'''Carbotanium''' is a method of combining a [[Titanium|beta titanium]] [[alloy]] with advanced [[Carbon fiber|carbon composite]]s, the combination 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. The [[titanium]] and carbon composites are combined by first abrading the titanium to be bonded, coating the titanium with [[platinum]], aging the titanium, spraying [[primer]] on the coated titanium, applying [[adhesive]] to the primer side of the titanium and then applying the [[carbon]] to the adhesive. This allows the carbon composite to bond securely to the titanium. This [[Composite material|composite]] uses the best properties of each component, the combination having a better set of properties than either part. This material is both strong and light.<ref name=patentstorm>{{cite web|url=http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5733390/fulltext.html|title=Carbon-titanium composites|accessdate=21 May 2011}}</ref> |

Carbotanium is a method of combining a beta titanium alloy with advanced carbon composites, the combination 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. The titanium and carbon composites are combined by first abrading the titanium to be bonded, coating the titanium with platinum, aging the titanium, spraying primer on the coated titanium, applying adhesive to the primer side of the titanium and then applying the carbon to the adhesive. This allows the carbon composite to bond securely to the titanium. This composite uses the best properties of each component, the combination having a better set of properties than either part. This material is both strong and light.[1]
The Italian car company Pagani used this weave for their later extra strong and lightweight Zonda R/Cinque and Huayra supercars.
