  • Patent number: 8628716
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bonded metal assembly having a form and a powdered metal-filled plastic member with a cylindrical surface generally surrounding the form includes providing a mold having a cylindrical interior surface corresponding to the cylindrical surface of the resulting powdered metal-filled plastic member and providing a gate to the mold. The gate extends at least partially along a radius of the cylindrical interior surface of the mold. With the form positioned in the mold, a powdered metal-filled plastic material is injected through the gate to the mold and flowed around the form. A resulting bonded metal assembly includes a form and a powdered metal-filled plastic member having a cylindrical surface generally surrounding the form. The powdered metal-filled plastic member includes an injection-molding gate line extending at least partially along a radius of the cylindrical surface.
