Compression molded pigmented door skins fabricated by compression molding a pigmented, curable, unsaturated polyester sheet molding compound containing a co-curable unsaturated monomer, a low profile additive, and a microvoid-reducing thermoplastic polymer, exhibit uniform stainability while maintaining a low linear thermal coefficient of expansion. Such door skins are suitable for preparing wood grain textured exterior insulated doors which exhibit minimal thermal deflection when exposed to interior / exterior temperature differentials, even at eight foot door heights. The doors may be stained without first applying a seal coat.

A vane assembly for a gas turbine engine is disclosed having lower thermally induced stresses resulting in improved component durability. The stresses in the vane assembly airfoils are lowered by increasing the flexibility of the vane platform and reducing its resistance to thermal deflection. This is accomplished by placing an opening along the innermost vane assembly rail that reduces the effective stiffness of the platform, thereby lowering the operating stresses in the airfoils of the vane assembly. A removable seal is then placed in the opening in order to prevent undesired leakages, while maintaining the benefit of the increased platform flexibility.

A method and assembly for forming a multi-shot panel for a vehicle including the steps of providing a mold and forming therein a main body of the panel from a first rigid material, the step of forming the main body further including forming a multi-sided recess. The rigid material is transferred to a second reconfiguration of the mold for forming thereupon at least one second softer material. The panel is then transferred to a third reconfiguration of the mold for forming the heat deflecting shield. Alternative, a two shot injection molded panel can be removed from the mold and a previously formed heat deflecting shield can be attached along edges of the main body defining the multi-sided recess. In either variant, locking features are designed into the interface geometry between the heat deflecting shield and rigid main body.

A Power Transfer Unit (PTU) has a housing with at least one side having an outer surface. One or more standoffs are provided at the at least one side of the housing and extend outward from the outer surface of the housing. A thermal deflector formed as a flat plate is attached to the standoffs at a predetermined distance from the outer surface of the housing. The flat plate deflects heat from nearby components, such as the catalytic converter and / or exhaust pipe, away from the PTU.
