PEEK machining services
PEEK is a popular thermoplastic polymer found in objects as diverse as medical implants and electrical cable insulation.
Description
What are the Advantages of machining PEEK?
There are numerous advantages to PEEK machining, and these can be broken down into two categories: the inherent material advantages of PEEK, and the specific process advantages of using a CNC machine for machining PEEK material.
Material advantages of machining PEEK include:
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Very low moisture absorption
- Wear and abrasion resistance
- Unaffected by continuous hot water / steam exposure
- Some grades biocompatible
- Resistant to biodegradation
Process advantages of machining PEEK include:
- High accuracy
- High repeatability
- Tight tolerances
- Relatively high melting point permits faster feeds and speeds
