Titanium has the characteristics of light weight and high specific strength, and its specific gravity is only 1/2 of that of steel. So the application of titanium in automobile field will greatly reduce the weight of automobile, save fuel consumption, improve the efficiency of automobile work and reduce exhaust emissions. According to information, vehicle weight reduction and exhaust emissions and fuel consumption are proportional to 1:1, so the lighter the car will play a dual role of “energy saving, environmental protection”.
Titanium springs are less than half the weight of steel springs. In domestic cars, four titanium springs are usually used to reduce the weight of about 10 kilograms. In recent years, many manufacturers of racing cars, high-end cars and trucks have used titanium exhaust system and suspension titanium spring to reduce the weight of the car itself, so as to achieve the effect of energy saving and speed increasing. With the increasing shortage of fuels in the future, titanium will eventually occupy an important position in the production of automotive parts.
