The material changes depending on the application.

Current automotive IC engines connecting rods are made of steel.

Aluminium alloys also can be used for these as an alternative. It’s light and has the ability
to absorb high impact, but it comes at the cost of durability.

Titanium is used in high performance engines. It is light and strong, but comes at a higher
cost.

Cast Iron can be used for smaller applications like two wheelers.

Hope this was helpful.

Cheers!

The connecting rods are usually made of steel alloys like 42CrMo4, 43CrMo4, 44csr4, C-70,
EN-8D, SAE1141, etc. Connecting rods are usually drop forged out of a steel alloy.
Aluminum and titanium are both materials that are also used in the manufacturing of
connecting rods for performance vehicles.
