Do you know about the strength grades of titanium screws?

Mar 30, 2026

The core strength of titanium alloy screws: GR5 (Ti-6Al-4V) has a tensile strength of approximately 900–1100 MPa and a yield strength of approximately 860–950 MPa, with a specific strength more than twice that of steel.

Commonly used grades and strengths:

Grade Tensile strength (MPa) Yield strength (MPa) Typical applications
Grade 1 240–345 170–275 Low load, corrosion resistant
Grade 2 345–485 275–380 General purpose, lightweight
Grade 5 895–1100 860–950 Aviation, automobiles, high-end equipment
Grade 9 860–980 720–820 Medium to high strength, lightweight

Compared to steel (same specifications):

Gr5 vs 10.9 grade steel: Tensile strength is similar (900–1100 MPa), but the specific strength is approximately 2.2 times that of steel, resulting in a 40%–50% weight reduction at the same strength.

Gr5 vs 12.9 grade steel: The yield strength of 12.9 grade steel is approximately 1100 MPa, slightly higher than Gr5; however, titanium alloys offer significant advantages in fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and lightweight construction.

Key Strength Properties

Extremely High Specific Strength: With a density of only 4.51 g/cm³, it achieves "weight reduction + strength preservation" in aerospace, automotive, and high-end equipment.

Excellent Fatigue Performance: High-cycle fatigue limit ≈500 MPa, approximately twice that of 45 steel, offering superior vibration and loosening resistance.

High-Temperature Stability: Gr5 maintains stable strength up to 450℃, superior to aluminum alloys (<200℃).

Non-Magnetic and Corrosion-Resistant: Non-ferromagnetic, suitable for precision electronics; naturally resistant to salt spray, acids, and alkalis, resulting in a long service life.

Strength Grades and Selection

Low Strength (Grade 1/2): Tensile strength < 500 MPa, used in non-load-bearing, corrosion-resistant applications.

Medium-High Strength (Grade 5/9): Tensile strength 860–1100 MPa, corresponding to ISO 8.8–10.9 grades, covering most industrial and high-end applications.

Ultra-High Strength: Special alloys (such as Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al) can reach 1200 MPa+, used in critical aerospace structures.

Titanium alloy screws are widely used in aerospace, medical implants and high-end machinery, and are favored for their excellent specific strength (strength to weight ratio) and environmental resistance.
