Important reasons for using & avoiding polymers over metallic materials
8/9/2021
The fact is that general polymers have way higher resistance than metals. That’s what makes general polymers uniquely different from their metal counterparts.

This blog post is going to walk you through deeply researched reasons for using and not using polymers over metallic materials. General polymers are better than their metallic counterparts for several understandable and cogent reasons that you are just going to go through in the next lines of this piece of blog writing.

Higher resistance than metals

The fact is that general polymers have way higher resistance than metals. That’s what makes general polymers uniquely different from their metal counterparts. When using metal, you need to make post-treatment efforts for finishing purposes, but when working with general polymers, this is not the case.

Lighter in weight than metals

When you compare general polymers with their typical metal counterparts, it comes out that metals are ten times heavier than polymer and composite materials. With that in mind, you can easily make the right choice between metals and polymers.

Better in harsh weather conditions

No matter how harsh the environmental impacts are, you can use a polymer to deal with them way better than using typical metals. As a result of working with polymers, you can prolong the life of your aircraft and it is a scientifically proved fact – I’m not shooting arrows in the air with no outcome in the end.

The natural ability to absorb radar

As an engineer, I’m supposed to know that corroding metal components bring about expensive repair if you do not utilize polymers. It is as well very important to mention that polymers can electrically and thermally insulate as they have the natural power to absorb radar.

Easy to sterilize and clean

When talking about their use in the medical field, it comes out that medical staff finds it easier when they have to sterilize and clean polymer material in comparison with typical metal materials. The use of polymer material is not limited to engineering and medial sectors only. Let’s see more!

Reduced tool weight

Visit an oil and gas industry near you at your convenient time, and you will be amused by the way they use polymer materials for deeper depths. The oil gas industry relies on this material to decrease tool weight. However, the best part is that they do not have to compromise on the strength as a polymer material is a light but quality sealing.

Some negative effects of polymer

To be honest with the tile of the article, we now talk about some negative effects bringing about by polymer plastics. Being plastic materials, you cannot utilize them in high temperatures that they cannot endure. Compared to their metal counterparts, polymers tend to melt sooner. Polymer is weaker in strength than the strength coming from metal.

While working with plastics, you have to face issues about machining because of their limited speed. In short, you cannot machine them comfortably and easily, but on the other hand, you can machine metals easily and comfortably because they offer relatively high speed.

You cannot utilize plastics for heat applications as they have a limited heat capacity as well. Due to the less structural firmness of polymer than metal, you cannot make a heavy structure with them. Another drawback is that you cannot recycle them resulting in disposal problems.

 

Based on the above pros and cons associated with the use of polymer, you can hopefully make the right decision now. Thanks for reading this useful content, without wishing to sound conceited.
