Carbon Fiber: Essential Bicycle Component

Considered as an interesting space-shuttle composite just 10 years ago, carbon fiber is now utilized in pretty much every bike element, from frames and components to helmets and shoe soles. Carbon fibers are made from carbon, the ever-present element that forms coal, graphite and diamond and is an element of each organic chemical and each life form on earth. Carbon is the fourth commonest element in the universe and the
Second commonest part in the body.

Polyacrylonitrile ( PAN ) fiber, also the source material for acrylic fiber, is made into carbon fiber by heating it to extreme temperatures, burning away basically everything aside from carbon. The ensuing 5-8 micron ( millionths of a meter ) thick fibers are a tenth the thickness of a human hair and made from carbon atoms strongly bonded together in minute crystals aligned parallel to the fibers axis. Robust and stiff, the fibers have a rigidity index of 33 million pounds per square in. ( MSI ) and a rough surface. Pricey processing can strip off this outer surface to reveal a thinner, smoother
Intermediate Modulus ( IM ) fiber that packs tighter with other fibers for higher rigidity per unit area. A higher priced processing can create High Modulus ( HM ) carbon fibers, which boasts a Youngs modulus stiffness of 42 MSI to 55 MSI or even more.

Common-modulus fibers are joined together into yarn and woven into fabric. A number followed by the letter K designates how many thousands of fibers are in a strand of the yarn ( as in 3K, for three thousand fibers per strand ). Woven fabric frequently comprises the top layer for cultured purposes, but most carbon fibers in a bike part instead come in flat sheets of firmly packed parallel fibers pre-impregnated with epoxy resin stuck to backing paper. Precisely cut pieces ( plies ) are stacked, or laid up, atop one another at opposing angles ( typically forty five degrees ), to oppose forces from different directions. Unlike metals, carbon fiber plies within the laminate structure can be oriented to form a composite structure that may be stiff in one direction and more
Flexible in another. Indeed, plies must be laid up at angles, because carbon fiber, like thread, is strong if you pull on it but far weaker if you push lengthwise on it or bend it sideways. However , in a carbon fiber tire bead, you do not need strength in stress alone, so orienting fibers at angles and gluing them together with resin allows the plies to work together, opposing forces from all directions. Subjecting the laminate to high pressure and heat in a mould pushes out air and excess resin.

Well-engineered carbon composite parts have high stiffness and strength, low density and high fatigue life but low elongation they can not stretch or bend much before they break. Screw ups come from not correctly engineering the directions and sorts of fibers to cope with the loads.
