PEEK
Corrosion Resistance, Strength, Temperature Resistant
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a top-performing thermoplastic engineering plastic, featuring excellent high-temperature resistance, robust mechanical properties, versatile corrosion resistance, top-tier biocompatibility, exceptional dimensional stability, and outstanding electrical insulation and radiation resistance. It is widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace, high-end medical care, and electronic semiconductors.
Steel Alloy 4140
Impact Resistance, Fatigue Resistant
AISI 4140 Alloy Steel is a medium-carbon chromium-molybdenum steel with a carbon content of about 0.38–0.43%. It offers an excellent combination of strength, toughness, wear resistance, and machinability. When heat-treated, it provides outstanding mechanical properties, making it widely used in gears, crankshafts, connecting rods, bolts, and critical components in the oil and gas industry.
