Titanium Shackles

Why Choose Titanium Shackles? ------------Ruiyang company could supply you kinds of titanium shackles for your choice

1.Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Titanium shackles offer 45% lighter weight than steel counterparts while maintaining comparable strength. With a tensile strength ranging from 240 to 1,400 MPa, they handle extreme loads without compromising structural integrity;

2. Corrosion Resistance:Unlike traditional steel shackles, titanium naturally resists: - Saltwater corrosion - Chemical degradation - Pitting and crevice corrosion This makes them ideal for marine environments and chemical processing plants.

3.Non-Magnetic Properties:Critical for: - Marine navigation equipment - MRI facilities - Subsea operations requiring EM neutrality;

4. Temperature Resilience:Operate in extreme conditions from -250°C to 600°C (-418°F to 1,112°F) without losing strength.

Technical Specifications Comparison

Maintenance Advantages Titanium shackles require minimal upkeep due to: 

Natural oxide layer protection

No galvanic corrosion with proper insulation

UV radiation resistance

Common titanium alloys for shackles: 

1. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V): Optimal balance of strength and corrosion resistance

2. Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI): Enhanced fracture toughness for medical/surgical use

3. Grade 12 (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni): Superior crevice corrosion resistance

4. Grade 2: good corrosion resistance

Meanwhile,Cost-Benefit Analysis While titanium shackles have 3-5× higher upfront cost than steel,but ti ahackles offer 4× longer service life with 60% reduced maintenance costs and Zero replacement costs from corrosion damage
