What performance factors drive your preference for aluminum or steel in part design? Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components. In addition, long fibers form a “3D network” within a molded part; this network supports parts even when a polymer begins to soften (creep), meaning LFTs are an excellent replacement for metal components in portions of the vehicle subject to high stress from extreme temperatures or pressure.
