RE: Titanium applications in car engines, etc12 Jun 2024 20:00
If you fo back to yesterday around 3pm, the idea and conversation was brought up then.
I felt same way, there is no chance your getting your parts cheap, there hard components to make and the amount of man hours going into them, I've turned milled and tapped titanium components, you can pretty much write off my week as they take time just on basic drawings.
But the price we charge in total, from material to the shop floor and additional costs, £80 hour minimum labour costs etc it would be extortionate.
Bugatti do it, but ford wouldn't dream
