O que este vídeo aborda

Sven Yrvind tests carbon fiber versus glass fiber for wrapping the rounded corners and ends of 36 boom pieces on a small-radius composite component.0:32 Glass fiber cloth weighs 450 g/m² with a density of 2.7; carbon fiber cloth weighs 600 g/m² but has a density of around 1.8, making it lighter per unit volume despite the higher areal weight.1:16 The finer filaments in carbon fiber conform more easily to the tight radius.0:32 After laying up both materials with peel ply, Yrvind judges carbon fiber the clear winner for this application — easier to wet out and producing a smoother, more rounded result.0:56 The next step is removing the peel ply, drilling the holes, and making a final assessment.1:39 Petter assists with the layup.0:47
