Why do sports cars prefer to use titanium alloy systems?

Why do so many people love "sports cars" enthusiastically, and want to come to "cool, chic and expensive" can briefly summarize the reasons. A sports car can show a person's identity, aesthetics and personality to a certain extent. When it comes to sports cars, the word "modification" is probably what many people have printed in their minds. A sports car is inherently inseparable from modification.

The modification of sports cars often starts with the exhaust system. Many racing enthusiasts have a titanium alloy style exhaust system. The titanium alloy system with strong color and loud sound is highly sought after in the sports car circle. Let's talk about why sports cars. Prefer to use titanium alloy system.

Titanium alloy exhaust systems are usually several times more expensive than traditional stainless steel exhaust systems. However, they provide many significant improvements to the performance and aesthetics of the sports car. They are lighter, more durable, improve the overall handling and performance of the car, and more importantly, they look really cool.

Many people like to spend huge sums of money to buy it, and whether this kind of "arrogance" is necessary, let you know.

What is titanium?

Titanium is the 22nd element in the periodic table. It is widely recognized and used because of its luster and metallic white.

Scientific point of view

Let us look at the scientific origin of the magic metal titanium. Unlike alloy steels mainly made of iron and carbon, titanium is an element on the periodic table. Its atomic number is 22, which means that the nucleus of a titanium atom contains 22 protons.

Although titanium has many of the same chemical properties as other metals such as iron and aluminum, it stands out in several important ways. First, it has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Since titanium has only 22 protons (compared to the 26 protons of iron), its atoms are relatively light. In addition, due to the way electrons are distributed inside the atoms, relatively few titanium atoms can be filled into a fixed volume. Both of these factors give titanium a very low density, especially relative to its strength.

Titanium also has strong corrosion resistance and a very high melting point. Although titanium also oxidizes (rust) in the air, when it oxidizes (rust), it forms a protective oxide layer on its surface, which greatly slows down the oxidation process. Its high melting point originates from the extremely strong intermolecular force, which makes titanium ions firmly fixed in the delocalized electron cloud.

Contrary to popular belief, titanium is not difficult to machine. The hard-to-use argument is likely to come from early manufacturers who didn’t know how to use metal. Titanium is more ductile than steel and can be hot and water cut, chipped, dented, and bent like other metals commonly used in manufacturing. If you only use low cutting speeds, high moving speeds, and insist on using sharp and unworn tools, titanium can be made into any number of products.

Having said that, what impact does it have on the exhaust system of a car?

First, titanium is about 45% lighter than steel. The density of titanium is 4.51 g/cm3, while the density of steel is 7.8 g/cm3. It has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all metals, whether it is an element or an alloy.

It is a common misconception that titanium is the strongest of all metals. In fact, overall, steel is stronger and harder than titanium. It has a higher modulus of elasticity (the degree of resistance to bending and warping) and stronger scratch resistance. This is why steel is used in the load-bearing parts of automobiles, such as axles, and why many manufacturing processes continue to use steel parts.

The main conclusion here is simple: in terms of its weight, titanium is by far the strongest metal. Titanium alloy exhaust pipes can easily match the strength of similar steel parts while significantly reducing weight. For this reason, titanium is very precious in the racing world, and every ounce is important. The reduced weight improves the handling, acceleration and overall performance of the vehicle.

Due to its reduced weight, the titanium alloy exhaust system produces a unique note that is completely different from the typical steel exhaust tone. It was described as an exotic "aggressive, harsh and metallic" sound. In short, the tone of the titanium alloy exhaust system is the battle cry of top racing cars.

Two other interesting properties of titanium are its durability and heat resistance. Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion, stains and rust. This, together with its reduced weight, makes the life of titanium alloy exhaust systems generally longer than similar steel exhaust systems. In addition, titanium dissipates heat more efficiently than steel and cools down almost immediately. This prevents the exhaust gas from warping at high temperatures and further extends its service life. This is a particularly big benefit for motorcyclists, because it prevents them from scalding themselves when getting on and off the car.

Finally, let alone the aesthetic appeal of titanium. Although stainless steel exhaust pipes are usually polished or dark silver, titanium can emit shades of gold, bronze, purple, and sky blue.
