Pitch based carbon fiber, prepreg and fabric
A Carbon Fiber is a fibrous carbon material made by Acrylic material or from oil/coal pitch and then by being given a heat treatment.
The most attractive reason to use carbon fiber is light weight and higher stiffness than conventional metal materials.
The specific gravity of carbon fiber is about one fourth of steel. The specific modulus, a value of modulus / gravity, of carbon fiber is about seven times higher than that of steel.
Nippon Graphite Fiber is leading manufacture of Pitch Based Carbon Fiber.
