The most widely used form of carbon fiber, called intermediate modulus (or IM) carbon fiber will break at a load around 300,000 lbs per square inch of material along the fiber direction in tension. When the carbon fiber is woven into cloth, the tensile strength drops roughly in half as half the fibers are strong in one direction and half are strong in the other direction.

Does carbon fiber burn?
Yes, carbon fiber is indeed flammable and does burn. Carbon fiber is slightly expensive but it known to be very strong and durable.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic over aluminum in the construction of a wing assembly?
There are two huge advantages. Carbon fiber parts can be stronger than metal parts for the same mass - or, conversely, it can give the same strength with less weight. And an engineer can design a carbon fiber part to have different amounts of strength in different directions.Disadvantages? It takes more skill to produce a carbon fiber part. You need more equipment. When carbon fiber fails, it shatters. The plastic in a carbon composite is epoxy resin, which is hazardous. And it's got to be painted, which adds weight to your aerostructure.The biggest advantage of it is it takes less fuel to push your airplane into the sky if it's made of carbon fiber, which means you go farther on a ton of fuel. Pilots like flying farther on the same fuel load. Airline managers like buying less fuel. Passengers like paying less for airline tickets and loadmasters like putting more freight on the plane.
Is carbon fiber waterproof?
yes carbon fibre fire proof
How is Carbon Fiber jewelry made?
Carbon fiber is formed when carbon atoms are aligned with a fiber and bonded together into crystals - carbon fibers are then bundled together, forming a tow, which may then be woven into fabric.

What is the purpose of carbon fiber soccer cleats?
Carbon fiber is a super strong and extremely light weight material. Using it makes the cleats weigh less. L. Mercier C6Agility.com
How can car companies get the benefit from using carbon fiber?
The key benefit of carbon fiber is its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Beyond its advantages compared to aluminum, which we mentioned above, carbon fiber is five times lighter and 10 times stronger than typical steel.
Why is carbon fiber a light material for a car?
carbon fiber just weights less than traditional aluminum. they use it on alot of higer end cars so that weight their power to weight ratio will be better. Most SUV's and high performance cars have carbon fiber roofs to keep the center of gravity lower, thus giving you better grip and such.
Why are ferraris made out of Carbon fiber and aluminum?
to reduce weight since it's a high performance car and i think the carbon fiber makes it stronger since they still have to follow safety guidelines
