HIROSHIMA, Japan, Jan 10, 2019 - (JCN Newswire) - Mazda Motor Corporation, working separately with Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation and JFE Steel Corporation, has developed the world's first cold-stamped vehicle body parts made from 1,310 MPa-class
high-strength steel.(1) The parts are used in Mazda's new-generation Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture, which will underpin upcoming models starting from the all-new Mazda3.
High-strength steel, air bags, advanced restraint systems, onboard technology and safety around alternative fuel vehicles are all covered in the program.
In a paper published in the journal Advanced Materials, the scientists report their alloy Is 100 times more durable than
high-strength steel, putting it in the same class as diamonds and sapphires.
The company was recognised for its advanced
high-strength steel innovations in the 2018 Honda Odyssey.
Our approach in product development is to offer all our
high-strength steel products to the automotive segment in compliance with major original equipment manufacturers (OEM) standards and requirements.
SSAB also produces a
high-strength steel called Strenx in strips and plates with structural strengths ranging from 600MPa (megapascals) to 1,300MPa - making it one of the world's widest ranges of structural steels.
The structure is reinforced in numerous areas with
high-strength steel, including a stiff steel cross-car beam welded across the floor between the B-pillars.
The use of
high-strength steel met the architectural brief for the new bridge spanning the Moselle river, linking Grevenmacher in Luxembourg and Wellen in Germany.
