In the aerospace industry, materials that are both high-strength and lightweight is the key. By making use of new combinations of materials, weight can be reduced further, strength and corrosion resistance can be increased and assembly can be simplified by using an integrated design. Whereas structural parts made of aluminium, titanium or high strength steel are machined on machining centres or gantry machines, final assembly machining is carried out by handheld machines, drill feed units or robots.
Lower weight means lower fuel consumption resulting in fewer emissions. Therefore, many different applications for titanium materials can be found in automotive engineering. Starting with engine components, through to transmission parts and suspension elements as well as exhausts. The automotive manufacturers’ objective is to make vehicles lighter and therefore more environmentally friendly.
