Problems solved by technology

So even though the plastic material that forms the inner and outer layers will not rust, the chrome itself may rust
Second, chrome can blister, peel and chip
Not only does this detract from the appearance of the vehicle door handle, but the exposed edge of the chrome also tends to be sharp and can cut one's hand when grasping the vehicle door handle during entry and exit of the vehicle

Abstract

A vehicle door handle assembly is disclosed that generally includes a structural core and an outer layer. The structural core has an outer surface, a base portion, and a handle portion extending from the base portion. The outer layer extends around and covers at least the outer surface of the handle portion of the structural core. The structural core is made of a first material comprising engineering thermoplastics and glass fibers for reinforcement. The outer layer is made from a second material comprising an engineering thermoplastic and an abrasive material that provides the outer layer with a metallic finish. Non-limiting examples of engineering thermoplastic materials are polyoxymethylene and polybutylene terephthalate. Also disclosed is a method for producing an injection molded part having a metallic finish, such as the disclosed vehicle door handle assembly.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Utility Model Application Serial No. 14 / 724,190, filed May 28, 2015. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The subject disclosure relates to injection molded parts having a metallic surface finish, such as vehicle door handles, and to methods for producing the same. Background technique [0004] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0005] Injection molded parts are used extensively in the automotive industry for a variety of trim and other parts that are installed on the interior and exterior of vehicles. Such injection molded parts are usually made of thermoplastic materials. In general, injection molded parts are lighter and less expensive to manufacture than metal parts, especially if the parts require complex shapes and curve...
