Noz Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Would it be a benifit using titanium components? I've seen a few sets of head studs and bolts made from 625 and (i think 825), was wondering if there would be any general benifit from peoples opinions on this. I've some grade 2 aero titanium lying about, was wondering maybe make some new toys and fleebay them?

Kirk Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Service life will be considerably lower not to mention the costs involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Titanium is strong in some ways but not others. It's more the strength to weight ratio that makes it useful. Edited June 29, 2012 by Iky (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 You thought about going for Beryllium? Also, don't forget gold, that's a good heat reflecter. Make your wheels out of magnesium too, it'll help reduce the unsprung weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
