![]() It has high resistance to biodegradation. It is soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature, although dissolution can take a very long time unless the polymer is in a form with a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, such as a fine powder or thin film. It is attacked by halogens and strong Brønsted and Lewis acids, as well as some halogenated compounds and aliphatic hydrocarbons at high temperatures. It is highly resistant to thermal degradation, as well as to attack by both organic and aqueous environments. The thermal conductivity increases nearly linearly with temperature between room temperature and solidus temperature. Some grades have a useful operating temperature of up to 250 ☌ (482 ☏). PEEK has a glass transition temperature of around 143 ☌ (289 ☏) and melts around 343 ☌ (662 ☏). Its Young's modulus is 3.6 GPa and its tensile strength is 90 to 100 MPa. ![]() The processing conditions used to mould PEEK can influence the crystallinity and hence the mechanical properties. PEEK is a semicrystalline thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties that are retained to high temperatures. The reaction is conducted around 300 ☌ in polar aprotic solvents - such as diphenyl sulfone. Typical is the reaction of 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone with the disodium salt of hydroquinone, which is generated in situ by deprotonation with sodium carbonate. PEEK polymers are obtained by step-growth polymerization by the di alkylation of bis phenolate salts. The polymer was first developed in November 1978, initially being brought to the market in the early 1980s by the part of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) that became Victrex PLC. Then let the part slowly cool until it has reached room temperature again.Polyether ether ketone ( PEEK) is a colourless organic thermoplastic polymer in the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, used in engineering applications. Reduce the temperature to 150☌ for thirty minutes. Then raise the temperature to 200☌ for another hour. Raise the temperature of the oven to 150☌ for one hour. Both the part as well as the oven should be at room temperature when you start annealing. During the handling of silicon wafers PEEK components minimize contamination and maximize safetyĪnnealing a printed part in an oven de-stresses the part and improves its mechanical properties.Used as electrical components for long-term operating conditions.Intricate tubing material for wire protection.Contact material for tribological interaction.PEEK 3D printing applications per industry ![]() The high cost of the raw material, relatively low demand and various patents affect the price of this versatile material. It’s also one of the most expensive materials on the market. In addition, PEEK is resistant to water and easy to sterilize which is why it’s also widely used in the medical industry. The above described properties make it the ideal choice for aerospace, oil and gas and automotive industries. Think of piston parts, bearing casings and so on. ![]() PEEK is elastic and has a high tensile modulus, making PEEK ideal for high stress applications. From 200☌ it starts losing its chemically resistance to Chlorine/Bromide, Fluorine, HF and HBr, concentrated Sulphur, Nitric acids, Ketones and Nitrobenzene. This is the Glass Transition Temperature. An object made of PEEK becomes ‘rubbery’ from a temperature of around 140☌. PEEK has exceptionally high mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistant properties that are maintained at high temperatures. 3D printing PEEK is a good alternative to traditional metal manufacturing techniques when you deal with low-volume production and complex designs that demand exceptional mechanical en chemical resistance. PEEK is formed by the step-growth polymerization by the dialkylation of bisphenolate salts. Polyether Ether Ketone or PEEK is a semi crystalline polymer(organic) developed in the 1980s. PEEK is often compared with aluminum alloys, but PEEK is lighter than aluminum, making it the perfect candidate for lightweight and strong applications. PEEK is an extremely strong, durable, mechanically and chemically resistant material.
