PA 66 HS natural in detail
1What is PA 66 HS natural?+
PA 66 HS natural is a material of the PA 66, heat-stabilised type. Heat-stabilised for increased thermo-oxidative resistance, high rigidity, good machinability.
2How does Liedtke machine PA 66 HS natural?+
Like other engineering thermoplastics, PA 66 HS natural can be machined using all conventional cutting methods (sawing, turning, drilling, milling, planing, grinding). Unreinforced grades can be machined with HSS tools; glass-fibre reinforced or filled grades require carbide tools. Good cooling via chip removal is important to avoid softening or smearing of the surface caused by heat build-up.
