material options for high precision machining
material options for high precision machining
(OP)
We are looking for alternate material for an application where a glass filled PEI (ultem) is currently used. There are a few high precision features in the finished part so I am looking for a material that has good dimensional stable during and after machining (.0005 hole tolerances). Other important characteristics would be low water absorption, compatible epoxies for bonding, operating temps of 85+ C, and chemical resistance to common household cleaning solvents (such a wide range that I hesitate to list them all). The material cannot be electrically conductive.
Peek is being explored but I'd appreciate any suggestions.
thanks
