PAI Plastic Machining Service

PAI (PolyamideImide) is the highest performing, melt-processable plastic, built from TORLON Resin. TORLON materials maintain strength and stiffness to 500°F (260°C), have excellent wear resistance and are able to endure harsh thermal, chemical and stress conditions.
It has Excellent Chemical Resistance, Excellent Stress Resistance, Excellent Thermal Resistance, Excellent Wear Resistance, High Stiffness, High Strength
The compressive strength of TORLON PAI (unfilled) is double that of PEEK, and about 30% higher than that of ULTEM PEI. However, special engineering attention should be used when designing TORLON components in wet environments, as its moisture absorption rate is not as low as other high-performance plastics.

Advantages of PAI CNC Machining

High Temperature Resistance

PEEK can operate at temperatures up to 250°C (482°F) without losing its mechanical properties.

Chemical Resistance

PEEK is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

Mechanical Strength

It has high tensile strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, which makes it ideal for demanding applications

Dimensional Stability

PEEK maintains its shape and size under mechanical stress and thermal conditions.

Biocompatibility

PEEK is biocompatible, making it suitable for medical implants and other healthcare applications.

Considerations for CNC Machining PAI

Tool Selection

Use high-quality, sharp carbide or diamond-coated tools to achieve precise cuts and extend tool life.

Feed Rate and Speed

Optimizing the feed rate and spindle speed is crucial to avoid overheating and potential material deformation.

Coolant Usage

Proper coolant application can help dissipate heat, prevent material melting, and improve surface finish.

Chip Removal

Effective chip removal is essential to avoid recutting chips, which can affect surface quality and tool life.

Surface Finish

PEEK can achieve a good surface finish with proper machining parameters, but post-machining processes like polishing may be required for critical applications.
