Titanium Alloys

Low density, high strength

Titanium is a light, high-strength material with a natural resistance to marine and chlorine corrosion.

It offers one of the highest strength to weight ratios of any metal, and even in its unalloyed form, it is as strong as some steels but around 45% lighter. Commercially pure (CP) titanium is a term used to describe unalloyed titanium for industrial use.

Minor impurities such as carbon, iron and oxygen still exist in these materials, but their levels can be controlled to produce a range of product attributes. Titanium alloys contain additional quantities of other elements such as vanadium and aluminium to enhance mechanical properties and corrosion resistance further.

Titanium vs Aluminium

Aluminium offers many of the qualities of titanium - it represents a more cost-effective alternative and is more common.

However, titanium is stronger than aluminium, boasting higher strength and improved corrosion resistance. Titanium is often used to replace high-strength steel alloys in motorsport applications as it provides a much greater strength-to-weight ratio. As with all our products, suitability is determined by the application related to the performance characteristics of the alloy.

ALUMINIUM RANGE
Aluminium is cheaper while still offering attractive strength-to-weight-ratio capabilities.The selection of an alloy for use in motorsport application depends on the attributes of the material.
While titanium is more expensive, it offers a greater strength to weight ratio, making it particularly useful in suspension and chassis components.
