yes,
Will heat staking plastic to metal be as strong as plastic to plasti? I am especially concerned about the metal and plastic part coming apart from very tugging force.
…depends on the plastic…you will get better results with a thermal-forming plastic than a thermal-setting plastic.

with thermosets you’re not likely to get ANY results; they’ll burn, but they won’t melt (a basic requirement of staking operations).
