A strong drive to increase fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in transportation industries is driving the use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) material in the fabrication of various aircraft and automobile parts. CFRP is a lightweight, strong, durable material with good corrosion and vibration resistance. CFRP is a good candidate to replace many metal parts. An optimally designed CFRP part can be up to 70% lighter than steel and 30% lighter than aluminum. These attributes also make CFRP attractive for use in many non-transportation related industries, such as wind energy production components, sports equipment, oil exploration equipment, and consumer electronics products.
