Light Weight Carbon Fiber Tube in High Quality Carbon Fiber Tubing

What is carbon fiber? What are the uses of carbon fiber?

Carbon fiber vs. steel is almost always the question. Which one is better? More flexible? More cost-efficient? We all know that steel is cheaper than carbon fiber, but carbon fiber is so much lighter than steel and aluminum but is stronger than steel. Carbon fibers are cost-efficient, high strength but low weight, and are electrical conductors that makes them one of the most corrosive and heat-resistant materials available for commercial and industrial use.

How can you use carbon fiber? Here’s a quick summary.

• Automotive industry – used commonly for the exterior part of cars like the hood, spoilers or bumpers to structural components such as the electric vehicles’ battery storage and actual unit as well as the passenger cell(for select cars).
• Wind Energy – most of the wind turbines across the nation have pultruded blades that helps keep the blades strong and sturdy but lightweight.
• Energy Storage – LIJIN’s cost-efficient carbon fiber carbonized felts and fabrics are being used by the Redox Flow Battery (RFB) manufacturers for electrodes, and the Runaway Thermal Barrier (RTB) which is used by PHEVs (Plug-in, Hybrid, Electric Vehicles) as the cover of the battery storage for cars. We are able to supply these manufacturers with cost-efficient carbon fiber fabrics and felts.

At LIJIN, we also process pultruded profiles in which carbon fiber tows are impregnated and cured, creates smooth carbon fiber laminates resulting in efficient laydown when building thickness. The specific fiber alignment achieved with pultrusion delivers consistently better overall properties in laminates than any other composite manufacturing process. Depending on the end application, these pultruded profiles are typically produced with a thermoset epoxy or vinyl ester resin in a proprietary low-cost, high-throughput process – which creates an almost indestructible product that is commonly used for wind turbines, offshore drilling, mining, and other structural reinforcement applications.

Service

• Customization – Prepreg plies can readily be added or subtracted allowing the tube to be customized with different wall thicknesses
• Sample Acceptable – Because each tube is made one at a time, small production runs are available.
• CNC Machining — cutting according to your CAD drawing
• Print Logo – according to the AI file
• One- Stop Procurement – a whole industry chain of carbon fiber composite products

Shanghai Lijin focuses on the Carbon Fiber industry and offers carbon fiber tubes, plates, and aluminum CNC services.

Being experienced in the carbon fiber applications for over 7 years, Shanghai Lijin manages customized production according to various industry standards. Shanghai Lijin started to keep in stock for some standard

sized and frequently ordered tubes and plates. This enables Shanghai Lijin to make prompt delivery. Not only

can Shanghai Lijin complete mass production orders in short period, we can even ship normal sample, prototype orders of Carbon Fiber Plate CNC parts in just SEVEN days after order confirmation when the

drawings are available. Shanghai Lijin is dedicated to solve any technical points during the production and new item developing to ensure the quality.

Carbon Fiber tube production is Shanghai Lijin’s core business and occupies 70% of our turnover.
The carbon fiber tubes Shanghai Lijin mainly produce is table-rolled and oven thermoset. The tubes can be Full Carbon or Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass composite, depending on the application, weight limit,mechanical

strength and surface requirement.Shanghai Lijin offers top quality ROUND carbon fiber tubes. The general OD tolerance we achieve is +/-0.10mm and it can be even +/-0.05mm after our special surface process.

The maximum length of the tube can be 5500mm.

Besides the traditional table-rolled carbon fiber tubes, Shanghai Lijin also offers REAL Filament wound carbon fiber tubes,which are widely used for mechanical strength like auto driving shaft, antennas, even for military

applications. The filament wound carbon tubes are wound at a certain angle like 30 or 45 degree. We invested the new production line from Jun 2013 and this increases Shanghai Lijin’s advantage in the carbon

fiber tube industry. There are just a few real filament wound carbon fiber tube manufacturers in domestic

China and we are one of them.
 

Since the rapid growth of UAV in the international market, instead of the standard plane like Phantom from DJI, RC fans are getting more interested in the customized multicopters. As carbon fiber is the most preferred

material for UAV, Carbon Fiber CNC parts demand is increasing. Shanghai Lijin sticks to offering OEM service for the international market, fine quality and prompt delivery.To ensure the thickness tolerance +/-0.10mm and minimum warp of the Carbon Fiber plates that are used for the cutting, Shanghai lijin execute high standard to

the plate production. For the normal thicknesses including 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm,
Shanghai Lijin keeps regular stock, to make sure the raw material will be available for cutting immediately when order is firmed.Experienced engineers are in Shanghai Lijin’s office ready to deal with different types of

drawings from customers. No matter the drawing formats are .DWG, .DXF that can be edited by AutoCAD

and used directly for production, 3D drawings like .IGS, or even draft drawings, our staff can do adjustment and change to customer’s idea. Our engineers are also good at English communication, Email and IM is easy

for them. Editing drawings for customers is FREE* of charge. Shanghai Lijin is having several professional CNC machines for carbon fiber cutting and drilling, with the capacity of cutting 20-50pcs standard full sized plate per day. The carbon fiber chassis general cutting tolerance Shanghai Lijin offer is +/-0.02mm. The

special designed cutting solution ensures the smoothness of the cutting edge.

‘Customers’ Persuit for Change, Lijin’s Motivation for Growth’, Shanghai Lijin takes customers’ demand for center, enhances the
customer satisfaction, and grows with customer.
