To choose the right quality titanium screws for your project, here are the main criteria to consider based on the information provided:
Application type
The grade of titanium must be adapted to the sector of activity and specific constraints:
- Grade 2 (T40): Suitable for general applications where good corrosion resistance is required, such as building, chemical industry, etc.
- Grade 5 (TA6V): Offers superior mechanical resistance, ideal for aeronautics, motor racing and applications requiring high strength.
Usage environment
Titanium's corrosion resistance varies depending on the grade. Grade 5 is more resistant to aggressive environments than grade 2.
Mechanical loads and stresses
The higher the loads and vibrations, the more you will need to opt for a resistant grade of titanium such as TA6V (grade 5).
Extreme temperatures
Grade 5 retains its properties better at very high temperatures than grade 2.
Economic considerations
Grade 2 titanium is generally less expensive than grade 5. For less demanding applications, it can help reduce costs. In short, assess the operating conditions (environment, loads, temperatures) and the technical requirements of your project to determine whether grade 2 or 5 titanium is best suited for your screws.
