Nylon is one of the most popular engineering plastics due to its beneficial mechanical properties. The plastic is rapidly replacing some conventional CNC metalworking materials such as iron, copper and steel in a variety of industrial applications. It is a stronger material that can withstand extreme temperatures and is more cost-effective than several other plastic variants.
Material Properties of Nylon
Nylon is a synthetic polymer made from polyamide. Such polymers offer immense durability and strength, which makes them more popular than several other commercial plastics. The following properties of this material make them very popular.
●Nylon variants have high mechanical strength and toughness.
●It has good machinability and wear resistance.
●It has excellent fatigue resistance which makes it ideal for challenging applications.
●Nylon has good resistance to harmful energy radiation.
●Nylon has excellent wear resistance and sliding properties
Ultimately, quality is the aim of our nylon CNC machining service. Over the years, we have invested in technology and people that help us deliver on our commitment to delivering quality products with the fastest turnaround times.
How to Machining Nylon and the Application of Nylon Parts
Due to its inherent strength, toughness and dimensional stability, nylon is easy to machine and has tight tolerances. Actually, machining nylon isn't really that different from machining metal; pretend you're machining brass. However, unlike metal, nylon (like all thermoplastics) is very deformable and can deform if held too tightly. As experts in this industry, we usually recommend tungsten carbide alloy tools to avoid this problem. Also, it's a good idea to keep the part really cool and support it well. We also recommend using a non-aromatic air-based coolant for the best surface finish and tight tolerances. Coolant has the added benefit of extending tool life.
For example, nylon (PA) can be manufactured into industrial equipment components, which may include pipes and tubes, valves, gears, nozzles and wear pads, among many other forms. It can also be combined with other materials to help customers innovate and create new product categories with utility beyond their original application.
