BEST PLASTIC FOR MACHINING
Plastics generally allow higher feed rates and produce less wear on machines and cutting heads than metals. However, some plastics remain difficult to process. When you remove materials, they may melt, chip, or fall out of tolerance. However, some plastics have excellent processing characteristics, such as PEEK. PEEK is a special engineering plastic with excellent performance. Compared with other special engineering plastics, it has more significant advantages. It can withstand high temperatures of 260 degrees, has excellent mechanical properties, and is self-lubricating. Good, chemical corrosion resistance, flame retardant, peeling resistance, wear resistance and strong nitric acid resistance, radiation resistance, super mechanical properties can be used in high-end machinery and aviation and other technologies. Additionally, they are resistant to melting and chipping while providing good dimensional stability. Therefore, PEEK is the best plastic for CNC machining.
These are the types of plastics that can be used for CNC machining:
Each of these plastics has different machining properties and applications.
