Carbon Fiber Thickness

As previously mentioned, raw carbon fiber is manufactured in tiny filaments (around 7 microns), these filaments are bundled into rovings which are wound onto spools. The spools of fiber are later used directly in processes like pultrusion or filament winding, or they can be woven into fabrics.

These carbon fiber rovings are comprised of thousands of filaments, and are almost always a standard amount. These are:

1,000 filaments (1k carbon fiber)3,000 filaments (3k carbon fiber)6,000 filaments (6k carbon fiber)12,000 filaments (12k carbon fiber)

This is why if you hear an industry professional talking about carbon fiber, they might say, "I am using a 3k T300 plain weave fabric." Well, now you will know that they are using a carbon fiber fabric that is woven with Toray standard modulus CF fiber, and it is using fiber that has 3,000 filaments per strand.It should go without saying then, that the thickness of a 12k carbon fiber roving will be twice that of a 6k, four times as a 3k, etc.

Carbon Fiber Cloth

Spools of carbon fiber are taken to a weaving loom, where the fibers are then woven into fabrics. The two most common types of weaves are "plain weave" and "twill." Plain weave is a balanced checker board pattern, where each strand goes over then under each strand in the opposite direction. Whereas a twill weave looks like a wicker basket. Here, each strand goes over one opposing strand, then under two.

Both twill and plain weaves have an equal amount of carbon fiber going each direction, and their strengths will be very similar. The difference is primarily an aesthetic appearance.

Every company that weaves carbon fiber fabrics will have their own terminology. For example, a 3k plain weave by Hexcel is called "HexForce 282," and is commonly called "282" (two eighty two) for short. This fabric has 12 strands of 3k carbon fiber per inch, in each direction. The weight of this fabric is 5.8oz/yd2, or 197gsm.

So now if you hear someone say, "I need a roll of 282." You can quip back, "Right, the 3k plain weave."

The difference of Carbon Fiber Plate and Metal

We can’t yet see carbon fiber plate replacing steel but it is replacing metal in many applications where, for example, aluminium would be the metal of choice. Typical uses for carbon fiber plate include Robotics, UAVs, aerospace, motorsport and marine applications, and even musical instruments. Veneers have also been used to strengthen bone fracture repairs in patients with osteoporosis.
