I. Thermoplastic Carbon Fiber Composites Overview
Carbon Fiber Composites PA6 CF30 is a high-performance Thermoplastic Carbon Fiber Composite based on polyamide 6 (PA6) reinforced with 30% carbon fiber. This material combines PA6’s chemical resistance with the exceptional mechanical properties of carbon fiber, delivering significantly enhanced strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability for demanding engineering applications.
II. Carbon Fiber Composites PA6 CF30 Key Properties
1. High Tensile and Flexural Strength
Tensile strength reaches 210 MPa, with flexural strength of 280 MPa, markedly superior to unfilled PA6.
2. Excellent Heat Resistance
Heat deflection temperature (HDT) reaches 200°C, maintaining structural integrity in high-temperature environments.
3. Low Moisture Absorption and High Dimensional Stability
Equilibrium water absorption is only 1.8%, with minimal dimensional change, ideal for precision components.
4. High Stiffness Modulus
Flexural modulus reaches 9,500 MPa, providing outstanding resistance to deformation.
5. Good Fatigue and Wear Resistance
Maintains stable performance under cyclic loading, with 40% lower wear rate than pure PA6.
III. Material Main Applications
This Thermoplastic Carbon Fiber Composite is widely used in automotive engine components, drone structural parts, sports equipment, industrial machinery components, and electronic device housings where high strength and lightweight properties are critical.
IV. Carbon Fiber Composites PA6 CF30 in Automotive Engine Covers
A European automaker uses PA6 CF30 to manufacture engine covers, replacing traditional metal materials. The component reduces weight while offering excellent thermal stability and mechanical strength, effectively minimizing vibration noise and improving fuel economy—meeting strict engine compartment requirements.
For more technical details on Thermoplastic Carbon Fiber Composites, feel free to check our technical datasheet or contact us for quotes and catalogs. Note that matrix resin type, carbon fiber content, and manufacturing process significantly affect final properties. We recommend comparative testing with specific carbon fiber reinforced plastics based on your application needs to evaluate the suitability of PA6 CF30. Performance may vary between suppliers.
CFRTP VS. METALS
1. CFRTP exhibits the lowest density (1.50 g/cm³) among all compared materials, significantly outperforming traditional metals like steel (7.85 g/cm³) and copper (8.96 g/cm³), and even surpassing aluminum (2.70 g/cm³) and aluminum alloy (2.80 g/cm³). 2. In terms of strength-to-weight ratio, CFRTP demonstrates superior performance at 120 kN·m/kg, more than doubling the ratio of aluminum alloy (68 kN·m/kg) and far exceeding steel (26 kN·m/kg) and copper (14 kN·m/kg). 3. While steel shows the highest stiffness (200 GPa), CFRTP (150 GPa) outperforms aluminum (70 GPa), aluminum alloy (72 GPa), and copper (110 GPa), offering a favorable balance of rigidity and lightweight properties. 4. CFRTP achieves the highest corrosion resistance rating (9 on a 1-10 scale), surpassing all other materials including aluminum alloy (8), aluminum (7), copper (6), and steel (3), making it ideal for corrosive environments.
CFRTP VERSUS CFRP
1. CFRTP demonstrates significantly faster processing time (5 minutes) compared to CFRP (45 minutes), representing a 90% reduction in manufacturing duration. 2. In terms of recyclability, CFRTP outperforms CFRP by a large margin, scoring 9 on a 1-10 scale versus CFRP's score of 2. 3. CFRTP exhibits superior impact resistance (90 kJ/m²) compared to CFRP (65 kJ/m²), showing approximately 38% better performance in this category. 4. While CFRP has higher temperature resistance (220°C) than CFRTP (180°C), both materials maintain adequate thermal performance for most applications. 5. CFRTP offers greater design flexibility (rating of 90) compared to CFRP (rating of 60), providing more versatility in manufacturing and application scenarios.
