Hi, Is it possible to bond steel to polyethylene based thermoplastic rubber while overmoulding the steel in an injection moulding process?
 
For chemical bonding (rather than simple mechanical locking), steel can be plated with copper or a chemical bonding agent used. See the links in
Plastic molds/fabricating engineering Forum
New mould design?

The info mostly deals with rubber-to-metal; maybe contact them about polyethylene.
