Titanium Grade 3 is a high-performance alloy used wherever standard fasteners cannot meet the corrosion, temperature, or strength envelope. TorqBolt manufactures the full Titanium Grade 3 fastener range — bolts, nuts, screws, washers, studs, and custom forgings — under one ISO 9001:2015 quality system, with PED 2014/68/EU module-H qualification for pressure-equipment service.
Titanium Grade 3 is specified in oil & gas wellhead components, refinery heat exchangers, petrochemical reactors, power-generation turbines, marine offshore platforms, and pharmaceutical / food-grade processing. Its corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and weldability make it the default for service conditions outside the carbon and standard-stainless envelope.
Titanium Grade 3 fasteners are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 (mill cert) or 3.2 (third-party witnessed) material test reports as standard. Additional certification packages: NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 (sour service), NORSOK M-650 (subsea / topside), API 6A (wellhead), API 20E (subsea bolting), PED 2014/68/EU (pressure equipment). Third-party inspection by TUV, Lloyd's, BV, DNV, SGS, and Intertek arrangeable on order.
Stock items in standard Titanium Grade 3 fastener sizes ship in 1–2 weeks; custom-manufactured items in 4–6 weeks subject to material availability. Diameters M6–M100 and 1/4"–4", lengths 10 mm–3000 mm covered in-house; oversize / non-standard sizes quoted to specification.
Titanium alloys deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio (density ~4.5 g/cm³, half of steel) combined with outstanding seawater + chloride corrosion resistance — the spontaneously-formed TiO₂ surface film is impervious to chlorides and most oxidizing acids. Titanium is the default for marine offshore, desalination, chemical-process, and aerospace fasteners requiring weight reduction with corrosion immunity.
Grade 2 commercially-pure (CP-Ti) is the workhorse: yield ~275 MPa, fully formable, weldable, the standard for heat-exchanger tubing and chloride-service bolting. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the alpha-beta alloy delivering yield ~828 MPa after solution + age treatment per AMS 4928 / ASTM B348 — the dominant aerospace + medical grade. Grade 7 / Grade 11 add Pd for crevice + reducing-acid resistance. Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) is the high-strength tubing alloy. Grade 12 (Ti-Mo-Ni) trades strength for hot-brine corrosion performance.
Titanium fasteners ship per ASTM B348 (Grade 2 / 5) and AMS 4928 / 4965 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates including hydrogen (≤ 125 ppm), oxygen, and tensile testing. Welding requires inert-gas shielding (back-purged Ar) to prevent embrittlement. NACE MR0175 sour-service is fully qualified across all common grades.
