How to deal with deformation of peek processing?

 

Peek is a special engineering plastic with excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, self-lubricating, easy processing and high mechanical strength. It can be manufactured and processed into various mechanical parts, such as automobile gears, oil screens, gearshift starting disks; aircraft engine zero Parts, automatic washing machine runners, medical equipment parts, etc.

 

PEEK profiles or peek injection molded parts will generate internal stress when heated. For parts with higher processing requirements, an annealing treatment is required before processing; in addition, if the cutting amount on one side is too large during processing, it will also cause deformation, which can be even on both sides. Process or reduce the amount of single processing; it is important to add coolant during processing.

 

The deformation of PEEK processing is generally due to the following reasons:

 

1. The internal stress of the material is not completely removed

 

2. The selection of the tool is inappropriate, and the cutting heat will be too large at that time

 

3. Insufficient processing and cooling

 

4. Clamping deformation

 

5. Material issues

 

gz ideal focuses on the injection molding and mechanical processing of PEEK parts, and can customize PEEK finished parts of various specifications and different purposes according to customer drawings and samples.
