What is Forged Carbon?

Forged carbon is the next big thing to hit the aftermarket and OEM automotive world. Forged carbon is not a specific material or a single process, but rather a comprehensive technology that binds the materials and fuses them together, allowing for the creation of a composite carbon fiber part. This process is what gives forged carbon such a unique look and why it has become so popular with the automotive community.

Where did Forged Carbon come from?

Forged carbon fiber was invented back in the mid-2000s by Lamborghini. It was their goal to create a lighter, stronger material that can be used in areas even carbon fiber might have problems with, such as suspension components. It was not until they started using it on the exterior that they found how appealing that styling of it could be to the consumer.

Lamborghini teamed up with Callaway Golf Company and the University of Washington to undergo the R&D the extensive process. The goal in which to develop a material with superior resistance to fatigue, moisture and damage. It also needed to be more rigid than aluminum with a higher adaptability to suit more manufacturing needs.

What makes this Different from Regular Carbon Fiber?

Traditional carbon fiber is made usable by laying up method in a sheet form and infusing it with resin. On the contrary forged carbon, is a unique technology which involves using a paste of fibers mixed with a resin to be compressed out into several unique collage type designs.

Forged Composite starts off as a sheet of uncured plastic, and is mixed with short randomly placed carbon fiber strands. Unlike traditional carbon fiber sheets, this material does not require careful cutting and precise laying into molds. Once the right mass has been cut and placed into a hot press mold, it is compressed under extreme pressure and heat. You have an object that is as light or lighter and stiffer as a traditional carbon fiber, but with a new unique and one of kind design.
