C-SMC

C-SMC (carbon sheet moulding compound) is a semi-finished product in the form of sheets of chopped carbon fibre impregnated with resin, intended for hot compression moulding.

Typical fibre length is 12–50 mm. The sheets are laid in the mould and pressed, usually at 130–160 °C. Parts made from C-SMC are commonly called forged carbon.
