Mazda is the first manufacturer to use high-tensile steel

Mazda is the first manufacturer to use high-tensile steel - Mazda will be the first car manufacturer in series to implement the use of ultra high-tension steel of a conventional vehicle. So spokesmen have announced the signing to unveil the specifics of the new Mazda CX-5 crossover 2012 which will be released early next year.

The new steel used in this vehicle is not only much stronger than normal steel, it is also much lighter thanks to the expertise of Sumitomo Metal Industries in its plan to support the automotive industry in the quest for fuel economy through the development of lighter materials that do not compromise the safety and strength of the vehicle.

Mazda will use the ultra high strength steel for the manufacture of defense beams shall be installed inside the front and rear bumpers in order to mitigate damage in case of collision, maintaining an appropriate degree of deformation but with a much more material Nothing ventured, lightweight passenger safety.

Defense bars are 20% stronger than those typically used and still is 5 kg lighter than previous versions. The novelty of this material is that the lighter materials tend to be less flexible and absorb less energy during collisions, but the ultra high tension steel has overcome this technical barrier with a deformable rigid as expected and a drop in the weight gives the car amazing dynamic possibilities.
