Technical Data

  • Typical Stress-Strain Curve of Fibers

    • Typical Stress-Strain Curve of Fibers

    • Lighter components
    • Longer component service life versus metals or carbon fiber
    • Lower total cost of ownership versus carbon fiber and aluminum parts
    • Material supply security from a Technology & Innovation partner
    • Stress-strain curves for various fibers show that OCV™ S-glass provides better impact resistance and compression strength in a composite part than conventional E-glass, carbon and aramid fibers. The area under the curve defines the strain to failure or impact resistance.
    • Carbon fiber has high modulus but fails at relatively low elongation compared to S-glass, resulting in lower overall strength and toughness. In addition, carbon does not perform well under compression.
