Which Carbon Fiber Auto Parts can be Customized in Mass Production?

Carbon fiber composites have a period of application experience in the field of automobile manufacturing. From professional racing cars to household cars, we can see the figure of carbon fiber composites. However, due to the cost and recycling technology of carbon fiber, carbon fiber composites have not been widely used in the automotive market. At present, carbon fiber auto parts that can be mass-produced mainly include the following.

Carbon fiber automobile battery box

The power battery is an important power component of new energy vehicles. The battery box, as the carrier of the battery protection, is generally installed at the lower part of the vehicle to protect the lithium battery from external erosion. The traditional battery box is made of metal, which will increase the deadweight of new energy vehicles and reduce endurance. Carbon fiber composite material is light and high strength, which has an obvious lightweight effect when used to make automobile battery boxes.

Carbon fiber car seat

The internal support structures of car seats we encounter in our lives are mostly bulky steel structures. The internal damping devices are mostly springs, which are easy to rust after a long time. The damping effect will be greatly reduced, and at the same time, a lot of resources will be wasted. The carbon fiber composite seat frame has the advantages of impact resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, fatigue resistance, etc. It can not only fully meet the requirements of complex working conditions, but also has a higher safety factor.

Carbon mirror housing

The carbon fiber composite can also be used to make the rearview mirror shell of the car. But the lightweight is not significant. It is mainly to meet the customer's demand for carbon fiber car products and play an aesthetic role. Similar parts include carbon fiber car license plate frames, carbon fiber car interior trim, etc.

Carbon fiber anti-collision beam and energy-absorbing box

The anti-collision beam and energy-absorbing box are the main components of the bumper system to absorb energy. The traditional anti-collision beam and energy-absorbing box are generally made of steel, aluminum, and other metal materials, which limits the vehicle's lightweight level to a certain extent. The energy absorption rate of carbon fiber composites when facing impact is very high, even more than 4 times higher than that of steel, aluminum, and other materials. Therefore, it is very suitable for the parts where cars are prone to impact, such as the front crash beam and energy absorption box. The use of carbon fiber materials to make automobile energy-absorbing boxes not only reduces the mass of components by 60% - 80% compared with the raw metal materials but also makes elastic deformation the main deformation form under the low-speed impact, increasing the energy absorption rate.
