Titanium alloy auto parts

1. Titanium alloy engine connecting rod: Titanium alloy is very reasonable as a connecting rod material due to its light weight. Compared with steel connecting rods, titanium alloy connecting rods can reduce weight by 15%-20%. The first car to use titanium alloy connecting rods was the Ferrari 315LV8.

2. Engine valves: Titanium alloy automobile engine valves are light in weight, have long service life, and can also reduce fuel consumption. Compared with steel engine valves, the mass is reduced by about 30%-40%, and the engine limit speed can be increased by about 20%.

3. Valve spring seat: The advantages of titanium alloy’s high strength and fatigue resistance are exactly in line with the characteristics of the valve spring seat. Titanium alloy valve spring seats are 30%-40% lighter than steel, reducing the inertial mass of the valve structure and engine. Maximum speed can also be increased.

4. Titanium alloy spring: The elastic modulus of titanium alloy is low. Compared with steel springs, the height and mass of titanium springs are only 40% of steel springs while providing the same elastic force. 30%-40% of the springs are used to bring more design space to the body. In addition, titanium alloy springs have a much longer service life than steel springs.

5. Turbocharger rotor: Titanium alloy has good heat resistance and good processing style. The rotating rotor of the turbocharger works in an environment of 850°C for a long time, which gives titanium alloy a good space to display.

6. Exhaust system and muffler: Titanium alloy is widely used in automobile exhaust systems. Its performance, life and appearance are improved, and its fuel combustion efficiency is improved. Compared with steel exhaust systems, titanium exhaust systems can reduce mass by about 40%, generally by about 5 kilograms.

7. Body frame: Some titanium alloys have high strength and good toughness, making them ideal materials for making body frames. Japanese automakers use titanium to create body frames for a better driving experience.

8. Titanium alloy wheel hub bolts: Titanium alloy wheel hub bolts are an essential part for modifying the wheel hub. Not only are they lighter in weight, but they are also stronger than steel bolts. The unique luster is also a good decoration on the wheel hub, which improves the aesthetics.

9. Other titanium alloy components: In addition to the above components, titanium is also used in engine rocker arms, suspension springs, engine piston pins, automotive fasteners, lug nuts, door beams, automotive gear brackets, brake calipers, etc. Automotive components such as pistons, pins, pressure plates, shift buttons, and automotive clutch plates.
