At the same time, carbon fiber parts may undergo surface cracking and aging in long-term high temperature or humid environments, so it is necessary to avoid long-term exposure to harsh environments during use and storage.

Carbon fiber has the properties of high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, erosion and sputtering resistance, good designability and compounding. Carbon fiber is a high-performance fiber composed of carbon elements, and its carbon content is generally more than 90%, sometimes as high as 95%. It is made of acrylic fiber and viscose fiber as raw materials through high temperature oxidation and carbonization process. Carbon fiber has the characteristics of light weight, softness, and can be processed into various fabrics. Its shape is fibrous and exhibits high strength along the fiber axis. In addition, carbon fiber also has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, which makes it an ideal reinforcement material for the manufacture of advanced composite materials.

Carbon fiber is widely used, including but not limited to automotive materials, sporting goods, civil construction and other fields, especially in rockets, satellites, missiles, fighter planes and ships and other cutting-edge weapons and equipment, carbon fiber is an indispensable strategic emerging material. In bicycle manufacturing, carbon fiber is widely used in the manufacture of frame, handlebars, wheels and other components because of its super rigidity, light weight, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, which improves the performance and competitive level of bicycles. It should be noted that carbon fiber requires complex load stress calculations during processing, and its shear resistance and puncture resistance are relatively weak, which limits its application to a certain extent. At the same time, carbon fiber parts may undergo surface cracking and aging in long-term high temperature or humid environments, so it is necessary to avoid long-term exposure to harsh environments during use and storage.
