Engineers choose our Grade 5 Titanium Coil Springs (Ti-6Al-4V) for one reason: to solve the weight and corrosion problems that steel cannot.
With a density of just 4.51 g/cm³, these springs offer a 40-50% weight reduction compared to steel equivalents. For racing applications, this means significantly reduced unsprung mass and faster suspension response. For industrial valves, it means total immunity to seawater and chloride attack, eliminating maintenance costs.
Not All Titanium is Created Equal. We do not use commercial purity titanium (Grade 2), which is too soft for dynamic loads. We exclusively manufacture with ASTM B863 compliant Ti-6Al-4V alloy, ensuring high yield strength (≥828 MPa) and resistance to “sagging” or setting over time.
Design Note: Use these values for FEA or stiffness calculations. Do not use steel parameters.
| Property | Value / Description | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Material Grade | Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) | ASTM B863 (Wire) |
| Density | 4.51 g/cm³ (approx. 56% of Steel) | – |
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 895 MPa (130 ksi) | ASTM E8 |
| Shear Modulus (G) | 40 – 44 GPa (Critical for Rate Calc) | – |
| Elastic Modulus (E) | 110 – 114 GPa | – |
| Max Operating Temp | ~350°C (660°F) | – |
| Corrosion Rate | 0.00 mm/year (Natural Seawater) | ASTM G31 |
Titanium’s Shear Modulus (G) is roughly half that of steel (~42 GPa vs ~80 GPa). If you copy a steel spring’s dimensions exactly, the titanium version will be 50% softer. To maintain the same spring rate, we usually need to increase wire diameter or reduce coil count. Need a conversion? Upload your steel spring drawing below, and we will redesign it for you.
Q: Can I just order a titanium spring using my steel spring’s part number?
A: No. Due to the difference in modulus, the design must be adjusted to achieve the same load. Please send us the steel spring specs, and we will calculate the titanium equivalent.
Q: What is the lead time for 100 custom springs?
A: Typically 7-10 working days for prototyping after drawing approval.
Q: Is your “Gold” finish paint or plating?
A: It is PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Titanium Nitride. It is a hard ceramic bonding, far more durable than paint, and will not peel off.
Our titanium products and manufacturing capabilities provide strong value across multiple industries. Here are the key advantages that make HonTitan a reliable partner.
HonTitan makes titanium materials that are very strong for their weight and resist corrosion very well. This makes them stable for use in aerospace, medical, chemical, and marine settings.
We provide fast turnaround for samples and bulk orders. With efficient titanium processing—including cutting, forging, and CNC machining—we ensure precision and speed for every project.
From complex CNC machining to welding, forming, and surface finishing, HonTitan can produce custom titanium parts with features such as holes, slots, threads, grooves, and precise geometries.
