An interactive steel display is featured in the Ram exhibit at the 2018 North American International Auto Show. The exhibit was designed by the Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), a business unit of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), in collaboration with Ram. The all-new 2019 Ram 1500 features extensive use of high-strength steel in the cab and frame.
According to Ram, this is the strongest 1500 to date, featuring more than 98 percent high-strength steel in the frame and 54 percent high-strength steel in the core body structure. The use of high-strength steel in the frame enables noise-, vibration- and harshness (NVH) reduction measures, weight savings of nearly 225 pounds and greater rigidity for improved handling and durability.
High-Strength Steel On Display With Launch Of All-New 2019 Ram 1500¡°With so much conversation surrounding mixed materials, we wanted to create an experience for attendees to demonstrate how steel, with its various grades and strengths is really a mixed material,¡± said Jody Hall, vice president of the automotive market for SMDI. ¡°The inclusion of this display as part of the introduction of the all-new 2019 Ram 1500 showcases how steel provides engineers the right grade for the right application. The Ram is a great demonstration of how steel is driving automotive innovation with the truck¡¯s capability, efficiency, durability and weight reduction.¡±
Included in the display are four panels featuring conventional steel, high-strength steel, advanced high-strength steel and ultra high-strength steel. Each removable panel is a different thickness and strength, helping demonstrate to attendees how various grades of steel can be applied to different areas of a vehicle for lightweighting, strength and occupant protection.
