Metallic Materials - Not Used for Additive Manufacture

In Simple Terms

F1 teams can use various strong metallic materials like aluminum, titanium, and special superalloys to build car parts, but these materials must not be made using 3D printing (additive manufacturing). This rule ensures teams use traditional manufacturing methods for these specific metals.

• Teams can use iron, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, nickel/cobalt superalloys, copper, and tungsten alloys
• Aluminum alloys are restricted to 2xx-7xx series with less than 1% lithium content
• These materials are only permitted when manufactured through traditional methods, NOT 3D printing
• Specific superalloy types like Inconel 625/718 and Waspaloy are approved for high-performance engine and chassis components
