Ever wonder what happens before our PEEK sheets are ready for delivery?
Today, we are preparing a fresh batch for Heat Treatment (Annealing).
While PEEK is already an extraordinary material, the annealing process is a critical step in our manufacturing at the factory. Here is why it matters:
-
Stress Relief: Extrusion naturally creates internal tension. Heat treatment “relaxes” the polymer chains, preventing the material from warping or cracking during later machining.
-
Dimensional Stability: It ensures the plates stay flat and maintain precise tolerances, even when exposed to high-temperature environments.
-
Enhanced Crystallinity: Controlled heating optimizes the physical properties of the PEEK, making it tougher and more wear-resistant.
We don’t skip steps because we know that for high-performance engineering, precision is everything.
