Abstract

 In this study, a low-cost simple manufacturing process for a composite material of thermoplastic matrix PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) and carbon fiber (CF) was developed. The composite material CF/PEEK was mechanically evaluated by three-point bending and tension tests, obtaining the elastic modulus and the maximum tensile stress respectively. Also, threads were made in the composite material and the strength of threads machined on the composite material was evaluated with tension tests. A comparison of the composite material CF/PEEK and the composite material of carbon fiber and epoxy resin (CF/EP) was performed, the elastic modules, peak tensile stresses and the strength of threads were compared. It was found that it was possible to produce the CF/PEEK composite at low cost by hot molding. The elastic modulus and tensile strength of the CF/PEEK were lower than those obtained in the CF/EP. However, the performance of the thread in tension was better for CF/PEEK compared to CF/EP.
