In this article, we will make a brief introduction of carbon carbon composite material, which has so many different names. Different people use different names when refer to the same product, while its same kind of material.
Names of the material: CFC, Carbon composite, C/C, CFRC, carbon fiber composite, carbon carbon composite, carbon reinforced carbon, carbon fiber reinforced carbon, carbon carbon.
Type of carbon carbon composite:
What is 2D carbon carbon composite? Its only 2 directions of the fibers. mainly x, y directions in the plane direction. Most of the time, the product is produced by carbon fiber cloths, stick together layer by layer, such as carbon composite boards, carbon composite sheets, carbon composite U, L profiles for heaters…
What is 3D carbon carbon composite? Its with 3 directions of carbon fibers, x,y,z directions. Sometimes we call it 3D xyz structure. See structure attached. Another type of 3D carbon structure is 3D hoop structure: with fibers in axial, radial and hoop directions. There are also other types of 3D structures. See bellow drawing too.
What is 4D carbon carbon composite? Strictly speaking, its 3D. Its with one more fiber in the plane direction. We call it 4D, which the customer wanted. See attached the drawing and the photos.
