Does anyone here know how stainless steel hood pins are made? I've always been amazed at the precision and strength of these small components.

I think it has to do with a process called steel investment casting. It's pretty involved, but basically the part is first made from wax, then coated in ceramic and heated until the wax melts and the ceramic hardens.

It's also noteworthy that different steel alloys can be used depending on the specific requirements of the hood pin. Ideally, the one used should be both strong and resistant to corrosion.
