A little about the material
Carbon is made from carbohydrate threads intertwined at a special angle, rubber threads are also inserted into them. Due to this composition, they cannot be torn and stretched, but, unfortunately, with strong compression, they can break.
After that, the finished layers of materials are connected together with epoxy glue, forming a ready-made carbon. This is a little about what and how carbon is made. Of course, if you want to, you can try to make the material yourself, but it is better to trust the professionals.
Today carbon is used almost everywhere, mainly, of course:

- Motorcycles;
- Water transport;
- Military equipment;
- Accessories;
- Clothes, etc.
Advantages and disadvantages of carbon
The main advantages of carbon:
- Weight. Carbon is a fairly light material - it is lighter than steel and even lighter than aluminum.
- Strength. With such a low weight, its durability can be envied. It is much stronger than many metals, so it is often used in car parts (especially racing ones).
- Its attractive side is that it looks rich and beautiful.
Like any thing, carbon has its own, albeit minor, disadvantages:
- Discoloration. When exposed to the sun for a long time, the material changes color.
- In addition, if, after all, a carbon fiber part is damaged, then it is almost impossible to restore it.
- Not everyone can afford tuning with carbon parts, because this material is not cheap.
