2 x 2 Twill Weave Woven Finish Carbon Fibre Tube High Grade Roll Wrapped

High Grade Roll Wrapped 2 x 2 Twill Weave Woven Finish Carbon Fibre Tube

A woven finish carbon fiber tube refers to a type of cylindrical structure made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. Carbon fiber is a lightweight and incredibly strong material composed of thin fibers primarily composed of carbon atoms. It is widely used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, sports equipment, and more, due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

The term "woven finish" in this context refers to the specific pattern in which the carbon fibers are woven together during the manufacturing process. The carbon fibers are typically arranged in a specific weave pattern, such as twill or plain weave, which gives the tube its distinctive appearance. This weaving pattern not only adds to the structural integrity of the tube but also contributes to its aesthetic appeal.

The term "woven finish" essentially describes the outer appearance of the carbon fiber tube, which is achieved through the weaving pattern of the carbon fibers during the manufacturing process. It's worth noting that the choice of weave pattern can also impact the mechanical properties of the tube, including factors like stiffness and flexibility. Different industries and applications might prefer specific weave patterns based on their desired balance between strength, weight, and aesthetics.

These tubes are produced by wrapping pre-impregnated (pre-preg) carbon fibre under tension around a mandrel and then cured in a specialist oven. This produces a very consistent and high-quality finished tube for many different applications such as building or repairing UAVs, robotics, and RC products. Tubes can be sourced in many different sizes to those shown - please get in touch if you require a different or custom size.

All our carbon tubes in this section are roll wrapped using high grade carbon pre-preg, in a 2 x 2 twill weave pattern. Pre-preg is rolled onto a mandrel and placed in an oven to cure, resulting in a tube that is stiff and light.

These tubes can be used for robotics, UAV construction, leisure applications and anywhere that requires low weight but high stiffness.

Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes offer a wide range of features that make them highly desirable and superior to other materials. Some of the key features of Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes are:

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes have an incredibly high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning they are much stronger than traditional materials while also being lighter in weight.
• High Tensile Strength: These tubes have high tensile strength, meaning they can resist being pulled apart. As a result, they are ideal for applications requiring load-bearing structures and components.
• Excellent Fatigue Resistance: Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes are designed to withstand cyclic loading, which means they have excellent fatigue resistance. They can endure a high number of cyclic loads without structural degradation or failure.
• Corrosion Resistance: Carbon fibre is naturally resistant to corrosion, making Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes ideal for harsh environments like marine and outdoor applications.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes have good durability and can last for many years, even in harsh environments.
• Thermal Stability: Carbon fiber composite material has excellent thermal stability, which means it can operate in extreme temperature ranges without any loss of structural properties.
• Design Flexibility: Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes have a high degree of design flexibility. They can be produced in a wide range of shapes, and sizes and with a variety of layups and ply orientations, which means they can be optimized for specific applications.

Overall, the combination of these features makes Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tubes an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, including aerospace, automotive, marine, sporting, and industrial uses.
