What’re LCF30-PEEK Composites?

LCF30-PEEK Composites refers to a long carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone composite material with a carbon fiber content of 30%.
1. Components:
– Polyetheretherketone (PEEK): It is a linear aromatic polymer material with outstanding properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, radiation resistance, insulation, and excellent processing performance. Its molecular chain contains a large number of benzene rings. The melting point is approximately 340°C, the glass transition temperature is 143°C, and it can maintain relatively high wear resistance and low friction coefficient even at a high temperature of 250°C.
– Long carbon fiber (LCF): It has the characteristics of high strength and high modulus. When added as a reinforcement to PEEK, it can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the composite material, such as tensile strength, bending strength, and stiffness.
2. Performance characteristics:
– Superior mechanical properties: The addition of carbon fiber greatly increases the strength of the material. Compared with pure PEEK resin, the mechanical property indicators such as tensile strength and bending strength of LCF30-PEEK Composites are significantly improved, enabling it to bear greater loads and being suitable for application scenarios with high requirements for material mechanical properties.
– Lightweight: PEEK itself has a relatively low density. Coupled with the low density characteristic of carbon fiber, LCF30-PEEK Composites is lighter in weight while maintaining high strength. This is of great significance for application fields that are sensitive to weight, such as aerospace and automobiles.
– Good high-temperature resistance: PEEK has excellent high-temperature resistance performance. Carbon fiber can also maintain good performance stability at high temperatures. Therefore, LCF30-PEEK Composites can be used at relatively high temperatures and has good thermal stability.
– Excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance: Inheriting the excellent characteristics of PEEK, this composite material has outstanding wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It can be used for a long time in harsh working environments, reducing material damage and failure caused by wear and corrosion.
3. Application fields:
– Aerospace field: It can be used to manufacture aircraft structural parts, engine parts, wing parts, etc., such as the fairing used in Boeing 757-200 series aircraft and other larger parts that are easy to flow and form quickly. Its lightweight, excellent mechanical properties, and high-temperature resistance can meet the strict requirements of the aerospace field for materials.
– Automotive industry field: It is suitable for manufacturing automotive parts, such as engine peripheral parts, transmission parts, brake system parts, etc. It can help cars achieve lightweight, improve fuel efficiency, and at the same time has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to the complex working environment of cars.
– Electronic and electrical field: In harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and high humidity, it can still maintain good electrical insulation, and has characteristics such as not being easily deformed in a wide temperature range. It can be used to manufacture vacuum chucks, IC wafer carriers, and IC test sockets in the semiconductor manufacturing field.
– Medical field: It can be used to manufacture medical devices and implants, such as orthopedic implants, dental instruments, etc. Its good biocompatibility and mechanical properties can meet the special requirements of the medical field for materials.

Case Show of LCF30-PEEK

In a world-leading semiconductor manufacturing factory, the IC wafer carrier with extremely high requirements for precision and stability is playing a key role. Here, the wafer carrier made of LCF30-PEEK Composites produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material is used.

The high temperature resistance of this composite material is particularly outstanding. In the high-temperature process environment of semiconductor manufacturing, it can always maintain a stable shape and performance. Its good wear resistance also ensures that the carrier will not be easily damaged during frequent wafer loading and unloading processes.

For example, in the production of a high-specification chip, a long-term process treatment is required at a temperature of 200 °C. The LCF30-PEEK Composites carrier performs excellently, accurately fixing the wafer and ensuring the precision of each process.

The design of the carrier has been carefully considered. The surface is treated with special anti-slip treatment, which can firmly fix the 300-millimeter-diameter wafer. On the high-speed production line of the factory, wafer loading and unloading operations are performed dozens of times per hour, and the carrier made of this composite material has withstood the test. After hundreds of uses, the carrier still remains in good condition with only minimal wear marks.

Compared with carriers made of traditional materials, the service life is extended by at least twice, greatly reducing production costs. At the same time, its lightweight feature also makes the operation of the production line more convenient and improves production efficiency. It provides a strong guarantee for the efficient and stable production of semiconductors.
