Metallic Fillers Overview Sometimes, however, a part needs properties only metal can offer, such as weight, high density, radiation shielding, or the ability to be identified by a metal detector. Then add metallic filled material once you have set up your process.

Engineered Polymer Formulations | Ebooks , Lightweighting , Metal Replacement , Transportation You’re considering nylon for metal replacement because it can create parts that are durable, strong, yet also lightweight. Nylon is a great option for metal replacement.
