Material Properties of Carbon Fibers

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on sourcing material properties for 34-600 fiber and NCT 301-1 resin used in fiber reinforced polymers, particularly for applications in extreme temperatures. The user identified Rock West Company as a supplier of quasi-isotropic layup materials. They are seeking specific material data for the 34-600 fiber and NCT 301-1 resin, with preliminary research indicating that the resin is an epoxy. Links to relevant documentation from Grafil and Newport Adhesives were provided for further reference.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fiber reinforced polymer composites
  • Familiarity with material property data sheets
  • Knowledge of epoxy resin characteristics
  • Experience with sourcing materials for engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanical properties of 34-600 fiber from Grafil's documentation
  • Investigate the specific characteristics of NCT 301-1 epoxy resin from Newport Adhesives
  • Explore the implications of using quasi-isotropic layups in composite design
  • Learn about material testing methods for fiber reinforced polymers in extreme conditions
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and researchers involved in composite material design and testing, particularly those focusing on high-performance applications in extreme environments.

I'm working on a computer model that simulates material damage in fiber reinforced polymers in extreme temperatures. I have looked around to find where I can buy some and get material properties. So far the best place I have found is Rock West Company with their quasi-isotropic lay (0,45,90,135). They also have listed their materials they use for this type: 34-600 fiber and NCT 301-1 resin. I have sent an email requesting material data, but I don't know how long that will. This bring me to my question. Does anyone know where I can find the material properties for the 34-600 Fiber and NCT 301-1 resin?

Thanks

This fiber? http://www.grafil.com/images/newpdf/grafil/34-600_03_2010.pdf

Quick search on the resin seems it's an epoxy resin. Can you generalize from average epoxy values? Is it Newport Adhesives resin? http://www.newportad.com/pdf/PL.NB-301.pdf
