Verwendung von Kohlenstoff-Fasern im Apparatebau

Use of carbon fibres in equipment constuction . Carbon fibres are characterized by high tensile strengths, high modulus of elasticity, and good corrosion resistance. They are therefore especially suitable for reinforcement of components made of plastics (CFC). Carbon fibre reinforced parts made of resin-impregnated graphite withstand higher mechanical stress and offer greater reliability in operation. CFP materials is an economical alternative to high-alloyed steel for use in corrosive media. Apart from graphite CFC is one of the few materials of construction suitable for use up to temperatures of over 2000 °C. It has also been sucessfully used for highly corrosion-resistant equipment such as grids and piping.
