Carbon fibre reinforcement developed for longer and lighter turbine blades
High performance fibre-based materials company Ahlstrom (Helsinki / Finland; www.ahlstrom.com) has introduced “AceBlade” carbon, a unidirectional carbon fibre reinforcement for the wind energy market with improved fatigue resistance and enhanced mechanical properties.
The company said the material brings significant benefits for designers and manufacturers of wind turbine blades and addresses the market need for longer and lighter blades. It is a cost effective solution for vacuum infusion processes and is claimed to deliver higher strength and stiffness as well as improved fatigue properties.
