Carbon fiber reinforced composites are ideal non-metallic materials for automotive panels. Its high strength can greatly reduce the body mass while ensuring the anti-collision performance of the car. Taking a carbon fiber car developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences as an example, on the metal car hood, the paint cover will be obviously dented when struck hard with a hammer, while the car body made of carbon fiber is very strong, and it will rebound rapidly after hitting the car cover hard, and there is no trace of damage to the surface of the body. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that the car made Carbon fiber reinforced composites are ideal non-metallic materials for automotive panels.
Domestic carbon fiber manufacturing has completed the hood, fender, trunk cover, door and other body covering parts of many models; Automotive carbon fiber composite material lightweight project of body structural parts such as roof cover, upper side beam, side beam, middle aisle, body, seat, battery box, chassis, etc. The project involves the replacement of lightweight components for fuel vehicles, and the lightweight solutions for new energy vehicles (including lithium battery vehicles and hydrogen fuel vehicles).
