Hi, Is it possible to bond steel to thermoplastic rubber while overmoulding the steel in an injection moulding process?

This is a common practice. Contact your TPE supplier for details. GLS is a TPE supplier I used to work for and they did this many times for their clients. Some TPE's require a primer to get good ahesion to steel. Lord Chemical in Erie PA is a good supplier of these primers. ChemLock and Chem Grip are two of their trade names.

Thanks Dwight, I am waiting for samples from Lord Chemical at the moment, but I wondered if there were any other suppliers of similar products?
