Early uses -It was used for the valves and seals in the pipes containing very reactive uranium hexafluoride in the K-25 Uranium Processing Plant THAT THING
Carbon Fibre • It is called Carbon fiber reinforced polymerorcarbon fiber-reinforced plasticalso called CFRP or CRP • is a very strong, light, and expensive composite material. • Similar to Fiberglass
Carbon Fibre is probably has the best Strength to weight ratio • It is used in cars, bikes, bicycles, Wheels, Tripods, Sailboats and other things that need to be lightweight and strong
