Earlier this year, at Great Designs in Steel 2014, Ford shared details about the construction of the 2015 Ford Mustang. The 2015 Mustang will use a variety of different steels, from mild to ultra-high-strength (UHSS), throughout the vehicle structure.
As you'd expect, a significant amount of high-strength steel (HSS) & UHSS will be found in the side structure of the vehicle. This includes a DP100 hydroformed A-pillar/roof rail reinforcement and martensitic and boron-alloyed steels in the rocker panel and B-pillar reinforcements. Additionally, there are a significant number of laser stitch welds and laser "C-welds" used throughout the uniside. As repair information becomes available, likely later this year, we'll be sure to update you. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @Ask_ICAR for the latest breaking news.
