- ⚠️ Unsprung mass reduction for tire contact patch control
- ⚠️ Fatigue failure under sustained aerodynamic downforce
- ⚠️ Thermal expansion mismatch with carbon wishbones
- ⚠️ Thread strip-out from repeated geometry adjustments
- ⚠️ Fretting corrosion at monoball/spherical bearing interfaces
2 Material Selection Rationale
Ti-6246 (Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo) — Alpha-beta, ultra-high strength >1100MPa, aerospace suspension grade
Ti-6246 (Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo) for wishbone clevises and high-load brackets requiring >1100MPa yield. Ti-1023 (Beta) for hub bolts replacing Grade 12.9 steel at 45% weight saving. Grade 5 for pushrods, droplinks, and turnbuckles. Grade 4 CP-Ti for camber shims.
3 Form Selection Rationale
Round Bar / Rod — for turning, fasteners
Bar stock for pushrods and turnbuckles with CNC turning + left/right hand thread rolling. 5-axis CNC billet machining for clevis brackets. Hot heading + thread rolling for hub bolts. Fine blanking + lapping for camber shims.

Process Pitfalls:
- ⚠️ Hub bolts require 100% MPI crack detection — a subsurface crack at 1200MPa tensile leads to catastrophic wheel loss
- ⚠️ Carbon wishbone thermal expansion matched by Grade 5 bearing housings — aluminum causes bond-line stress at track temperature deltas
