What is Carbon Fiber Plate?

Carbon fiber plates are plates with structural features manufactured to make both surfaces smooth. Immediately after the decision is made to reinforce the buildings that are determined to be unstable against earthquakes, it is decided which of these fiber plates will be applied after the legal arrangements made immediately after the decision is made to reinforce the buildings.

This fiber plate provides a great advantage in the strengthening of structural elements for earthquakes in the columns and beams of buildings with the use of polymer material reinforced with carbon fibers.

This fiber plate is known as CFRP or FRP. It offers a great advantage in external reinforcement processes for reinforced concrete, masonry and wooden houses. This fiber plate is quite affordable compared to reinforced concrete reinforcement. However, it cannot be applied in every project. It is necessary to have good information in this direction and to start transactions within the scope of research.

More than 95% of this fiber plate consists of carbon atoms. Since it is a very fine fiber, it has a delicate structure. Organic fibers such as rayon and pitch are also preferred as raw materials.

Various studies are carried out in this direction by creating a substance called “Carbon fiber plate” as a result of various physical and chemical applications to some other by-products such as Orlon, nylon, tar. According to the use of tar material and orlon material, carbon fiber type is also evaluated with two different nomenclature.

Carbon Fiber Plate Usage Areas

Carbon Fiber Plate (Sheet) product, 100% carbon fiber epoxy prepreg is pressed under high temperature and pressure. It is a manufactured product and is offered for sale in accordance with quality standards within the scope of OMNIS. High quality carbon fiber is used in its production. They are prepared for your needs as high performance, smooth records that are equally smooth on both sides. Designed to meet the most exacting standards of any carbon fiber sheet, they are considered decorative and structural engineering plates.

Areas of use for carbon fiber include general engineering, robotic applications, aerospace, aviation and motorsports.

Today, it is possible to say that the usage areas of these fiber plates have become wider thanks to their properties. This fiber plate, which is widely preferred in aircraft, rocket systems, satellites, skeleton systems of racing cars, makes a name for itself in these areas.

Leading aviation companies such as Airbus and Boeing also use this fiber plate in the manufacturing process of their aircraft.

If we give a detailed example of these fiber plate usage areas;

Maritime
Electric electronics
Aviation
Construction
Public – infrastructure applications
Automotive
Wind energy
Examples include sports and entertainment.

When we look at the production process of this fiber plate, it is seen that it consists of four basic stages such as oxidation, carbonization, surface treatment and coating.

Oxidation

In the first step, the fibers are heated in air up to 300 ᵒC. This process ensures the separation of hydrogen from the fiber. It is then easier to add volatile oxygen. Immediately afterwards, the fibers are cut for the preparation time before the carbonization stage is carried out. Fibers placed in graphite vessels show a transformation from a polymer ladder structure to a stable ring structure. During this process, the color of the fiber changes from white to brown. In the final stage of oxidation, it turns black.

Carbonization (Carbonization)

The fibers are heated up to 3000 °C in a non-flammable atmosphere. The process of ensuring 100% carbonization of the fibers is called carbonization. The temperature applied in the carbonization process is the main factor in determining the class of fiber produced.

Surface Improvement

It is important to clean the surface of the carbon. In order for the fiber to adhere better to the resin of the composite material, it is placed in an electrolyte bath. Surface improvement is being carried out. This ensures an efficient transition to the coating phase.

Coating

At this point, a neutral termination process is carried out to protect the fibers from further processing. The fiber is coated with resin and the coating process is started. In general, epoxy is used for this coating process. Since it acts as an interface between the resin to be used in the composite material and the fiber, it is necessary to perform the coating process carefully.

How is Carbon Fiber Plate Produced?

This fiber plate is a product that can be produced in any size you want. Produced from 100% fiber fabric and high TG epoxy resin pressed under high temperature and pressure, this fiber plate provides ease of use and advantage in many areas mentioned above.

The superior quality carbon fiber fabric and epoxy resin system preferred in its production are very important. These records, which are sold as high-performance, smooth records with both sides in the same direction, have been developed more and more recently. Since carbon fiber plaques are structural plaques produced for non-decorative applications, they are frequently preferred in areas where decorative problems are experienced.

In the fields of machine equipment, this fiber plate can be designed and produced in the desired size.

This fiber plate can be prepared in line with the desired high strength and light weight properties in line with your desired size.

If we look at these fiber plate (sheet) dimensions; our high-strength fiber plates are always available in OMNIS catalogs in various thicknesses. The standard size is 480 mm x 480 mm.

Since it is possible to realize production in different thicknesses and sizes you want, it will be correct to do research in this direction before completing the purchasing process.

In order for a fiber plate to meet your requirements, you need to analyze certain factors.

It is made of 100% carbon fiber plate and special type epoxy resin pressed under pressure layer by layer. Thanks to the fiber plate, which is produced by controlled curing at high temperatures, it is possible to realize your requests. In line with the high quality raw materials used and precise production techniques, OMNIS always offers you these high quality fiber plates.

Above, we talked about what this fiber plate is, its properties, the advantages of its properties, and the areas in which its structure is suitable for use.

If you want to buy these fiber plates, what you need to do is to do a good research on this issue. After conducting your research, you can choose a fiber plate suitable for the area you will use. In this way, you can take advantage of the advantages of fiber plates in a correct and effective way. You can examine the carbon fiber plates in the OMNIS catalog and take a look at their features. It will help you gain knowledge in this direction.
