Titanium-application-4
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, uses are being developed for titanium in the automotive/motorcycle aftermarkets and racing market. Engine parts such as connecting rods, wrist pins, valves, valve retainers and springs, rocker arms and camshafts, to name a few, lend themselves to fabrication from titanium because it is durable, strong, lightweight, and resists heat and corrosion. While titanium initially may be more expensive for these applications, designs that exploit its unique characteristics yield parts that more than pay for themselves with better performance and longer life.
An all-titanium exhaust system is also being developed to reduce weight and increase longevity. The use of titanium on production vehicles is also being evaluated for engine parts to improve efficiencies and suspension springs to increase interior space.
Geothermal Power
There are new opportunities in geothermal power generation, where highly caustic steam released from the earth is captured to generate electricity. The low lifecycle cost of titanium in these applications provides significant savings compared to competing materials.
