Great for strength, bad for impact resistance. You’d want a non-filled material or at least less stiff filler. Something like aramid (kevlar) would give you good properties across the board for an application like this though.
Fair, though I wasn’t thinking of machining in this case. But yeah, my experience isn’t generally related to food safe stuff, so I don’t always think about it. Not too much concern about that on subs, helicopters, jets, etc.
Carbon fiber can’t handle impact? Nonsense! I’ve got a Stockton Rush paper right here proving otherwise! He even built a whole submersible to go down to the titanic. Next thing you say it won’t handle pressure cycling either? Poppycock!
