I had the pleasure of speaking to Paul this afternoon about my project and the use of carbon tubes / wrapping carbon tubes around foam core to make a strong space-frame and the shear amount of knowledge and information he gave me was astounding!! Several really good ideas and new takes and new techniques I hadn’t even considered. I’ve ordered materials from Easy composites in the past for glider and boat repair work and I’m really looking forward to working with Easy Composites on this project too! Thanks Paul!

great video, PS: for the novices among us a mandrel ( not a mandrill- monkey family) is a rod of metal you mount between centres in a metal or wood lathe to hold a round part securely ie a pulley or donuts shaped object, the rod holds the part by the inner bore so machining can occur on the outer surface ( otherwise gripped by a chuck, held at a centre, etc.) as this is the only way to hold it and machine successfully.

@easycompositestv
4 жыл бұрын
You could certainly wet lay in a very similar way to the repair done here and also similarly to a tube repair as seen in our Fishing Pole Repair Video. Infusion would be much harder in a practical sense for smaller tube sizes, although for bigger sizes it may work using a tubular bagging film and extra care to ensure the resin is evenly distributed all around the tube.
@jjackson3240

You can also make your own prepreg by doing a wet layup on flat carbon and then freezing it. Then when you are ready to make your tubing, just let the home made prepreg thaw just a bit and roll it on just like factory prepreg. It's much less messy that way and the carbon tends not to slip as much during application.

Is there a way you would suggest to add a raised “bead” to either end of a tube made in this fashion? Similar to the raised bead sections in the “complex carbon fiber tube” video. If I try and build an intake tube in this fashion I’d like to help insure that the boots would not blow off the tube.
@easycompositestv

Hi Jeff, yes, you could do this very simply. Just cut a long thin strip of prepreg and then wrap that round and round as each end of the tube, making the tube considerably thicker in a 'bulge' at either end. This way the tube would still be parallel on the inside (so would release from the mandrel) but you'd get the bead detail you want.

Whilst I understand that there are very few restrictions on the materials and approvals for ultra-light aviation, it would still be very important to be totally confident with your materials and processes for applications as critical as an airframe. Having said that, I have no doubt that some manufacturers can safely and successfully incorporate carbon fibre tubes into their airframes increase strength (or stiffness) and reduce weight. Usually it's the joins that are the most difficult part when using composite tubing. We'll certainly keep this in mind and see if there are some videos we can produce to cover this topic.

Excellent vid. Just wondering how the test load rig would work out for an aluminium tube though.

In some ways aluminium and carbon can be compared in some properties so it may well be possible to conduct a similar test with aluminium tubing within the limits of the machines capability.

I'd love to see the same destructive test done on just the aluminum tube, and then the aluminum tube wrapped with the carbon fiber tube.

Yes, they would all be interesting comparisons. We’d like to do more of this sort of test in the future.

@@easycompositestv What's your best guess on how each of those would fair? In particular I wonder what the combination of aluminum and carbon would do.

How would you make a curved tube for cruiser style bicycle handbars? I've been riding on a carbon fiber road bicycle for a few years now and have been very impressed with it's lightweight quality and durability. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Lucas, that's the very next video we're doing. For curved tubes, like handlebars, you need a split-mould process. New video in around 1 week; subscribe and hit that bell.

using this method, I can make a gun barrel? undetected in metal detectors?

how to make a carbon fiber 1/4 inch thick part where you can attach it to an other metal part using screws?? I guess how many layers you need

Is this the same method used to produce carbon fiber road bike seatposts?

It can be used to do that but there are other methods used as well.

Could you vacuum bag the tube and then put in oven (whilst still vacuum bagged) rather than shrink tape it?
@easycompositestv

You can although the shrink tape will give a more even cosmetic finish due to the even overlapping. With a vacuum bag it is hard to control where all the creases are going to be. You could mitigate this a bit with a release film.

Compared to vacuum bagging, how much compressive force does shrink tape exert on the part?

Wrap around styrene plastic 3d printed molds, throw it in water, and dissolve the styrene core.

Water soluble 'styrene'? That doesn't seem to make sense. There are some water soluble core materials that can be used in composites but none of these are 3D printable. Expanded polystyrene (A.K.A. XPS or styrofoam) con't be 3D printed but it can be dissolved by a strong solvent, such as acetone.

do you have any non scientific Torque Tests results? What kind of lay ups would be best suited for axial load / twisting along the length type applications.

You could improve torsional stiffness by having some layers of cloth ad 45 degrees to the tube.
