What are the types of plastic materials for machining?
Plastic materials suitable for machining mainly include the following:
1. ABSQ (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene): ABS is a widely used engineering plastic with excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties. It is easy to process, the product size is stable, and the surface gloss is good. It is suitable for machinery, automobiles, electronics, instruments, textiles and construction fields 12.
2. Nylon PAQ (polyamide): Nylon PA includes PA6Q and PA66Q and other types. PA6 has high mechanical strength, rigidity, toughness and wear resistance, which is suitable for the production of mechanical structural parts and maintenance parts. PA66 has better mechanical strength, heat resistance and wear resistance, which is widely used in the automotive industry and products that require high strength 12.
3. POMQ (polyformaldehyde): POM is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with high melting point and high crystallinity, with excellent creep resistance, geometric stability and impact resistance. It is suitable for the production of sliding parts, precision mechanical parts and water-resistant parts, and is often used in automobiles, electronics, medical and other fields 12.
4. PMMAQ (acrylic acid): PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), commonly known as plexiglass, has good transparency, chemical stability and mechanical properties. It is easy to process and dye, and is suitable for optical instruments, construction, advertising and other fields 4
5. PCQ (polycarbonate): PC has high mechanical strength, optical performance and heat resistance, which is suitable for automotive lamps, medical instruments and packaging containers, etc. 4 5
6. Polypropylene Q(PP): PP is a lightweight, chemical-resistant and electrically insulating plastic, which is widely used in packaging, household appliances and automobiles 5
These materials perform well in machining, have different physical and chemical properties, and are suitable for various industrial fields. Choosing suitable materials can improve processing efficiency and product quality
