Lightweight 3K Weave Glossy 8mm OD 6mm ID Carbon Fiber Tube and Pipe

Product Description

Enhance your project with our 3K Carbon Fiber Tube featuring a glossy surface finish and precise dimensions of 8mm outer diameter and 6mm inner diameter. Made from high-quality carbon fiber with a 3K twill weave, this tube offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, rigidity, and a sleek, professional appearance.

Our 3K Carbon Fiber Tube with glossy finish and dimensions of 8mm outer diameter and 6mm inner diameter is engineered for high-performance applications where lightweight strength, stiffness, and durability are critical. Manufactured using high-quality 3K carbon fiber cloth and advanced roll-wrapping technology, this tube ensures uniform thickness, a premium surface finish, and tight dimensional tolerances.

The glossy twill weave surface not only enhances the visual appeal but also offers improved aerodynamics and reduced drag in dynamic applications. Thanks to its 1mm wall thickness, it maintains a perfect balance between rigidity and weight, making it ideal for precision engineering.

This tube is resistant to corrosion, impact, fatigue, and UV degradation, making it suitable for use in harsh environments, including outdoor, marine, aerospace, and automotive conditions.

Ideal for applications requiring lightweight yet strong structural components, such as RC models, drones, robotics, sports equipment, and aerospace or industrial uses.

The first use of carbon fiber in high performance goes back to 1960-1970. It became popular very quickly in every technical area where lightness and strength were primary requirements.

Carbon fiber originates from thermal pyrolysis in a controlled oven where a material called precursor is strongly warmed up at a temperature of about 2000° C in an inert gas atmosphere to produce graphite.

Then other heat treatments modify the final properties of the fibers, for example warming up at temperatures lower than 2000°C gives you a stronger material, whereas with higher temperatures you'll get a more expensive carbon fiber but with a higher Elastic Modulus (Young's modulus).

This is why today there are many kinds of carbon fibers that, even if they're similar, leads to products with different prices and performances.

The carbon fibers previously obtained are lately drowned in epoxy resin (called the matrix) that acts as a binder, allowing the fibers to work together and to distribute the strain uniformly to each one of them.

As you can guess this matrix has a primary role and it has been studied and improved in the last years, like the nanocomposite fillers inside of it.
