KOMPAS.com - Mazda Motor Corporation (MMC) claims will be the first car manufacturer in the world using ultra-high tension steel. Steel was obtained in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. and Aisin Takaoka Co.., Ltd.. Steel stress reaches 1800 MPa or 1800 bar. Super strong steel will be used first in the SUV All-New Mazda CX-5 which will be marketed globally early next year.
More Lightweight and StrongSuperkuat steel is used as a base or mounting bumpers. Steel is located in the front and rear bumpers. Its function is to reduce the damage when the collision occurred. Mazda claims, the installation of the bumper is 20 percent stronger and lighter compared to 4.8 over previous versions.
Added this steel will be key to obtaining the vehicle body a more sturdy yet lightweight. The reason, Mazda will use this steel in the next generation product. Development of body structure that is part of SKYACTIVE technology aims to make cars lighter. The end goal is the efficient use of energy.
High voltage allows the use of steel components of vehicles made thinner, but its power can still be maintained. Surely the weight will also be reduced. Factors not only related to energy issues, as well as stability and agility car.
The reason, landasaran bumpers are at the most distant (most front and rear) of the car body structure. This will determine the centroid or center of gravity car. On the other hand, a strong steel will protect the driver and passenger cars when the collision occurred. Therefore, it is very important to assess Mazda mengguanakn stronger steel.
Nevertheless, because of less flexible nature - energy absorption is also low - less good for absorbing energy when the collision occurred. To overcome this, claimed to have been researching the Mazda bumper foundation that can change shape when colliding. Furthermore, to obtain a bumper that is strong enough in the CX-5, Mazda worked Futaba Kogyo Co.. Ltd. optimize welding techniques and the manufacturing process.
