PEEK has excellent inherent properties and typically does not require plating or anodizing. However, certain coatings (like Teflon or paint) can further enhance performance or appearance.
We offer CNC machining services for PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), a high-performance engineering thermoplastic. Below are recommended guidelines to achieve precision components. Actual settings may vary with machine tools, coatings, and part geometry.
Parameter | Recommended Range | Notes |
Tooling | Solid carbide for unfilled; diamond‑coated/PCD for CF/GF grades | Sharp tools, positive rake (≈10–15°), polished flutes improve chip flow and surface finish |
Cutting Speed (SFM) | Unfilled: 300–500 SFM CF/GF: 200–450 SFM | Adjust speed by grade to manage heat and tool life |
Feed per Tooth / Rev | 0.005–0.020″ (≤ 0.15 mm/rev) | Reduce feed for filled grades to ~75–85% of unfilled rate |
Depth of Cut (DOC) | Rough: ≤ 0.020″ (~0.5 mm) Finish: ≤ 0.015″ (~0.4 mm) | Prefer multiple shallow passes over deep cuts |
Coolant Strategy | Unfilled: compressed air CF/GF: mist or water‑soluble coolant | Air preferred for medical-grade machining; coolant prevents heat stress |
Machining Strategy | Climb milling, ramped entry, intermittent cuts | Reduces friction, prevents hot spots and dimensional drift |
Annealing (Stress Relief) | Pre‑machining: 2–4 hrs at 150–200 °C Post‑roughing: optional additional anneal | Enhances dimensional accuracy and reduces cracking |
Fixturing | Use vacuum tables, soft jaws, or internal plugs | Avoid distortion on thin-walled or long parts; reduce torque-induced shift |
Tolerances / Surface Finish | Down to ±0.02 mm; surface finish Ra ~1.6 µm achievable | Maintain sharp tools, controlled thermal environment |
We provide precision CNC-machined PEEK parts for aerospace, medical, automotive, and industrial applications. With high strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability up to 260°C, PEEK is ideal for demanding components like bearings, bushings, seals, and insulators.
