Titanium Fasteners- Bolts, Nuts and Screws

Titanium fasteners are best known for being strong, lightweight, and corrosion resistant.

Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion is a common problem for metal fasteners, but titanium doesn’t corrode easily because it is chemically inert. Titanium is also not affected by many acids and bases found in some environments. Furthermore, titanium is lightweight and strong enough to hold up to extreme temperatures, unlike steel which can break down under the high heat. Most importantly, titanium does not rust like stainless steel does. Titanium fasteners are therefore very popular for sporting goods such as mountain biking, handball, tennis and sailing.

Lightweight Strength

Titanium is a metal that is strong, durable and light. Titanium is used in the aerospace industry as well as medical implants, wheelchair frames, and dental braces. The titanium bolt/nut/screw combination weighs about half as much as steel equivalents. This weight reduction allows for better performance of an airplane engine, for example. Titanium has also been found to reduce corrosion with its ability to maintain a protective oxide layer on its surface. Titanium conducts heat very efficiently which makes it a good metal for use with electronics. So if you have any kind of project in mind that needs the strength and versatility of titanium, this metal can be your best bet for success!
