Compared with other ordinary plastic injection molding, the injection molding process of engineering plastic PEEK requires the use of specialized high-temperature injection molding machines, which provide higher injection pressure, injection speed, and stable heating. Additionally, attention should be paid to the design of the mold structure. From the part drawings provided by the customer to the initial stage of forming the overall PEEK processed parts, effective control of all processes is necessary. To avoid unnecessary risks during the injection molding process of engineering plastic PEEK. This article will provide a comprehensive introduction to the entire engineering plastic PEEK injection molding process, including the types of PEEK parts processed, the application directions of PEEK injection molded parts, and the precautions for PEEK injection molding.
PEEK exhibits excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, heat resistance, and chemical strength. It can be easily recycled and reused. High purity, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation are additional functions.
Application of engineering plastic PEEK injection molding processing
With its high-performance characteristics, engineering plastic PEEK is a commonly used material in cutting-edge fields, with the most common application areas being aerospace, automotive, electrical, electronic, and medical device industries.
automotive industry
The new energy vehicle parts industry is replacing metals and ordinary plastics with PEEK materials for processing, resulting in significant performance improvements. The components around the engine, transmission parts, steering components, etc. are all made of PEEK special engineering plastic, which is molded by open mold injection molding instead of the most common expensive metal manufacturing. With the overall cost reduction and weight reduction of the automotive manufacturing industry, the demand for engineering plastic PEEK processing and molding is also increasing.
summary
Research has shown that engineering plastic PEEK injection molding is more durable than other polymers and certain metals. PEEK can resist creep deformation under extreme loads and temperatures. Its low friction coefficient can resist wear and generate less vibration. Due to these advantages, it is an excellent choice for automotive components. PEEK material injection molding also performs well in repeated pressure and stress fatigue tests, which is another wear indicator. Due to its lighter weight compared to similar metals, it has applications in the transportation industry and other fields, especially in cars and airplanes, helping to save fuel. The excellent durability of PEEK makes it an excellent choice for manufacturing artificial organs and other medical devices.
