Q: Are titanium bolts stronger than steel?

A: Yes, titanium bolts are higher strength than 300 series stainless steel. Grade 2 is approximately 2 times stronger with a UTS of 70ksi and yield strength of 50 ksi. Grade 5 titanium screws are about 4 times stronger than 316 with a ultimate tensile of 148ksi and 138ksi yield strength. What makes titanium really special is its strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium bolts are many times stronger than stainless steel at nearly half the weight. This makes titanium ideal for applications that require strong, lightweight bolts.
