Some of my most recent additions. I actually see some cost reduction due to reduction of Boeing use of Ti and more low-cost Ti coming from EU due to deindustrialization.

Higher than 24Volt does not produce Titanium color that motorists want. 9-24V gold, purple, blue, and combination gradients are the most popular.

Titanium Lug bolt torque test video. 221.8 lb-ft is the maximum for my torque sensor. M12 x 1.25 did not fail. The same thread nuts are significantly stronger than bolts.

Happy New Year! I use 9-24 Volts (see picture below). The main advantage of Ti Anodizing is its simplicity. Easy to remove (sand with oil) and easy to rework DIY (in baking soda). Ti color is the result of light interference. Titanium oxide is transparent. Light reflects from the exterior of Ti...

Thank you for “AVARAGE.” The first two RACESENG columns are easy to get into Excel because there is simple logic in the sequence. The two other columns have no simple logic in the sequence. Perhaps, (Next number)=(Previous number)+(130-65)/15 formula was too complex for RACESENG so they...

Just want to play more on the engineering note: As they say: “The Devil is in the Details.” Based on the chart spread the lubricated torque data does not look like derived from an engineering simulation/calculation. What make data points 2 and 10 so much different from points 7 and 14? Where...

And, 10% reduction means [135-13.5 to 150-15] vs [135 – 165] original. Torque wrench +/-5% asccuracy shrinks the torque wrench setting window to [135*1.05 …. 165*0.95] or [141...157].

More accurately to ask what is the variation of the static coefficient of friction. Coefficient of friction is the key for the correct torque calculation. Variation of friction with anti-seize compound is less than for non-lubricated steel lugs. This means higher probability to have correct...

May I ask you check my web site and tell me if you, as an average customer, still want to see engineering reports on my nuts? As you can see, I provide transmission gear and variable ratio steering rack design for the car that you drive and for the flight that you take. Since you drive and fly...

Good point. I have seen a wheel coming off 75mph car on I-5. There are regulations in the US on the aftermarket rims, but not as strict as in EU. If we had US government regulation as strict as EU has, we would not have aftermarket rims/lugs due to frivolous lawsuits. I am not sure if you can...

Good points. I design and manufacture Titanium lug nuts (sold 50000 in 2023). Titanium Lug Nut could be more elastic than the steel stud. Some nuts have floating seats and it is still a question if you want to lubricate between the seat and the main body of Ti nut. I do not lubricate my floating...

Still have some. No returnes, no complaints. I use this larger outside diameter nuts on my Carbon Fiber rims:
