Titanium Will be used in the Car Exhaust Muffler
new usage of titanium materials
InquiryNippon steel and kobe steel have developed titanium alloys for cars, respectively, and are already doing business, the nikkei reported.
Nippon steel aims to use titanium alloys in exhaust mufflers, engine valves and other components. Kobe steel, which has been successful in mass production of titanium alloy wires, will soon start supplying samples to carmakers.
Nippon steel and the kobe steel institute are also jointly developing low-cost manufacturing technology for titanium alloys. If the technology can be applied in the field of automotive material demand, the mass production effect will cause the price of titanium alloy to decline continuously, thus accelerating the popularization of titanium alloy.
Titanium is characterized by light weight and great strength, but it is difficult to process parts. At present, it is only used in aircraft engines and other fields.
