    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Titanium Grade 1 (R50250)?

    Grade 1 is the softest, most ductile commercially-pure titanium per ASTM F467 (oxygen 0.18% max, iron 0.20% max). Tensile 35 ksi min, yield 25 ksi min, elongation 24% min. Used for nonferrous nut where formability matters more than strength - heat exchanger tube-sheet bolts, deep-drawn fastener heads, and chemical service requiring titanium's intrinsic corrosion resistance.

    How does Grade 1 titanium compare to Grade 2?

    Grade 1 is ~30% weaker than Grade 2 but ~20% more ductile. Choose Grade 1 only when extreme formability is required - most general nonferrous nut goes to Grade 2 (R50400). Both share titanium's intrinsic resistance to seawater, chlorides, and oxidizing acids.

    Is Grade 1 titanium used in sour service?

    Rarely. Titanium is essentially immune to H2S sour-service attack across the F467 grade family, but the nut strength requirements for typical sour-service applications usually push designs to Grade 2 (R50400) or Grade 7 (R52400). Grade 1 is a niche choice.

    What dimensional patterns are available in Grade 1 bolting?

    Less common than Gr 2 or 5 but available on order across ASME B16 and B18 inch + metric series. TorqBolt cuts Grade 1 nut from PMI-verified bar stock with full F467 certification.
