The application of titanium alloys in the field of automotive parts is mainly based on their unique physical and chemical properties, such as high strength, low density, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Despite its high cost, it has significant advantages in enhancing performance, lightweighting and durability, and its application is gradually increasing in high-end models, racing cars and new energy vehicles. Here are some applications:
1. Engine System: Dual Breakthroughs in Lightweight and High-temperature Resistance
Like turbochargers, titanium alloys can operate for a long time in an environment of 850℃, meeting the high-temperature and high-speed rotation requirements of turbochargers and enhancing the efficiency and reliability of turbocharging.
2. Exhaust System: A perfect combination of corrosion resistance and lightweight
Titanium alloy exhaust pipes are about 40% lighter than steel ones. (Porsche 911 Turbo S: Titanium alloy mufflers reduce weight by 12kg, more precise sound tuning, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is shortened by 0.2 seconds.) The muffler is 32% lighter, significantly reducing the overall load on the vehicle.
3.Braking system: Dual guarantee of wear resistance and corrosion resistance
The weight of titanium alloy brake calipers is reduced by 43% (such as the BMW M850i Night Sky Special Edition), and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved by 20%, reducing the risk of brake attenuation. The brake discs have excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can extend their service life.
The 3D-printed titanium alloy brake calipers further optimize thermal management performance through an internal heat dissipation channel design.
4.Fastener
Like titanium bolts and nuts, used in key parts such as engines and chassis to reduce weight and prevent rust (widely used in racing cars).
In conclusion, titanium alloys are widely used in the automotive field. With the advancement of technology, it is believed that titanium alloys will be applied even more extensively in the future. If you want to know more, please feel free to contact us at any time
