Carbotanium

Carbotanium is a combination of beta titanium alloy and carbon composite.

It is a combination of beta titanium alloy with advanced carbon composites, having a matched yield strength and moduli of elasticity ratio.

When the combination is adhesively bonded, both parts will approach maximum yield strength and fail at a similar amount of total strain.

[1] The components of carbotanium; carbon fiber and titanium, are woven together to form a strong, light material that can withstand significant amounts of heat and strain.

Although not all Pagani Zondas are manufactured to include carbotanium, some are built with carbon fibre structures and other variations of composite materials have been used.
