A carbon fiber car developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is mainly on the shell: on the hood of a car made of ordinary materials, if the hammer strikes hard, there may be a dent on the paint cover. However, the shell of this car is very strong, and it will rebound rapidly after hitting the hood, and the surface will not be damaged at all. The researchers say that the biggest feature of a car made of carbon fiber composite material is light and fast compared with a car made of ordinary steel. The carbon fiber automobile abandons the traditional steel structure and uses a large number of carbon fiber materials, which can reduce the weight of the automobile by 60% compared with the ordinary steel. With the same fuel consumption, the car can drive 50 kilometers more per hour.

 

  Although carbon fiber is light, it has better safety. Although carbon fiber looks like plastic, in fact, its impact resistance is stronger than that of steel. In particular, the steering wheel made of carbon fiber has higher mechanical strength and impact resistance. With the cooperation of composite materials, carbon fiber car has become the armored car of household car. This kind of carbon fiber material has been used in the skirt of high-speed train.
