CFRP Wrap tubes VS CFRP Winding tubes
The advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber wound tubes and wrapped tubes are compared as follows:
The advantage of winding pipe:
it can produce complex curved surface shapes, which are suitable for making special-shaped pipe fittings such as conical, spherical, and elliptical shapes.
The disadvantage of the winding tube:
the layup angle is limited by the rotation speed of the mandrel and the moving speed of the carbon fiber tape, and it is difficult to achieve precise control, and factors such as winding tension, winding speed, and resin viscosity will affect the stability of the resin content.
The advantage of the wrapped tube:
it can control the order and angle of the layers, realize the strength distribution in different directions, and the resin content is stable, which can effectively solve the problem of uneven integral strength of the line segment caused by uneven temperature during the curing process.
The disadvantage of the wrapped tube:
the design is not as good as the winding process, the strength calculation is more complicated, and it is difficult to produce complex curved surface shapes.
In short, carbon fiber winding tubes and wrap tubes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which process to choose depends on your application occasions and requirements.
