Material Advantages

The use of Carbon Fiber can provide end users with characteristics that include:

• Optimized load bearing designs
•  High machinability and tolerances
• Increased physical strength
• Thermal resistance
• High wear resistance
• Vibration damping

Below is a chart showing the physical properties of typical materials used in custom fabrications.

Material Type	Tensile Strength (MPa)	Tensile Modulus (GPa)	Density (g/cc)	Specific Modulus
Carbon HS	3500	160-270	1.8	90-150
Carbon IM	5300	270-325	1.8	150-180
Titanium	950	110	4.5	24
Stainless Steel	800	196	7.8	26
Mild Steel	450	205	7.8	26
Aluminum	400	69	2.7	26
