Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Sometimes called the "space age metal", it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant transition metal with a silver color.
The two most useful properties of the metal form are corrosion resistance and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal.
Titanium have ultimate tensile strength of about 63,000 psi (434 MPa), equal to that of common, low-grade steel alloys, but is 45% lighter. Titanium is 60% more dense than aluminium, but its twice as strong as the most commonly used aluminium alloy.
How do you knopw what is the bolt type and size ? Below is a chart to assist you.
Element Cycles now carry Ti Bolts and below is the specs/types that we have
A-M6x20mm for brake caliper
B-M6x30mm for head lock ,seat clamp
C-M5x20mm for stem,brake lever,fd
D-M5x8mm for rotor , bottle cage
The bolts available are all original coloured and are machine from TI Grade 5. What is grade 5 ?
Grade 5, also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium.[3] Grade 5 is used extensively in Aerospace, Medical, Marine, and Chemical Processing. It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability. In consequence, its uses are numerous such as for military aircraft or turbines. It is also used in surgical implants.
