In recent years, the automotive industry has experienced a shift in preference from metal to plastic components. Whether in passenger vehicles, light trucks, or commercial vehicles, more and more manufacturers are choosing to replace traditionally metal parts and products—such as washers—with plastic alternatives. There are many reasons for this change, such as lower production costs, better fuel efficiency, and greater durability. Some plastics may also exhibit distinct characteristics that make them even more advantageous. For example, nylon is highly workable and recyclable, meaning manufacturers can work it into a variety of shapes and sizes and, after the component has reached the end of its service life, recycle it into a new one. This eBook discusses the advantages of using nylon over metal, the types of nylon used, and the typical industry applications of nylon washers.
