Steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber are materials commonly used to make javelins due to their strength, durability, and lightweight properties. Steel offers strength and durability, aluminum provides a good balance of strength and flexibility, while carbon fiber is extremely lightweight and allows for greater distance and accuracy when thrown.
The most widely used form of carbon fiber, called intermediate modulus (or IM) carbon fiber will break at a load around 300,000 lbs per square inch of material along the fiber direction in tension. When the carbon fiber is woven into cloth, the tensile strength drops roughly in half as half the fibers are strong in one direction and half are strong in the other direction.
High carbon steel is generally more ductile than aluminum. Aluminum is known for its low ductility compared to metals like steel, which can be shaped and stretched without breaking more easily. High carbon steel has higher ductility, making it better suited for applications requiring ductility and flexibility.

Aluminum alloy is a common material used in the manufacture of bicycle handlebars. It is preferred for its lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant properties, making it ideal for cycling applications. Some expensive handlebars may also be made from carbon fiber for added strength and weight savings.
Carbon fiber has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, heat conduction, and corrosion resistance. The appearance is fibrous, soft, and can be processed into various fabrics. Because its graphite crystallite structure is preferably oriented along the fiber axis, it has a high direction along the fiber axis. The strength and modulus. The density of carbon fiber is small, so its specific strength and specific modulus are high.
Javelins are made of materials like steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber because these materials are strong, lightweight, and offer good flexibility. Steel is durable but heavier, aluminum is lightweight but less durable, and carbon fiber is a combination of strength and lightness, making them suitable for throwing long distances in track and field competitions.
Initial javelins were made of wood until the mid-1950's. Dick Held improved javelin aerodynamics and durability by introducing aluminum javelins around that time (his brother, Bud, was the world-record holder for a time). Current javelins are made of steel, aluminum and/or carbon fiber.

Steel is typically the framework. The body can be steel, aluminum and/or fiberglass. There is also experimentation with carbon fiber.
Steel, Aluminum, carbon fiber,iron, fiberglass, and thousands of other materials
Steel, aluminum, fiberglass, or carbon fiber depending on the vehicle the hood is installed on. Most are made of steel.
It is cheaper and easier to manufacture than aluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber or stainless steel bodies.
Javelins are typically made from materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, or a combination of both. The shaft is usually lightweight and rigid to allow for optimal throwing distance and accuracy. The tip of the javelin is typically made of metal such as steel or a hardened aluminum alloy for piercing the ground upon landing.
Depending on the car, some disc brakes are made of steel, aluminum or carbon fiber.
Depending on the type of racing, wheels can be steel, aluminum, magnesium, or carbon fiber
