Carbon fiber composites are struggling to move forward on the road to the civil field. According to estimates, China's annual carbon fiber consumption of sports and leisure equipment is about 5000 tons, and this figure is still rising. Under such a huge number, which sports leisure equipment uses carbon fiber? Let's have a look!
1. Carbon fiber fishing rod: don't take fishing as a kind of sports. There are special sea fishing competitions abroad, and the upsurge of fishing in China is rising. If you want to open up a situation in the fishing industry, how can you do without a good fishing rod? The carbon fiber fishing rod is 50% lighter than the glass fiber fishing rod, 20% farther away from the throwing rod, and larger in load-bearing. It is the heart of fishing lovers.
2. Carbon fiber golf club: it is said that trump is not in the mood to play golf recently, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the majority of golfers. The golf club made of carbon fiber composite material is 10% ~ 40% lighter than the traditional club. Don't underestimate the weight. The feel of a golfer is closely related to the weight. When the golf club is lightened, the initial speed given to the golf ball when swinging is greater. In addition, carbon fiber composites have high damping characteristics, which can prolong the hitting time and make the ball fly farther.
3. Tennis racket: tennis is a hot sport in the world. Li Na of China has made great contributions to promoting domestic tennis. At present, the middle and high-grade tennis rackets in the world are mostly made of carbon fiber composites. Lightweight and large-scale are a trend. The carbon fiber tennis racket has stronger wire tension than the wooden racket, keeps the ball from deformation, has light weight, high strength and small strain, and can reduce the deviation when in contact with the tennis ball.
4. Badminton racket: badminton rackets are somewhat similar to tennis rackets. They are all hitting sports. However, badminton rackets have experienced more than a century from traditional materials to today's carbon fiber materials. The carbon fiber badminton racket has the advantages of light weight, good toughness and high hardness. It can help the player swing at a higher speed, pull a higher number of pounds, hit the ball stably and control the ball more stably. Whether in terms of explosive power or control, it is more in line with the expectations of badminton players.
5. Bicycles: the bicycles mentioned here are not shared bicycles, but used in professional bicycle competitions. For example, indoor bicycle time trial and race, outdoor bicycle mountain race, downhill race, climbing race and so on, need the bicycle to have strong performance in order to run faster. Carbon fiber bicycles often replace the frame body, front fork parts, wheels, crankshaft and seat support with carbon fiber composites, which not only has greater rigidity, but also improves the shock absorption effect, and provides a powerful help for cyclists to set a new record.
6. Table tennis racket: our national football, but it has been greatly impacted in recent years. The floor materials of table tennis rackets were mostly made of pure solid wood in the past, but the swing feel was affected because of the heavy weight. Now carbon fiber table tennis rackets are more popular. They swing faster and hit harder.
7. Pole: one of the popular events in the Olympic Games. The pole vault pole was originally made of hickory, and then gradually developed into nylon and glass fiber. Now it is replaced by carbon fiber pole. The force rebound effect brought by carbon fiber brace is better. For pole vaulters, every extra 1 cm jump is of great significance. Carbon fiber brace makes this significance more possible.
8. Archery: archery competition has always been the strength of South Korea, and China is not bad. Now many cities have privately operated archery halls, and we can also get close contact with this sport.
The improvement of archery performance is directly related to the performance of archery equipment. At present, the best bow in the world is made of carbon fiber composite material. The bow arm can bear the bending stress of 50kg / mm2, which greatly increases the initial speed and range of the arrow. From this point of view, in fact, the status of carbon fiber in the sports industry is still very high. In addition to the above eight common sports, the figure of carbon fiber composites can also be seen in many sports such as skiing, ice hockey, rowing, sailing, mountaineering, glider, softball and baseball. With the popularization of application, the price of carbon fiber sports equipment is also declining slowly.
