PEEK CNC Machining


Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an advanced engineering plastic with a range of beneficial properties. These include elasticity at high temperatures, wear resistance, biocompatibility, resistance to ultra-high vacuum, excellent chemical resistance, and suitability for CNC machining. PEEK is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that can operate continuously at temperatures up to 260°C and exhibits high chemical resistance. However, it must be noted that some acids, such as sulfuric acid, will dissolve the material.
 
CNC machining of PEEK is a common method for manufacturing parts used in extreme environments that require mechanical strength, chemical stability, and/or high-temperature resistance. Applications include components in the medical, aerospace, and automotive industries.

PEEK's Versatility and Applications


Processing PEEK allows for a wide range of applications that fully utilize the material's exceptional properties. Compared to other engineering plastics, PEEK has few disadvantages. A significant advantage that sets it apart is its heat resistance. PEEK can operate at high temperatures for longer periods than most other plastics.
 
Furthermore, PEEK is hydrophobic, making it less prone to water absorption and exhibiting minimal outgassing under vacuum conditions. This stability is a significant asset.
 
PEEK has a wide range of uses, including temporary implants in the medical field and demanding applications such as aerospace components.
