Lightweight
Mass is a system
Removing mass from the right location changes inertia, balance, packaging, and how quickly the whole vehicle responds.
Material library / RP-03
Choose
the margin.
Material selection is a performance decision. Compare the density, strength, thermal behavior, and service range behind the Redline component library.
RP-M01 / Titanium
Ti 6Al-4V
Lightweight, resilient, and engineered for components where every gram changes the balance of the system.
Density4.43 g/cm³
Yield strength900 MPa
Thermal conductivity6.2 W/mK
Service range−196 / 400°C
Interactive selection
The right
tradeoff.
Select a material to shift the sample, update its data, and see how the choice changes the design conversation.
02
Resilient
Heat has a memory
A material is selected for the duty cycle it will see—not just the peak number on a room-temperature datasheet.
03
Traceable
Every batch counts
Certification and traceability make performance repeatable from one build to the next, season after season.
Selection matrix
Tradeoffs
made visible.
There is no universal best material. The right choice changes with load, heat, mass target, service interval, and the cost of failure.
| Material | Best for | Primary advantage | Watchout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ti 6Al-4V | Low-mass rotating parts | Strength-to-weight | Thermal conductivity |
| Inconel 718 | Exhaust-side duty | High-temperature strength | Density and machining time |
| 300M Steel | High-cycle shafts | Fatigue resistance | Mass and corrosion control |
| Toray T800 | Structural housings | Stiffness and isolation | Impact and inspection process |
Surface engineering
The finish
does work.
Material selection sets the foundation. Coatings and treatments determine how that foundation behaves in contact, heat, and repeated load.
DLC coating
A low-friction carbon layer for journal and contact surfaces where heat and wear compete with efficiency.
Shot peening
Controlled compressive stress improves fatigue life on critical steel components without changing the design envelope.
Anodize & seal
A protective surface system for aluminum and titanium parts exposed to handling, heat, and aggressive environments.
