Same fiber in an epoxy laminate (unidirectional, 60% fiber volume)
| Property | English | Metric |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 415 ksi | 2,860 MPa |
| Tensile modulus | 19 Msi | 134 GPa |
| Compressive strength | 210 ksi | 1,450 MPa |
| Flexural strength | 245 ksi | 1,690 MPa |
| Interlaminar shear (ILSS) | 13 ksi | 86.9 MPa |
| 90° tensile strength | 12 ksi | 81 MPa |
Normalised to 60% fiber volume, cured with epoxy at 130 °C (266 °F). The laminate gets about 58% of the fiber strength (2,860 of 4,900 MPa), and the 90° tensile strength is only about 3% of the 0° value (81 of 2,860 MPa): the fiber carries the load, the resin does not.
Notes from the guide
- Fiber data are not laminate allowables. The repair uses the fabric, resin and ply schedule in the SRM.
- Lot averages. Toray says the data are not for specification.
- Not for aluminium contact. Carbon is cathodic: isolate it per the SRM.
