Abstract:
1. A method for producing a reinforced structural part for an automotive vehicle, comprising a body made from a plastic material provided with a core made from a metallic material, the core including an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface of the core, the method comprising the following steps: positioning the metallic core in a first mold cavity; injecting a first plastic material into the first mold cavity, the cavity being arranged so that the first plastic material over-molds at least part of the inner surface of the core and part of the outer surface of the core; positioning the over-molded metal core in a second mold cavity; and injecting a second plastic material into the second mold cavity, the cavity being arranged so that the second plastic material over-molds the entire outer surface of the core so the second plastic material directly contacts the first plastic material and a part of the outer surface of the core that is not over-molded by the first plastic material.
