Air Induction System Mounting Structure

This air-induction system mounting structure replaced a steel part that was very complex and challenging to manufacture with an injection molded PPS/PA part. The plastic mounting system reduced mass 68%, eliminated an anti-corrosion coating, reduced production costs 64% and brought tooling savings of 50% vs. the previous steel part. Additionally, the polymer part met all application requirements for thermal stability, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, fatigue resistance, and stiffness.
