Carbon fiber is five-times stronger than steel and twice as stiff. Though carbon fiber is stronger and stiffer than steel, it is lighter than steel; making it the ideal manufacturing material for many parts. Carbon fibers are usually combined with other materials to form a composite.

These tables relate to only 2 of the many fibre orientations possible. Most components are made using combinations of the above materials and with the fibre orientations being dictated by the performance requirements of the product.
Carbon fibers are high-strength fibers having ~ 5 μm diameter and constitute mostly carbon atoms. Compared with other fibers, these carbon fibers have several advantages, including high mechanical strength, high stiffness, lightweight, very low thermal expansion, and superior chemical resistance.
INTRODUCTION. The data and information in this booklet have been collected for use in the Materials Courses in Part I of the Engineering Tripos (as well as in Part II, and the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos). Numerical data are presented in tabulated and graphical form, and a summary of useful formulae is included.
The ultimate tensile strength of Carbon Fiber is typically 600-700 KSI (4-4.8 Gpa). Compare this with 2024-T3 Aluminum, which has a modulus of only 10 MSI and ultimate tensile strength of 65 KSI, or with 4130 Steel, which has a modulus of 30 MSI and ultimate tensile strength of 125 KSI.
Standard modulus (SM) carbon fibers typically exhibit a tensile modulus of 33-34 Msi or slightly higher. These are often the most effective of the fibers as measured by tensile strength or modulus per unit cost.
1 gru 2016 · By focusing solely on the carbon fibers (T300, T800H, M30, M40, M40J, M46, M46J, and Pitch) it is clear that maximizing the longitudinal shear modulus of the fiber, while maintaining a high fiber axial modulus is required to improve carbon fiber composite compressive strength.
