Corrosion Resistance
Saltwater
Perhaps the most notable attribute of titanium fasteners are their superior corrosion resistance to salt water / seawater. Titanium screws have the unique ability to rapidly regrow their protective passive layer in the presence of oxygen, giving them unparalleled resistance to salt water environments.
• Proven resistance in decades of polluted seawater
• Usable in ocean depths of a mile beneath the surface
• Resistant to high velocity, rapidly moving currents as well as stagnant seawater
• Not affected by the presence of sulfides in seawater
• Ideal for sea splash and tide zones
• Seawater resistant to temperatures as high as 500°F (260°C)
Chloride, Chlorine & Other Media
Similar to salt water, titanium’s strong, protective oxide film which regenerates in oxygen makes it extremely resistant to oxidizing environments, and chlorides solutions, including hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, sodium chlorite, and chlorine dioxide. This protection holds true as long as moisture is present – which can be as little as 50ppm of moisture. Oxidizing environments in the absence of water can cause titanium to rapidly corrode or even ignite. Titanium screws are not resistant to reducing media and acids (see chart).
Lightweight Strength
Not only are titanium grade 5 fasteners extremely strong, offering 148 ksi UTS and 138ksi yield they are also incredibly light. With a density of 4.51 g /cm3, titanium has on of the the highest strength-to-weight ratios available to industry. Titanium Grade 5 screws are 4 times stronger than 316 stainless steel at nearly half the weight. This makes titanium fasteners ideal for applications that require both lightness of weight and excellent strength such medical, military and sporting goods.
Which Grade is Best for Your Application?
The most common grades of of Titanium fasteners are Grade 2 (commercially pure Ti) and Grade 5 (Ti 6Al-4V - high strength). Still not sure?

Titanium Frequently Asked Question of the Week
Titanium Grade 5 Compared to Monel K500 Bolts in Rough Seawater |
Q: I have a subsea application that is exposed to extremely rapid moving salt water. Not only is it faced with these corrosive conditions but it must also be strong – 150 ksi tensile strength – in order to withstand these rough waters and maintain the structure’s integrity. Can you help? We had tried Titanium grade 5 but it did break over time.
A: For your situation of salt water corrosion, rapidly flowing water and strength, I would suggest trying Monel K500. Monel bolts are the go to for many marine applications for the corrosion resistance to seawater. In addition, they do very well in rapid seawater. Finally, Monel K500 bolts will be stronger than titanium bolts with a tensile strength of 160ksi, compared to 148ksi of titanium. |

Titanium Grade 5 Temperauture vs Strength
Titanium Screws
12 Point Screws | Titanium 12 point screws are best for applications that require higher torque than a socket head cap screw or head head bolt, however they are be less economical due to the complexity to manufacture the head. Available in 1/4" or larger sizes. | • IFI-115 |
Button Head Cap Screws | Titanium button head screws offer a wide clamping area and low profile. Button heads are most commmonly available with a socket driver and are best for fastening material that is too thin to counter bore. | • ASME B18.3 |
Flat Head Screws | Titanium flat head screws are typically offererd in a 82° countersink angle, but can be custom made to other angles from 60° -120°. Available in slotted and socket drivers, titanium flat head screws are designed to be flush with the surface. Phillips, 6-lobe, torx and tamperproof drivers can also be specially manufacturing per drawing. | • ASME B18.3 |
Hex Head Cap Screws | Hex head cap screws offer an added washer face to the bolt head which is lacking on a hex bolt. Titanium hex head cap screws provide tighter dimensional tolerances over hex bolts. These screws are best used for applications that need a high clamping force with easy access. Generally available in #2 - 1/2" sizes and metric sizes. | • ASME B18.6.3 |
Pan Head Screws | Titanium pan head screws feature a rounded top are with either a slotted or phillips driver. These screws are best used for small diameter fastener needs, as well as low torque applications. | • ASME B18.6.3 |
Security Screws | When security is critcal, titanium tamper proof driver designs provide resistance to unwanted removal due to the fact that they are not accessible with an ordinary driver. Titanium security screws are available in several different drive styles and heads, as well as custom per print. | |
Set Screws | Titanium set screws are available in cup, cone, flat, dog and half-dog points. Set screws have no head and feature a socket or slotted driver at one end. | • ASME B18.3 |
Socket Head Cap Screws | Titanium socket head cap screws are known as a safe reliable fastener in limited access situations where there is little clearance around the screws. They are also economic. | • ASMET B18.3 |
Vented Screws | Vented screws are ideal for high vacuum fastening because the hole drilled through its axis (from head through threads) allows gases/contaminents to vent and relieve pressure. Titanium vented screws are available in any style. |
Titanium Bolts
Hex Head Bolts | Titanium hex bolts are similar to hex head cap screws but without the added washer face. They are an economic solution to high clamping force applications with ease access. | • ASME B18.2.1 |
Shoulder Bolts | Titanium shoulder bolts are made up of a head, shoulder and threaded segment. The smooth shoulder section allows for rotating parts. Typically available with socket drivers. | • ASME |
Wedge Anchor Bolts | Also referred to as anchor studs, Titanium wedge anchor bolts are an ideal solution when you need a high strength, corrosion resistant fastener to attach equipment and materials to concrete. |
Titanium Nuts
Hex Nuts | Titanium hex nuts are available in a variety of styles including finished hex nuts, jam nuts and heavy hex nuts. | • ASME B18.16.3 |
Lock Nuts | Lock nuts are available in all metal (all metal, flexloc and stover) and polymer insert styles. All-metal titanium lock provide even load distribution and can be used at high temperatures. Polymer insert styles are more economical and are best for temperatures under than 350°F. | • ASME B18.16.3M |
Titanium Studs & Threaded Rod
Studs | Titanium studs are fully threaded or partially threaded and made to custom lengths. | • ASME B18.31.2 |
Threaded Rod | Titanium threaded rod or all thread are available in lengths greater than 1 foot. Minimum order quantity is a total of 6 of rod (1 x 6ft rod, 2 x 3ft rods, etc.). | • ASME B1.1 |
