Titanium is especially important to use at safety-critical points on a boat because corrosion is unacceptable when safety is at issue. Titanium is the Best. This marine hardware is 40% stronger, 40% lighter than stainless steel and most important, titanium will not rust, corrode or breakdown, ever! So it is safer and it saves you big money. Do you have graphite masts and you are dealing with increased corrosion problems on your boat? Our products are the permanent solution. The following forms of corrosion have virtually no affect on titanium in seawater: cavitation corrosion, crevice corrosion, electrochemical corrosion, electrolytic corrosion, erosion corrosion and galvanic corrosion. Our shackles, swivels, snap hooks, folding pad eyes, eye straps, perforated plates and rings are all forged, cast or fabricated in titanium
It Doesn't Corrode!
This attribute of Titanium is the most significant in the marine sea water environment. Titanium has been used in saltwater applicatio almost since the discovery of the metal in the 1950's. Industry sources indicate continuing usage of the original Titanium equipment after 30 yea of cotant saltwater immeion has produced no measurable corrosion. Other saltwater applicatio with water temperatures as high as 500ºF has produced the same result: no measurable corrosion. Titanium's corrosion resistance is due to a stable, protective and strongly adherent oxide film. The film forms itantly when Titanium is exposed to a trace of air or water.
It Saves You Money!
Since Titanium will never corrode, you won't be spending your hard earned money for replacement parts that have been destroyed by rust and corrosion. Titanium: /Own it for Life./
It's Strong!
Titanium is approximately 40% stronger than Stainless Steel, depending on the relative grades of the two metals. In fact, Titanium has the highest strength/weight ratio of any metal.
It's Light!
Titanium's relative weight, at minimum, is 40% lighter than Stainless Steel. As mentioned above, Titanium has the highest strength/weight ratio of any metal.
