Increasing productivity and enhancing in‐use performance

Abstract

Competitive pricing is dominating the commercial aircraft market, and greater cost efficiency is a key demand on designers, providing in particular an emphasis on metal to plastic conversion for lost cost assembly. Victrex Peek polymer is one of the first materials to be evaluated for metal to plastic conversion. Describes the product in detail, in particular its high and added value, the design fit and performance contribution, savings made, and utilization in the manufacture of fasteners.
