Non-metallic | Engineering Plastics

Common engineering plastics include:

• PC

• PBT

• PA / Nylon

• POM

• PPO / PPE These materials typically possess good mechanical strength and heat resistance.

Thread Machining Characteristics
Chips may be:

• Long and thin
Possible consequences:

• Tool wear

• Springback

• Thread shrinkage

• Dimensional recovery

• Unstable thread accuracy
