Titanium is currently used for high performance vehicle components such as valves, valve springs, rocker arms, connecting rods and frames due to its high strength, low weight and corrosion resistance. Because cost is a major factor in passenger vehicles
and even as small amount of titanium in every car would create a huge demand for the metal, the industry’s emphasis has been on developing low cost titanium products. In commercial engines suspensions springs, engine springs, exhaust system are all being investigated even if the major consumption for commercial vehicle is, for the time being, related mostly with the automotive and motorcycle after markets.
