 | Hugger (88-RAFC46) [Fender - Hugger - Hugger] CURRENTLY LIMITED CONTINGENT AVAILABLE // DESCRIPTION: forged carbon, with chainguard // please notice details Suitable for: Important notice: What is Forged Carbon? Forged Carbon is an advanced material that finds application in various industries due to its unique properties such as low weight, high hardness, good corrosion resistance, and appealing aesthetics, and is expected to continue to gain importance in the future. It is a composite material made of carbon fibers and a resin matrix, produced through a complex manufacturing process. Forged Carbon is used in aerospace, automotive industry for body and accessory parts, interior trim, and wheels, in sports equipment, and, of course, in everyday wearables and accessories, such as watches, protective cases, card holders, and many more. What is the difference between classic and Forged Carbon? Classic Carbon consists among other things of carbon fibers. These fibers are braided on weaving machines, giving them their well-known structured look. Forged carbon , also known as forged composite, uses chopped carbon fibers mixed with resin as a base. This mixture can be molded into almost any shape. Because the carbon fibers are not woven here, there is no clear pattern and each Forged Carbon product is unique. How is Forged Carbon made? The chopped carbon fibers are placed in a mold together with epoxy resin, which has to be made individually for each component, and then pressed into shape under high pressure. This process is also known as "compression molding". What are the benefits of Forged Carbon? In addition to the most obvious advantage from my point of view, the unique design, forged carbon is particularly suitable compared to braided 'standard' carbon when tight angles or complex three-dimensional shapes are required. Braided carbon just doesn't get pressed into the corners as well and it also takes longer to align the fiber mats layer by layer. Given the right form (compression mold), many parts can be created in a shorter time. In 2008, Lamborghini used forged carbon/ forged composite for the first time in a concept car, the Sesto Elemento . It was first presented to the public at the 2010 Paris Auto Show and is considered the most radical concept vehicle ever built by Lamborghini 229.00 € |
