Production
Should contain production like how it is produced.115.241.241.2d (talk) 10:43, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
The usage of Carbon fiber (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is under discussion, see talk:carbon (fiber) -- 65.94.171.225 (talk) 08:05, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Fatigue
There's now one mention that CFRP is preferred to Al because of better fatigue life. But I would imagine that that is not true of just any CFRP, but rather only ones that are carefully selected for applications where that is a concern. I think it would be great if someone more knowledgeable than I were to add more extensive, referenced discussion of fatigue to this article. Thanks!! Ccrrccrr (talk) 13:06, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
In addition, I don't believe aluminum has a fatigue limit (see Callister "Materials Science and Engineering: 5th Ed. p 211). Perhaps the author was thinking of steel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.238.237.96 (talk) 17:12, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Aluminum and its alloys do have a fatigue endurance limit -- see, for example, the following link.

Any detailed fatigue life comparison would be very application specific. Alloy selection, geometry, fiber direction and resin system would swamp the discussion. It is probably best to stick to the general case. 199.46.198.230 (talk) 18:02, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
