Carbon Fiber Composite Market, The Most Popular Sports
In more and more closely-watched sporting events of today, people expect to upgrade equipment, driven by sports athletes who challenge the limits, of which the most popular carbon-fiber composite materials.
According to the U.S. market research firm Lucintel statistics, in 2008 the output value of carbon fiber 15 million, of which sports and leisure facilities throughout the carbon fiber market, accounting for about 18% ~ 20%, the rest are mainly used in aerospace, commercial and industrial and other fields. The global carbon fiber market in the past five years has been double-digit growth rate, is expected to 2014, output is expected to reach 2.4 billion. Sports and leisure equipment in the years 2007-2014 the average annual growth rate will remain at around 3%.
Carbon fiber production process is more complicated and has a global scale, companies are not more than 12. In which the United States a leading manufacturer of Cytec Industries Inc., Hexcel Corporation and Japan's Mitsubishi Rayon, Toho, and Toray, among others. Mitsubishi Rayon Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gelafeier (Grafil) carbon fiber • Stephen Carmichael, director of marketing, said: "Over the past 30 years, we have mastered the knowledge of many of the epitaxial process, which also is producing high-quality, high-performance materials are necessary. "
Sports is a test platform for carbon fiber production. Carbon fiber production enterprises to provide new materials for the sporting goods market, as well as commercial mode of operation, will soon be able to build a huge database of product performance, this data can also be made available to the aerospace market. Sports equipment manufacturers need to ensure that their suppliers of raw materials production process control. There are many important characteristics of carbon fiber, in which tensile strength and tensile modulus is the end user the most attention. Carbon fiber manufacturers by controlling the precursor materials and processing conditions, you can control these two key features, and thus be a suitable carbon fiber. Can be said that market segment demand for advanced composite materials, promoting the production technology. On the other hand, raw material suppliers have also been looking for to help customers develop new markets for materials, new features. Recent innovations made primarily on how to make products thinner, lighter.
Carbon fiber composite feature is the application of push hands. With the production and application of technological advances, carbon fiber frequent appearances in the sporting goods. Over the years, carbon fiber golf clubs in the use has been among the first, in the hockey stick and the bicycle stand of the applications are increasing year by year. In the racket, fishing rod, snowboarding, windsurfing masts, marine hull, backpack, tent pole, softball and baseball bat products also can see the carbon fiber presence.
The reason why such a broad use of carbon fiber, mainly because it can be made into a variety of composite materials. Carmichael said: "both resin matrix composites and carbon fiber properties, its performance with the matrix material and carbon fiber properties vary. Carbon fiber can be sporting goods, and other end-products are widely used."
Carmichael pointed out that the special nature of carbon fiber products will enable manufacturers to control the mechanical properties and dynamic performance, and this is non-metallic and other single material can achieve. For example, hockey sticks made of carbon fiber for lighter, replacing the easy to break a wooden bat, it also contributed to the advent of 10-meter long fishing rod. And the production of golf clubs tend to use two or three different types of carbon fiber material, different thickness, direction, tensile modulus properties to meet specific product needs.

The Eureka Scenic Pass 2 Tent is a versatile 2 pole dome design that utilizes DAC Pressfit poles for strength and reduced weight. Its unique fly design offers protected wet weather performance or can be rotated 180 degrees for easier tent access in fair conditions.
A classic X-frame tent that sleeps three adults comfortably, The North Face Rock 32 Bx Tent is a durable base camp tent that remains a favorite among backpackers due to its lightweight, two-door, two-pole design. Newly enhanced for this spring with larger vestibules and added ventilation, the Rock 32 tent also features color-coded poles, canopy, and fly for easy set up.
Named after the most abundant mineral in the world, The North Face Quartz 22 Bx Tent is a versatile tent that can travel anywhere in the world. Weighing less than 5lbs, this small-packing tent is perfect for two adults in mild conditions. Easy to pitch and use, this tent's two short poles pack small, making it a good choice for fitting into tight spaces like canoes, motorcycle panniers or cramped backpacks.
Affordably designed to fit four adults (or two guys who just need more personal space) Kelty's three-season Teton 4 Tent offers exceptional value without selling you short on practical features. The key factors in Kelty's cost-effective design are the single door entrance and two 7001 aluminum DAC Pressfit poles. The dual-pole design is structurally rugged and has been around for years, but it's slightly heavier than the ultra-refined tent poles that you usually find on higher priced tents. Everything else about the Teton 4 Tent is on par with the best in the outdoor industry, including taped floor seams and Kelty's Water TightWall enhancements for optimal weather protection. Because the ceiling has large mesh area along the crest, the Teton 4 offers exceptional venting between the walls and waterproof tent fly, although this extra airflow can be uncomfortable on frosty mornings (that's why it's a three-season tent). Kelty added a color-coded clip construction that's easy to figure out, even if you don't have time to look at pitching instructions.
