Titanium screws‘ advantages

May 14, 2023

Titanium screws have the following advantages:

Strength high density small: The density of titanium is 4.51g/cm3, higher than aluminum but lower than steel, copper, and nickel. However, its strength surpasses these metals. Titanium screws also exhibit high corrosion resistance: Titanium is stable in many environments and highly corrosion-resistant in oxidizing, neutral, and weak reducing media. This sets it apart from other materials, making titanium screws non-toxic, harmless, and environmentally friendly. Consequently, titanium screws are priced significantly higher than screws made from other materials, ranging from a few cents to several dollars per screw.
Non-magnetic and non-toxic: Titanium is a non-magnetic and non-toxic metal that remains non-magnetized even in large magnetic fields. With the increasing focus on health consciousness, titanium screws are widely used in medical auxiliary treatments. Titanium screws have excellent biocompatibility with human tissues and blood, making them suitable for use within the human body. Currently, titanium is primarily used in products such as heart stents, intramedullary nails, dental implants, therapeutic devices, and physiotherapy equipment that come into contact with the human body. The fastening components in these devices must also be made of titanium.
Widely used in special environments: Due to their lightweight nature, high strength, low density, rust resistance, corrosion resistance, and high/low-temperature resistance, titanium screws are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, medical, and chemical engineering, especially in special environments.
High corrosion resistance: Titanium is highly stable in many environments, exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance in oxidizing, neutral, and weak reducing media.
High heat and low-temperature resistance: New types of titanium alloy screws can be used at temperatures as high as 600°C or even higher. Low-temperature titanium alloys, such as Ti-5Al-2.5Sn (TA7), Ti-6Al-4V (TC4), and Ti-2.5Zr-1.5Mo, maintain good ductility and toughness in the temperature range of -196 to 253°C, avoiding metal brittleness. They are ideal materials for low-temperature containers, storage tanks, and other equipment. Most of the titanium screws produced by Seseton Metal are directly supplied to submarines, aerospace power systems, high-end kitchenware, and autonomous vehicles, enabling them to withstand high temperatures and function normally in ultra-low-temperature conditions.
Compared to traditional stainless steel, titanium screws exhibit better flexibility and oxidation resistance. They are widely used in various industries. In high-pressure environments, titanium screws have stronger compressive capabilities compared to ordinary stainless steel screws. Therefore, titanium alloys are chosen to manufacture aerospace metals, with titanium screws serving as connecting components.
