabrics have increased abrasion resistance and durability due to the efficient use of fibers and reduced amount of matrix (epoxy resin) needed.

l  Enhanced Surface Finish:

The flat, smooth nature of spread tow fabric leads to a better surface finish after production, beneficial for applications where aesthetics are important.

l  Reduced Weight:

The material provides potential weight reductions for applications where less material can be used without sacrificing structural integrity.

l  Thermal and Electrical Conductivity:

These fabrics can be tailored for specific conductivity properties, desirable in various applications.

l  Corrosion Resistance:

Carbon fiber does not corrode, making it suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions.

Application:

l  Aerospace and Aviation:

for parts like fuselages, wings, and propellers.

l  Automotive Industry:

in high-performance and race cars, especially for body panels, chassis, and other structural components.

l  Sporting Goods:

for manufacturing lightweight and strong equipment like bicycle frames, tennis rackets, and golf clubs.

l  Marine Industry:

in the construction of hulls and masts for performance boats and yachts.

Wind Energy:for creating strong and lightweight blades for wind turbines.
