Japanese Honda Motor has announced that the company's engineers have managed to develop a new technology for joining aluminum and steel.

In practice, the new technology would be first applied in the construction of doors for the North American version of the new Acura RLX sedan, which sales will start in the U.S. in March 2013.

For the connection of dissimilar metals such as steel and aluminum, it took first create several supporting technologies, in particular, the technology of anti-corrosion technology, counter-temperature deformation (necessary because of the different expansion coefficients of steel and aluminium).

In General, new technology for joining of dissimilar materials offered by Honda, is that sheets of different materials actually "coiled", not allowing them thus to be separated.

New technology will improve the weight distribution in the technique Hondaand, as stated by the manufacturer, will necessarily affect the dynamic characteristics of the products.

To apply the new technology after the Acura RLX, Honda is not yet clarified.
