CR14 Titanium

For motorsport, defence & aerospace applications.

CR14 Titanium Alloy combines proprietary chemistry.

Attractive Performance:

The material offers a unique balance of low density, high strength, ductility and stiffness, which results in performance exceeding that of all known production titanium alloys. Initially developed for inlet valves in race engines, further process developments have successfully established the product for high-performance connecting rods.

Innovation:

As a lightweight yet strong titanium alloy, CR14 offers engineering innovation in motorsport and aerospace applications. The alloy provides an excellent competitive balance of engineering properties and is available for supply on short lead times.

Machining:

There are no additional difficulties in manufacturing compared to common wrought titanium alloys. Machining techniques such as milling, turning, gun drilling, honing and grinding applications are all developed for the material. The development of thread cold-forming techniques demonstrates the ample ductility of the material. Surface engineering methods include super finishing techniques, shot peening, molybdenum flame spray, PVD CrN and DLC.

In Summary:

CR14 offers a unique combination of chemistry and microstructure, and its process route creates a competitive balance of engineering properties, including low density, high stiffness, fatigue life, ductility and strength. The alloy is lighter and stiffer while promoting improved component life compared to those made in Ti6242, Ti6246, SP700 and Ti64, and is available in short lead-times for prototype quantities.
