Carbon fibre can be up to ten times stronger than steel and is often used when steel is not suitable. Though the properties of carbon fibre can vary based on which other materials are utilized in its fabrication, it is generally able to withstand high temperatures and will not melt. In order to be heat resistant, the carbon fibre manufacturing process needs to consider its intended use. Carbon fibre that has been treated to withstand high heat can tolerate exceedingly high temperatures above 2000 °C. Keep in mind that not all carbon fibre composites are created equally. Though carbon fibre can withstand high temperatures, not all are intended or designed to do so.
