Despite excellent properties of titanium alloys such as superior corrosion resistance in chloride containing environments and high specific strength, the high production cost of titanium has limited its application in transport. While titanium alloys have found wide application in aerospace, particularly in components of the jet engine, only limited usage is found so far in automobiles. Another well known application of titanium is in the marine area, e. g., in submarines. Although titanium alloys could be used in the powertrain, chassis and the bodywork of automobiles, up to now, titanium is incorporated only in luxury or sports cars. A wider distribution of titanium in mass production automotive applications would require drastic decreases in its price. However, a cost-effective manufacturing process for titanium is not yet in sight.
