The Fuji Racing Titan F Titanium Exhaust fasteners are expertly crafted from high-quality aircraft-grade titanium alloy, specifically Ti-6AL-4V, which is commonly referred to as Grade 5 titanium. This particular alloy is renowned for its impressive combination of strength and lightness, making it an ideal choice for high-performance applications. The manufacturing process involves full forging, which enhances the structural integrity of the fasteners, and the threads are created using an advanced rolling technique. This rolling process not only improves the accuracy of the threads but also significantly enhances fatigue resistance—an essential characteristic for fasteners subjected to repeated stress. Furthermore, this method minimizes the risk of galling, a type of wear that can occur during fastening and is detrimental to joint integrity.
Grade 5 titanium fasteners are an excellent alternative to the traditional Grade 8.8 steel fasteners, offering comparable strength while achieving a remarkable weight reduction of approximately 45%. This substantial decrease in weight is particularly beneficial in automotive applications, where reducing mass can lead to improved performance and efficiency.
In addition to their lightweight properties, titanium fasteners boast exceptional resistance to corrosion, even in the presence of harsh or aggressive chemicals. This corrosion resistance translates to a significantly longer service life compared to standard steel bolts typically used in Subaru vehicles, ensuring that the fasteners maintain their integrity and functionality over time.
