I am looking for Rectangular carbon fiber tubes 2 inch by 3 inch in 100 inch lengths. Does anybody have a source. Ideally the tubes would be 1/8 inch wall thickness.
I will need a lot, maybe as much as 20 tubes.
Also am looking for 4 inch by 4 inch by 3/8 inch thick angle (like angle iron) out of carbon fiber.
Help me find this.
Does anyone make large flat sheets of Carbon fiber on a regular basis? Does any body know of someone using carbon and foam to make large sandwich core flat stock?
Wow Doug …those tubes are going to be a tough one in lengths like that.I know I don’t need to ask if you’ve considered building your own exp. bladder for the run.
The flat sheets are always done quickest Infused on large sheets of tempered glass.The nice thing is that the sheet can be back heated with halogens for post.
Easiest Vac Infusion you can do. Double vac. bag for more force and density.
But you already know all this…(smiles)
Vinny
hmm how would on go about making an exp. bladder???
Not rectangular but Airtech sell that Masterbar 400 for tooling support, square carbon that comes in 12’ and 24’, it is 2"x2",3"x3", and 4"x4". The first two are 1/8" thickness and the last is 1/4". You can find it at airtechonline .com.
Doogie, I was cleaning out some boxes from the classroom and found a 2003 catalog that had CF tubes:
…and I hope they are still around…:rolleyes:
