Sometimes the characteristics of metal or thermoplastics aren’t always suitable for every application. Get the best of both worlds with insert molding from Weiss-Aug.
What is insert molding?
Insert molding is a process where plastic is molded or formed around other components. Typically, the inserted component is placed into a mold with an opening and plastic resin enters through the opening and encapsulates the inserted piece wholly or in designated areas of the mold cavities.

Why combine metal and plastic?
Metallic parts encapsulated by plastic can provide a wide range of benefits to a process or application, such as improving reliability, impact resistance, and weight. Most plastics withstand exposure to moisture, chemicals, and ultraviolet light, meaning they can better protect metal from the elements.
Another benefit is increased part compatibility. Some metals just don’t work well together, and direct contact may cause issues like corrosion or degradation. With insert molding, plastic covers mating part surfaces.
