CFRP

Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polymer — Carbon-fiber composites for high stiffness-to-weight structures when cost allows.

Advantages
  • Exceptional stiffness-to-weight potential
  • Tailorable anisotropy
  • Premium performance image and capability
Limitations
  • High relative cost
  • Galvanic corrosion risk with some metals
  • Specialized design/manufacture required
