Many bicycle fans like titanium bicycles very much. The application of titanium metal greatly improves the performance of bicycles and promotes the trend of titanium bicycle sport. Then what are the specific performance and advantages of titanium alloy frame?
Performance of titanium alloy frame
(1) The strength of titanium and its alloys is comparable to that of alloy steel.
(2) The fatigue life of titanium alloy frame is 5 times higher than that of ordinary steel frame and aluminum frame; That means bicycles will last longer.
(3) Excellent corrosion resistance and long life. Titanium alloy is a high performance material used in aerospace products. It has excellent metal material properties and is internationally recognized as an advanced and ideal material for the production of a variety of high-end bicycles for racing and leisure.
Advantages of titanium alloy frame
(1) Titanium alloy can make light weight and strong frame, adding aluminum and vanadium in titanium metal, higher elasticity (compared with aluminum), but also conducive to the design of the overall frame;
(2) no rust: titanium in the general environment will almost not be corroded, long time down the appearance will not change;
(3) Titanium is also used in shock absorber springs. Now the frame made of titanium is suitable for long time riding, some riders love titanium frame, riding excellent;
(4) Titanium alloy not only its density is only 60% of steel, aluminum alloy frame in this respect can not be compared with titanium alloy frame.
As the high strength and low density titanium alloy material applied in the bicycle frame, it will not only make the frame light weight, high strength, but also make the frame more durable.
