I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

Carbide is the new thing with rings. I don't know why.
I've got laser etching equipment at my disposal. I was planning to do some really exotic engravings, but I never got around to it. Thats getting off topic. Anyway. cloudbuster is kinda right. I should find out for myself what Ti should be shaped like. Except that that'll take LOTS of time. And LOTS of money. It wouldn't fit with my current R&D budget. This is the research part of R&D. Where I ask someone else. The I analyze the data given to me and make professional decisions on where to go next. I.E. a photographic comparison between Ti rods and steel rods for the same engine. Expirementally, someone wants to fund airfoil shaped rods for a 6. I'll do that here soon. |
