More on multiaxial (NCF) fabrics

What Are Multiaxial Carbon Fiber Fabrics (NCF) Used For?

Multiaxial carbon fiber fabrics (non-crimp fabrics) are commonly used in industries requiring lightweight yet strong materials, such as aerospace, automotive, wind energy, and marine applications. Their multiple fiber orientations provide enhanced strength and stiffness for structural parts, such as aircraft components, car body panels, and wind turbine blades.

How Do Non-Crimp Fabrics (NCF) Improve Performance?

Unlike traditional woven fabrics, NCFs align fibers without crimping or bending, maintaining straight fiber paths. This improves mechanical performance by enhancing tensile strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance. NCFs also reduce stress concentrations, offering better durability and impact resistance compared to woven alternatives.

What Are the Advantages of Multiaxial NCF Over Woven Fabrics?

- Higher Mechanical Strength: Straight, non-crimped fibers maximize load-bearing capacity.
- Improved Resin Flow: NCF’s open structure allows better resin penetration during infusion processes.
- Tailored Layering: Fibers can be oriented at multiple angles (0°, 90°, ±45°) for customized performance.
- Reduced Weight: Optimized strength-to-weight ratio ideal for weight-sensitive applications.

What Fiber Orientations Are Available in Sky Composites’ NCF Products?

Sky Composites offers a wide range of customizable multiaxial configurations, including unidirectional, biaxial (0°/90° or ±45°), triaxial (+45°/0°/-45°), and quadriaxial (+45°/90°/-45°/0°) setups. These orientations allow precise tailoring for specific load-bearing requirements, making them suitable for various applications, from structural reinforcement to dynamic load management. Additional customization options, such as glass scrims or powdering, are available to optimize performance further

More on woven fabrics

What Are Woven Carbon Fiber Fabrics Used For?

Woven carbon fiber fabrics are ideal for applications that require strength, stiffness, and excellent surface finish. They are commonly used in automotive, marine, construction, and sports equipment applications, such as body panels, reinforcements, and structural components. Their woven structure ensures stability, making them suitable for high-performance composites.

How Do Woven Fabrics Enhance Mechanical Performance?

The interlaced fiber structure provides balanced strength and stiffness in multiple directions (typically 0° and 90°). This structure distributes loads effectively, improves impact resistance, and enhances fatigue performance. The woven design also prevents fiber misalignment during production, ensuring consistent mechanical properties.

What Are the Advantages of Woven Carbon Fabrics Over Other Fabrics?

- Balanced Properties: Strength and stiffness distributed in two directions.
- Excellent Surface Quality: Smooth finish suitable for visible or aerodynamic surfaces.
- Good Flexibility: Easier to mold around complex shapes compared to unidirectional fabrics.
- Wide Areal Weight Range: From lightweight 200 g/m² to heavy-duty 1640 g/m² options.

What Weave Options Are Available at Sky Composites?

Sky Composites provides a range of woven carbon fabrics, including plain weave (PW) and twill weave (TW) constructions. Available in various carbon fiber types, such as 3k, 12k, 24k, and 50k, the areal weights range from 200 g/m² to 1640 g/m². The twill weave option enhances flexibility and conformability, while plain weave offers better dimensional stability.

Why Choose Sky Composites for Woven Carbon Fabrics?
