Claim Text:
1. A process for making a crosslinked assembly comprising the steps of: selecting a desired performance parameter for a molded assembly of a first polymeric component of a first thermoplastic material having a first component wall thickness and a first connection portion, and a second polymeric component of a second thermoplastic material having a second component wall thickness and a second connection portion bonded to the first connection portion, varying for each of the first polymeric component and second polymeric component independently at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of antioxidant additive, crosslinking agent additive, filler additive, pigment additive, and polymer density to provide the desired performance parameter for the assembly after crosslinking by an electron beam operable to deliver a predetermined amount of radiation (R), orienting the assembly at an angle (A) between an orientation axis of the assembly and an electron beam direction, exposing the oriented assembly a number of times (N) to the electron beam operable to deliver a predetermined amount of radiation (R) in the electron beam direction providing a total radiation exposure (E) proportional to (N×R), providing the first component crosslinking percentage and the second component crosslinking percentage, the crosslinked assembly having the desired performance parameter.
