Titanium Alloys Used To Make Car Parts--I

Available titanium alloy manufacturing of automotive structural parts mainly for the engine system of valves, springs and their bearing, connecting rod, crankshaft, gearbox, steering rack and pinion, chassis system of springs, muffler, exhaust device, the body of the wheel bushings and bearings, all kinds of half shaft, fasteners, etc. Racing parts are already made of titanium because cars are cost-free, driven by a desire for victory and safety.

The development of automotive titanium materials

Titanium materials in the application of cars began in the middle of the 1950s, in 1956, the United States General Motors launched a named "Firebird Ⅱ" titanium body exhibition car. In the late 1960s, Nissan used some titanium alloy parts in its R382 car. In the 1980s Honda used titanium to make racing car parts.

Since the 1990s, due to technological progress, some low-cost titanium alloys have been developed, such as Time-62S, Timetal-LCB, Timetal-1100 and SP-700 from American Titanium Metal Company. At the same Time, due to the urgency of energy conservation and emission reduction and the increasing requirements for improving performance,Interest in the use of titanium in automobiles is growing even further. In 1992, the 29th International Motor Show in Tokyo exhibited cars with titanium bodies and engines made in Japan; In 1996, the Titanium Exhausting System developed by the American Titanium Metal Company (TIMET) was presented at the National Association Conference, followed by a Titanium Exhausting System manufactured by Chrysler. 1989-1998 Japanese automobile titanium 669t. Titanium has also built a factory to produce titanium alloy parts for cars.
