CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) is a composite materiel, consisting of various carbon fibers and thermosetting resins. Making the best use of these materials, Nikkiso offers customers products of the high added value that only Nikkiso can provide.
Major Applications
With features such as light weight and high strength, applications of CFRP are consistently growing to include those for general industries.
Cascades
Ailerons
Panels for satellites
Rods (tubes) for satellites
Features of CFRP
Lightness and Strength
Lighter than aluminum, stronger than iron, and with higher elasticity than titanium, CFRP is increasingly being used in aerospace industry.
Enhanced Durability
CFRP materials have high resistance to strain and abrasion. This feature is extremely useful for aircraft, which are subject to repeated takeoffs and landings.
Extremely Low Thermal Shrinkage / Expansion
CFRP has extremely low shrinkage and expansion against heat, which is a strong benefit for satellite parts such as panels and tubes.
