Titanium in Automobiles - Titanium Wheel Bolts

Jan 08, 2024

With the popularity of cars, the tuning market is booming. More and more car enthusiasts can't help but think about how to make the car more personalized and extreme.TIFAN gives the perfect answer - changing bolts.

Thousands of bolts all over the car may seem insignificant, but they are known as "industrial instruments". The New York Times Magazine named the bolt one of the most important inventions of the last thousand years. Unknown bolts play a decisive role in the car's performance and driving maneuverability, and ultimately excellent bolts, not only its mechanical strength, fatigue and corrosion resistance to meet the standards, but also to do enough light.

Automotive lightweight has become the world trend of automotive development. Experiments have shown that the vehicle weight reduction of 10%, fuel efficiency can be increased by 6% to 8%; vehicle overall quality of every 100 kg, 100 km fuel consumption can be reduced by 0.3 to 0.6 liters, carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by about 5 grams / kilometer; vehicle weight down 1%, fuel consumption can be reduced by 0.7%. In particular, the weight of the lightweight springs can significantly enhance the anti-vibration efficiency, improve grip, reduce lift control inertia, its acceleration performance will be improved and braking distance will be reduced. You can say "light"

Wheel bolts as the most detailed and important parts of the car, as long as the strength and toughness, of course, the lighter the better. tifan (sodium titanium) is China's first focus on automotive lightweight solutions to scientific and technological innovation of the enterprise, headquartered and production base is located in Beijing, the introduction of titanium alloy wheel bolts than the original bolts to reduce the weight of 45%, the strength of the increase of more than 125%; is the industry's first indexes comprehensively meet or even exceed the titanium alloy automotive wheel bolts, and even exceeded the titanium alloy wheel bolts. It is the first enterprise in the industry whose indexes fully meet or even exceed the standard of titanium alloy automobile wheel hub bolts of grade 8.8, 9.8 and 10.9.

It is true that "titanium" can tease people, but not all titanium alloy can be used as raw materials for bolts wheel hub, wheel hub bolts bear high shear, high bearing capacity, as well as a long time of wear and tear of the micro-movement, but also need to "toughness". Toughness represents the ability of a material to absorb energy during molding, deformation and fracture. The better the toughness, the less likely it is to fracture brittlely and the higher the safety. Typically, the higher the strength of the same material, the lower the toughness, and vice versa. Thanks to the mastery and in-depth research on the application of scientific materials, we have formed a unique TIFAN titanium alloy material system and standards, and have cooperated with famous aviation enterprises to develop special titanium alloy materials, which comprehensively exceed traditional steel bolts and ordinary titanium alloy bolts in terms of both strength and toughness indexes.

Some leading automobile manufacturers, such as Ferrari, have begun to use titanium alloy wheel bolts on certain models.
