Application of titanium in new industrial field
May 26, 2022
Titanium alloy is a relatively young metal with a history of only 60 or 70 years since it was developed. After entering the 20th century, traditional steel and aluminum could not meet the needs of aerospace, navigation and other fields. Titanium alloy material was developed by an American company in 1954.
Joined the other elements of titanium alloy is based on titanium alloy, titanium alloy material has the advantage of light quality, strength, elasticity is small, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance and other characteristics, is mainly used for aviation engine, rocket, missile parts, general industrial use of titanium, titanium level also has a lot of, according to the requirements of different industries will choose appropriate levels of titanium. I believe many people know this material because of a popular phrase - "blind my titanium eye"! Many countries in the world have realized the importance of titanium alloy materials, and have carried on research and development, and got practical application. Let's take a look at the application of titanium alloy in design. Lamborghini Aventador Estatura GXX uses a lot of carbon fiber and aviation-grade titanium alloy, which greatly improves the sport quality of the vehicle while being lightweight.
Renishaw, the only metal additive manufacturing company in the UK, cooperated with Empire Cycles, a British bicycle design manufacturer, to produce a 3D-printed metal bicycle frame using titanium alloy as printing consumables. Thanks to topology optimization technology, the frame is not only stronger, but also lighter, weighing a third less than normal materials. In the production process of the frame, the shape can be adjusted at any time, and more customizable, each batch of products can be adjusted.
The No.1 designed by Paul Budnitz is mostly made of titanium alloy, with minimal appearance lines. There are No less accessories, such as disc, carbon fiber chain and quick disassembly device. He is famous for designing toys for adults.
