Development and application of titanium alloy materials in bicycle manufacturing

With the change in people's understanding of bicycle functions, especially the increasingly fierce international bicycle competition, bicycle manufacturers continue to seek new materials with lightweight and high strength, so titanium seamless pipe has become their target of attention.

According to the functions of each part of the bicycle, the bicycle can be divided into 13 parts, namely, the body part, the control part, the drive part, the walking part, and the transmission part. Braking part, seat part, loading part, parking part, alarm part, lighting part, accessories and connecting parts. The car body includes the frame, the front car, the front, the suspension, the valve seat and the mudguard. This part accounts for about 27% of the car's weight by its weight. The driving part includes a sprocket, a crankshaft, a pedal, a chain, a flywheel, and a chain box. This part accounts for about 22% of the car's weight. The walking part includes tires, inner Grade 3 Pure Titanium Tube, rims, spokes, and wheels, which account for about 24% of the total weight of the bicycle. It can be seen that the weight of the three parts of the body, the driving part and the walking part account for more than 70% of the total weight of the bicycle.

Therefore, the issue of titanium materialization to reduce the weight of bicycles first started here, and after more than 10 years of development and research, some of the human parts have been made of titanium material.
