Tips for using carbon fiber reinforced carbon composites mainly include the following aspects:
Choose appropriate material properties: There are many types of carbon fiber composites, with different physical and chemical properties and different performances. For example, epoxy resin carbon fiber composites are flammable and not suitable for high temperature environments. It is necessary to select materials with flame retardant functions. In addition, according to actual needs, special types of carbon fiber composites such as high temperature resistance and flame retardant can be developed.
Reasonable design: The mechanical properties of carbon fiber composites can be effectively improved through reasonable design. Design includes not only the design of materials, but also the design of finished product structures. Different molding processes have a direct impact on the finished products of carbon fiber composites. Therefore, it is necessary to fully consider many factors in the design, including material performance, cost, and operating requirements.
Multi-material integrated application: Although carbon fiber composites have many advantages, they are expensive and are not suitable for every part of the robot. In the design, they should be used in coordination with other types of materials, such as using carbon fiber composites in parts with high load requirements, and using honeycomb or hollow structures in parts with low load requirements, so as to give full play to the lightweight advantages of carbon fiber composites.
Construction skills: During the construction process, it is necessary to ensure that the epoxy resin fully penetrates the carbon fiber material and firmly bonds it. In addition, the carbon fiber composite material needs to be firmly bonded to the existing structural components to form a new structural component to withstand stress. The construction process includes clearing obstacles, laying out and checking lines, cleaning the concrete structure surface where the carbon fiber cloth is glued, preparing and applying primer, sticking the carbon fiber cloth, surface protection and inspection, etc.
