Why hardness requirements are required for titanium screws

The density of titanium alloy is generally about 4.51g/cm3, which is only 60% of steel. Some high-strength titanium alloys exceed the strength of many alloy structural sheets of steel. Therefore, the specific strength (strength/density) of titanium alloy is much greater than that of other metal structural materials.

 It can produce parts with high unit strength, good rigidity and light weight. The aircraft's engine components, skeletons, skins, fasteners and landing gear all use titanium alloys. So when we customize titanium metric screws, how do we choose the material of the screws? In fact, titanium alloys are produced to meet the different needs of the industry.

Because all the screws in the world are used in different environments, the positions used on machine parts are also different, and the hardness, flexibility, thermal conductivity, and wear resistance of the screws required by the machine are also different. Therefore, when customizing the production of screw fasteners for customers, they will always ask where the user’s screws are used and what kind of performance is required?

If hardness is required, then it is recommended to use titanium-cobalt alloy. Titanium-cobalt alloy is generally used to make cutting tools. When selecting the screw material, it must be understood that when the hardness of the screw is high, the titanium screw is easy to break.
