What performance factors drive your preference for aluminum or steel in part design?
In terms of impact resistance, at equivalent levels of reinforcement and using the same matrix material, an LFT formulation is typically about 70 percent higher than that of a short-fiber formulation, and it also has greater stiffness.
The typical densities of these specialty plastics vary from 1.65 to 1.75 g/cm3, which is 30 to 40 percent less than aluminum, bringing a high-performance alternative to the table at a fraction of the weight.
