Titanium Bolts

Titanium Bolts have corrosion resistance in presence of oxidizing acids as compared to the aluminum fasteners and stainless steel fasteners. Titanium is the most lightweight alloy used for aeronautics, which is superior in chemical properties and physical strength due to its strength to weight ratio as compared to aluminum.
Due to its unique high toughness lightweight and less density titanium fasteners are widely applied with titanium bolts and nuts in space aircrafts, helicopters and airplanes. A wide range of titanium grade 5 wing nuts, clotter pins, Rivets, hex cap screws are used in the aerospace industry. Torqbolt amongst the leading  Titanium Bolts suppliers from Mumbai, India.

Attributes of Titanium Fasteners

Titanium Bolts has presence of nascent oxide, which starts forming immediately after the titanium bolts and nuts are exposed to air. Due to the presence of this oxide, titanium fasteners show excellent corrosion resistance.

Since Titanium Bolts do not show any signs of pitting, they are widely sued in exterior architectural applications. Titanium screws and nuts with titanium washers are used in the prosthetic devices. Titanium screws are often used in fixtures used for human body like kneecaps, ball joints etc.

In general titanium grade 5 screws and nuts are used for such critical application where pitting is not acceptable. Due to excellent biocompatibility titanium nuts and bolts have a large demand worldwide.

Titanium fasteners with combinations of titanium flanges and titanium pipes are widely used in chemical pressure vessels due to corrosion resistance factors and weight to strength ratio.

Automobile industry uses these lightweight titanium bolts and nuts to reduce the weight of vehicles, which in return provide better transportation.

Armies both navy and military use a lot of titanium alloy fasteners and plates to reduce the weight of armor vehicles and instruments.

Commercially pure titanium and other Titanium Bolts are immune to stress corrosion cracking unless there is a default crack in the presence of stress.

These cracking when occurs in air, forms a protective oxide layer, but when it happens in sea water then there is a probability of stress corrosion cracking.

Embrittlement of solid titanium metal is a problem with Titanium Bolts and titanium alloy fasteners.
