Analysis Of The Reasons Why Titanium Alloy Screws Are Favored


Titanium alloy screws are becoming more and more popular in today's market, mainly due to the unique properties and wide applicability of titanium material itself. Titanium is a chemically active metal, which can form a very thin TIO₂ oxide film on the surface at the moment of contact with air. The oxide film has stable properties and high inertness, which can effectively prevent further oxidation and corrosion, thereby giving titanium alloy excellent biocompatibility. In terms of mechanical properties, titanium alloy has lower density and higher strength, its elastic modulus is closer to human bones, it has ideal biomechanical compatibility, and it also has good processing and forming capabilities.


In recent years, titanium alloy screws and fasteners have been increasingly widely used, and their significant advantages have gradually been recognized by the market.This type of screw has the characteristics of high strength, single-sided assembly, and reusable. With the development of industrial technology and society, titanium alloy screws will surely usher in a broader space for development.


Specifically, the advantages of titanium alloy screws are mainly reflected in the following aspects:


1. High Specific Strength      

The density of titanium is 4.51g/cm3, which is higher than that of aluminum and lower than that of steel, copper, and nickel, but its strength is far higher than that of most metals.  Therefore, titanium alloy screws have the characteristics of light weight and high strength.


2. Strong Corrosion Resistance     

Titanium and titanium alloys exhibit extremely high stability in a variety of media, are suitable for a variety of corrosive environments, and have a long service life.


3. Excellent High And Low Temperature Resistance      

Titanium alloy screws can work stably in high temperature of 600℃ and low temperature of -250℃, and can keep the shape unchanged and adapt to extreme working conditions.


4. Non-Magnetic, Safe And Non-toxic

Titanium is a non-magnetic metal, and it is not easy to be magnetized in a strong magnetic field. At the same time, it is non-toxic and has good compatibility with human tissues. It is suitable for medical and precision instruments.


5. Strong Damping Resistance

After titanium alloy is subjected to mechanical or electrical vibration, its vibration attenuation time is longer than that of steel, copper and other metals. This characteristic makes it suitable for high-demand occasions such as audio vibrating films and medical ultrasonic components.


With the continuous development of the titanium industry, the application of titanium alloy screws will no longer be limited to high-end manufacturing and precision industries, but will gradually penetrate into more areas of daily life. Taken together, the development prospects of titanium alloy screws are broad and the future is promising.
