CR14 Titanium Alloy

CR14 Titanium Alloy is a combination of proprietary chemistry, thermomechanical processing and heat treatment.

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. CR14 was developed initially for inlet valves in race engines; further alloy enhancement has successfully established the product for uses in very high-performance connecting rods.

Motorsport Applications

Specific applications for CR14 include:

  • Proven Inlet valves, showing improved durability and valve control
  • High level connecting rods, showing a 15% mass reduction when compared to competitive designs in 6Al 4V and SP700 Titanium
  • Gudgeon pins
  • Turbocharger impellers, quill shafts
  • Valvetrain top retainers
  • Chassis components

Aerospace Applications

CR14 is suitable for parts requiring high specific strength, high specific stiffness and excellent ductility.

  • Replacement for 6 Al 4V / 6242 / 6246
  • Fuselage components & struts
  • Aircraft engine CFRC fan blade leading edges, compressor blades and impellers
  • Gun components and armour
  • Satellite structural components
