The various advantages of using titanium as automotive components

Low density: Not only can it reduce the overall vehicle weight, but also for high-speed moving components, it can decrease the inertia of movement.

Higher specific strength: Among various metal materials, titanium has the highest specific strength, making it suitable for use as load-bearing components.

Low elastic modulus: only 50% of that of steel, and with high fatigue strength, suitable for making springs.

Good heat resistance: Can operate for a long time at temperatures ranging from 200°C to 650°C, suitable for use as high-temperature components.

Low coefficient of thermal expansion: It is 50% of that of stainless steel and aluminum. It is suitable for manufacturing components such as engine valves.

Good corrosion resistance: Superior to aluminum, magnesium and stainless steel. It can resist corrosion from the atmosphere, rainwater, freezing road moisture, and hydrogen sulfide-containing high-temperature exhaust gases. It is suitable for components with harsh working conditions such as tailpipes.

Good frost resistance: Even in an environment of -100°C, there will be no occurrence of low-temperature brittleness.

Good formability: Various shapes of components can be fabricated through methods such as stamping, hot forging, powder metallurgy, and precision casting.

Excellent decorative properties: Through oxidation treatment, various decorative materials with bright colors can be formed.
