Titanium and its Alloys have attractive engineering properties. They are about 40% lighter than Steel and 60%
heavier than Aluminum with a density of .163 lbs./in³. The combination of mederate weight and high strength gives Titanium Alloys the highest
strength to weight ratios of any structural metal.
Titanium is used in diverse applications – from aircraft parts to surgical implants, and as hardware for marine
and chemical equipment – wherever high strength to weight ratios, high temperature stability and good corrosion resistence to salt
water and chemicals is required.
Titanium is and its Alloys have flat stress strain curves, and when properly machined, can produce an excellent
surface finish due to its unique chip formation characteristics. For best results, sharpen tools frequently; use proper tool angles and
adequate coolants, directed closely to the point of contact. slow speeds and heavy feeds are recommended.
Commercially pure (CP) grade 2 is 99% Titanium, Alloyed with minimal contents ( 0.20% or less of
each ) of iron, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and less than 0.4% residual elements.
Titanium Threaded Rod, Titanium Hex Bolts and Titanium Nuts are also available on the Small Parts, Inc product line.
