Re: titanum head and stud bolts

<< 
 How do you torque a ti head bolt?  I've got a bit of experience with ti
 fasteners for other applications, and they stretch - a LOT, at least a
 3/2.5 cold rolled thread bolt, mostly smaller, but even so....  Curious. >>

good point this is something i already brought up to the people manufacturing
the bolts. the titanium is strain hardened for just this point much like 318L
stainless strain hardened i am just learning the characteristics of titanium
myself a learn curve if you will . knowing about metals already im assuming
this will be much the same just a bit lighter.  the titanium stud bolts are
already in use and have not stretched at all so far. used on  a club rabbit
car here locally .
