What are CRV material and S2 material?
2 Answers
CRV is 980Mpa high-strength steel, and S2 material is high-strength steel. The following is specific information introduction: Introduction: For the new CRV, Honda has increased the usage rate of high-strength steel plates to 36%. In addition, the company has newly adopted 980MPa-grade cold-rolled materials, 1.5GPa-grade hot-rolled materials, and 780MPa materials. The addition of Histrength high-strength steel body provides BYD S2 with a strong shell. High-strength steel has the advantages of high tensile strength and high yield strength. Extended information: Honda uses 1.5GPa-grade steel plates in the middle pillar, front pillar, and side beams of the new CRV, and 980MPa and 780MPa-grade steel plates in the front part of the body, while the previous version mainly used 590MPa-grade steel plates. In terms of mechanical principles, the Histrength high-strength steel body can withstand greater external force damage and provide passive safety protection for the vehicle and passengers.
As a Honda CR-V owner for over a decade, I've deeply experienced its body construction primarily using high-strength steel, which is lightweight yet sturdy, providing excellent stability at highway speeds while also being fuel-efficient. From my mechanic, I learned that S2 material is a type of tool steel with exceptional hardness, used in making durable maintenance tools like wrenches or drill bits that can last for years. The safety and reliability of the CR-V's body materials were key reasons for my choice - it survived an accident without major deformation. S2 steel might be used in automotive components like bearings or transmission parts. Overall, selecting quality materials significantly impacts a vehicle's longevity, saving unnecessary maintenance costs in the long run.
