1180MPa press

1180MPa press

Reducing the weight of the skeleton that makes up the body parts is an essential issue in promoting weight reduction of the car body. For this purpose, we use a steel plate with a tensile strength of 1180MPa, called ultra-high tensile strength material.
They are used mainly for important parts such as the reinforcement of center pillars, rockers passing under doors, and floor cross running right and left under seats, which are related to riding comfort, such as side collisions, offset collisions, and other safety aspects as well as torsion of the car body and abnormal noise during running.

Advantages of 1180 material press

1180材プレスのメリット
The same rigidity as that of conventional materials can be obtained even if the plate thickness is made thinner by hardening the strength of the steel plates that make up the body.
In addition, by using the same plate thickness as before, the strength of the product alone will be improved and the reinforcement material will be eliminated. This will allow us to expect a reduction in the weight of the reinforcement material, manufacturing cost, and assembly man-hours. We are now able to make vehicles that are even more rigid than before without changing the weight as needed, and we are now able to expand the range of vehicle performance.

Our Strengths

The fact that the material is hard means that it is only difficult to process. From the development stage, we use CAE analysis and prototype die to analyze and correct measured values, and we are working with our customers on a daily basis to create shapes and methods that can be machined with greater precision.
This enables us to prepare for production of 1180-material pressed products that can be realized at an early stage.
