Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high performan
ce composite with distinctive properties and characteristics. It has greater
strength and rigidity than many other traditional engineering composites. The PEEK has been integrated into the special
applications in various fields of structural components, so it is necessary to study the mechanical property and machinability
to further enhance the application range, especially in ultra precision manufacturing. This paper aims to investigate the
mechanical property and machinability of the unfilled PEEK. The na no indentation experiment is adopted to study the
microscope mechanical property and the nano indentation hardness and elastic modulus of PEEK are analyzed. The single
point diamond turning (SPDT) is used to machine the PEEK. Form accuracy and surface rou ghness of the machined surface
reach submicron degree in PV and nanometer order in Ra respectively. The results show that the PEEK has good
mechanical property and machinability..
