High fiber-volume-fraction CFRP pipes via sheet winding

Custom small-to-medium diameter CFRP pipes and rods produced by sheet winding method achieving high carbon fiber content for strength-to-weight optimization.

Problem solved

Need for lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant tubular components in small batches where filament winding equipment is oversized or inflexible.

Application contexts

industrial rolls
corrosive fluid handling
lightweight structural poles
sports equipment shafts

Technical principle

Sheet winding (SW) of prepreg or resin-impregnated carbon fiber sheets onto mandrel enables higher Vf than standard methods with design freedom for custom lengths and diameters (0.45 mm ID to 80 mm OD).

Typical use cases

Custom CFRP pipes for chemical plant rollers or antenna masts; high-Vf fishing rods and golf shafts
