What are Braided Fibers
Braiding consists of three or more yarns mechanically intertwined. The braids are continuous, which enables the load to be evenly distributed throughout the structure. These fibers are coiled into a helix, similar to wire in a spring. Tubular braid features continuous seamless fibers from end to end of a part. The braided fibers are manufactured in the form of sleeves, wide fabrics or flat tapes. The sleeves have the 'Chinese finger-trap'-effect so that it conforms to the shape it is reinforcing.

Braids are used in many industrial applications. Some of the common applications are listed below:
  • As fan blade containment in commercial aircrafts
  • For energy-absorbing crash structures in Formula One racing cars
  • As reinforcement for aircraft propellers and stator vanes in jet engines
  • For building light weight frames and structures such as trusses
  • For use in precise manufacture of composite parts
  • Ideal reinforcement for drive shafts and torque transfer components, such as flanged hubs
  • For products with changing geometries like prosthetics and hockey sticks.
