What is the difference between carbon fiber and glass fiber

Carbon fiber is a high-strength and high-modulus fiber with a carbon content of more than 90%. Its high temperature resistance ranks first among all chemical fibers. Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. There are many kinds. Its advantages are good insulation, strong heat resistance, good corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength.
1. Different quality
Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. It is made of glass balls or waste glass as raw materials through high melting, wire drawing, winding and weaving.
Carbon fiber is an inorganic fiber composed of carbon elements. The carbon content of the fibers is greater than 90%. It can be compounded with metal, resin, ceramics, carbon, etc., and is generally divided into three categories: ordinary type, high-strength type and high-model type.
2. Different characteristics
Glass fiber: The advantages are good insulation, strong heat resistance, good corrosion resistance, and high mechanical strength, but the disadvantages are brittleness and poor wear resistance.
Carbon fiber: Carbon fiber has high axial strength and modulus, low density, high specific performance, no change, ultra-high temperature resistance in non-oxidizing environment, good fatigue resistance, specific heat and electrical conductivity between non-metal and metal, small thermal expansion coefficient and anisotropy, good corrosion resistance, and good X-ray transparency. Good electrical and thermal conductivity
performance, good electromagnetic shielding, etc.
3. Different prices
Carbon fiber yarn is about 25-30 times that of alkali-free glass fiber yarn, and the price of carbon fiber cloth is about 25 times more expensive than glass fiber cloth.
4 different uses
Glass fiber products are widely used in various fields of the national economy, among which electronics, transportation and construction are the three most important application fields, and also represent the development trend of the world glass fiber industry in the next few years
Carbon fiber materials are used in civil industries such as aerospace, aviation, automobiles, electronics, machinery, chemicals, and textiles, as well as sports equipment and leisure products. Because of its high production cost, it is generally used in high-end fields.
