Carbon fiber, renowned for its exceptional specific properties and versatility, is revolutionizing industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to renewable energy and sports equipment. However, harnessing the full potential of carbon fiber relies heavily on the intricacies of precursor selection and process design. At our consultancy, we specialize in carbon fiber process design based on PAN precursor materials, offering tailored solutions to optimize manufacturing processes and enhance the performance of carbon fiber composites.
Carbon fibers are manufactured by thermally treating polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers under controlled environment by maintaining a balance between process parameters. Given the exothermic nature of this procedure, it is essential to meticulously consider reliable equipment and process conditions to achieve desired properties with greater yields. At HCG, we provide comprehensive support in designing efficient processes and safe manufacturing of carbon fibers with desired properties. In addition, we assist OEMs in designing ovens and furnaces, surface treatment, and sizing baths by thoroughly reviewing their equipment designs. Our services on various aspects of the production process are detailed below.
