Abstract

Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) has excellent properties such as high specific strength and good energy absorption, etc., which makes it a perfect choice for applications in lightweight and structural safety for automobiles. In this paper, the research progress of CFRP in automotive lightweight and safety is summarized, and the application of CFRP in the field of automotive lightweight is illustrated from the aspects of auto body, chassis and accessories parts. The advantages of CFRP in automotive components are analyzed from the perspective of safety. It is pointed out that the challenges posed by structural design theory and heterogeneous connection process that restrict the application of CFRP, and the future prospects of CFRP application in the automotive field are prospected. The goal of this paper is to broaden the application scope of CFRP in automotive lightweight and safety, as well as to provide a reference for its widespread use in automotive development and lightweight.

Key words: CFRP, lightweight, safety, automobile structure, application progress
