When it comes to selecting the best titanium grade for your application, understanding the properties and uses of each grade is essential. At Yonristic, we prioritize using high-quality titanium in our exhaust systems to ensure optimal performance and durability.
Why Yonristic Chooses Grade 1 Titanium
At Yonristic, we have chosen to use Grade 1 titanium for our exhaust systems due to its exceptional properties that offer significant advantages over other grades. Here's why Grade 1 stands out:
Purity and Strength: Grade 1 titanium is one of the purest forms of titanium, offering superior strength while being the softest. This unique combination allows it to handle significant heat and expansion without compromising its structural integrity. It’s ideal for aerospace, chemical processing, and marine applications. This makes it perfect for automotive exhaust systems that need to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
Lightweight: Titanium is significantly lighter than stainless steel. By using Grade 1 titanium, we achieve a weight reduction of over 60%, enhancing the vehicle's performance, handling, and fuel efficiency.
Formability: The excellent formability of Grade 1 titanium means it can be easily shaped and customized to fit specific vehicle models. This allows us to create bespoke exhaust systems tailored to individual preferences, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.
Corrosion Resistance: Grade 1 titanium offers excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring longevity and durability even in harsh environments. This property is crucial for exhaust systems that are exposed to various elements.
Enhanced Sound Quality: The thinner material of Grade 1 titanium generates a superior, more refined sound, providing a richer and more aggressive exhaust note that enhances the driving experience.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the most commonly used titanium grades and their unique benefits:
Titanium Grade 1
Grade 1 is the strongest and softest titanium alloy, yet it is incredibly strong and highly durable. It can handle significant heat and expansion, making it ideal for auto parts and piping. Its excellent impact toughness and formability make it the top choice for automotive applications where flexibility and resilience are crucial. Unlike the numbering might suggest, the grade number is not an indicator of quality, but rather the composition and properties suited for different uses.
Titanium Grade 2
Known for its excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, Grade 2 is great for applications such as pipe shrouds and heat shields. It is lightweight yet strong, making it a versatile choice for many industries.
Titanium Grade 3
Though less common, Grade 3 provides higher mechanical properties while maintaining good ductility and formability. It’s suitable for aerospace and marine applications where strength is crucial.
Titanium Grade 4
The strongest of the commercially pure grades, Grade 4 is used in aerospace and industrial applications due to its high strength and low ductility. It’s also finding use in the medical field for surgical hardware.
Titanium Grade 5
Also known as Ti 6Al-4V, this is the most widely and commonly used titanium alloy, combining high strength, toughness, and good weldability with 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium.
Titanium Grade 7
Similar to Grade 2 but with added palladium for enhanced corrosion resistance, Grade 7 is used in chemical processing and power generation where protection against acids is essential.
Titanium Grade 9
Grade 9 offers a balance between the strength of Grade 5 and the formability of lower grades. It’s used in aerospace and automotive applications, providing excellent cold rolling properties.
Titanium Grade 11
Like Grade 1 but with added palladium, Grade 11 offers superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for marine and chemical processing environments.
Titanium Grade 12
Renowned for its weldability and high-temperature strength, Grade 12 is used in heat exchangers and marine environments where durable, high-performance materials are needed.
