Carbon Fiber Material Selection Guides

Carbon Fiber Material Selection Guides

Choose the right carbon fiber grade (T300/T700/T800/T1000) for your rods, tubes & plates – balance performance, cost and application needs

Carbon Fiber Grade Overview

T300 (Standard Grade)

Cost-effective, good tensile strength (≥3000MPa) – ideal for general industrial applications (robotic arms, test fixtures, sports equipment).

T700 (High-Strength Grade)

High tensile strength (≥4900MPa) with balanced rigidity – suited for aerospace drones, medical devices, high-load automation components.

T800 (Premium Grade)

Ultra-high strength (≥5500MPa) & modulus – for critical aerospace parts, high-precision test equipment, racing components.

T1000 (Ultra-Premium Grade)

Top-tier strength-to-weight ratio – custom orders only for extreme-performance applications (satellite components, military gear).

Selection Recommendations

Application Recommended Grade Key Consideration
Industrial Automation T300 / T700 Cost vs. Durability
Aerospace / Drones T700 / T800 Weight vs. Strength
Medical Equipment T300 / T700 Biocompatibility
High-Performance Racing T800 / T1000 Extreme Load Resistance

Key Selection Tips

  • For cost-sensitive projects: Choose T300 (balance performance and budget)
  • For weight-critical applications: Prioritize T700/T800 (higher strength-to-weight ratio)
  • For custom rods/tubes/plates: Relia engineers can optimize grade selection based on your load requirements
  • Avoid over-specifying (T1000 is rarely needed for non-extreme industrial use)
