Titanium alloy is a relatively young metal, it has a history of 60 to 70 years since it was developed. After entering the 20th century, traditional steel and aluminum can no longer meet the needs of aerospace, navigation and other fields. In 1954, titanium alloy was developed by an American company.
Seamless titanium tube manufacturer says that titanium alloys are made up of other elements that have been added to the base of titanium. Titanium alloys have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, low elasticity, high temperature and corrosion resistance. They are used in aerospace engines, rockets, and missiles. There are also many grades of titanium, and different industries will choose appropriate grades of titanium according to the requirements.
I believe many people know this material because of a popular phrase - "blind my titanium eye"! Many countries in the world have realized the importance of titanium alloy materials, and have carried on the research and development of it, and has been applied in practice. Today, let's take you to see the application of titanium alloy in design.
Lamborghini
Lamborghini Aventador Estatura GXX heavily uses carbon fiber, aviation grade titanium alloy, lightweight at the same time, the vehicle sports texture greatly improved.

Its casing was printed by NTT using German company EOS's EOSINT M 280 3D printer, a selective laser sintering (SLS) system for metal parts made from titanium Ti64 powder.
ID Mouse
ID Mouse designed by Intelligent-design in the Netherlands. The surface is made of titanium alloy material, metal drawing treatment is more noble, and added to the resin material, another worth mentioning is the mouse wheel, the use of Neodymium metal we are not familiar with, this is known as the "king of permanent magnet" material with excellent performance applied in electronic machinery and other industries. There are two options on the side of the mouse, black and white, with simplicity.
