Some of the best features of Titanium Fasteners includes its Excellent strength to weight ratio & its inert behaviour to chlorine containing compounds and seawater.Similar to some grades of stainless steel that have a passivated oxide layer, Aerospace Titanium Fasteners too have the ability to regrow their protective passive layer rapidly in the presence of oxygen and a minimum of 50ppm of moisture.
This is the reason why Titanium Screws have an unrivalled resistance to saline environments. They are resistant to elevated temperatures and high velocity in both moving currents ad well as in stagnant water. Titanium Nuts are resistant to high velocity, rapidly moving currents as well as stagnant seawater, and they aren’t affected by the presence of sulphides in marine environments.
Although they have good resistance against chlorine, titanium isn’t resistant to reducing acids and media.The protective layer formed on titanium protects the fasteners from oxidation resistance. In Oxidizing environments, the absence of water can cause Titanium Bolts And Fasteners to rapidly corrode or even ignite.
Titanium Bolts And Fasteners are not only strong, but also lightweight. In terms of strength, is almost 4 times stronger in comparison to 316 grade stainless steel, which is two times heavier than the said metal. This property makes them ideal to be used as Titanium Aircraft Fasteners in the aircraft, sports and medical fields.
Besides these features, Titanium Threaded Rod is resistant to corrosion. Hence the Titanium Alloy Washers are an used in industries like marine, chlor-alkali, desalination, offshore, medical, pulp & paper as well as the oil and gas industries.These industries, not only demand a corrosion resistant alloy, but also a strong one. Therefore Titanium Alloy Washers are well suited to them.
