Bicycle hardware experiences severe vibrational harmonics, cyclic fatigue, and direct moisture exposure. Examine how Verqo aerospace-grade GR5 titanium outperforms steel and aluminum.
| Physical Property | GR5 Ti-6Al-4V Titanium | 7075-T6 Aluminum | Grade 10.9 Alloy Steel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density (g/cm³) | 4.43 | 2.81 | 7.85 |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | ≥ 895 – 1,000 | ≈ 570 | ≈ 1,040 |
| Yield Strength (MPa) | ≥ 828 | ≈ 500 | ≈ 940 |
| Weight vs. Steel | 43% Weight Saving | 64% Weight Saving | Baseline (Heavy) |
| Fatigue Resistance | Exceptional | Prone to stress cracking | Good (Subject to rust) |
| Sweat / Salt Resistance | 100% Corrosion Proof | Galvanic oxidation risk | Requires plating / rusts |
| Thread Forming | Precision CNC Rolled | Cut threads (Weak) | Rolled / Heat treated |
Verqo utilizes cold thread rolling machines for bicycle bolts. Rather than slicing through grain boundaries, rolling compresses and aligns the titanium grain structure continuously along thread crests and roots. This delivers:
Every single bar of titanium alloy is chemical-spectrometer verified. Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1) are supplied upon request for every overseas shipment.
Each production batch undergoes 6H/6g GO & NO-GO gauge testing. Threads engage silky-smooth in carbon frames and aluminum components without binding.
Multi-axis Swiss precision automatic lathes hold dimensional tolerances down to ±0.015 mm, ensuring optimal fit for disc brake mounts, stems, and frame pivots.
Bicycle tuners and race enthusiasts appreciate personalized aesthetics. Verqo uses advanced eco-friendly electrochemical anodizing and physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating.
Classic natural luster, brushed satin or mirror shine
Extreme surface hardness (2500+ HV), wear resistant
Uniform oxide layer, vibrant color tone that never fades
Distinctive motorsport heat-treatment gradient style
Neo-chrome iridescent spectrum, ideal for BMX & MTB
Verqo Titanium Products Co., Ltd. integrates in-house raw material cutting, multi-spindle Swiss CNC turning, rolled threading, surface processing, and clean-room packaging under one roof.
GR5 (Ti-6Al-4V) titanium delivers exceptional mechanical properties with a minimum tensile strength of 895 MPa (often reaching 950–1000 MPa in cold-drawn fasteners). At 4.43 g/cm³, it is approximately 43% lighter than carbon and alloy steel hardware. Crucially, titanium naturally forms an inert titanium dioxide protective film, rendering it completely impervious to sweat, acid rain, and winter road salts.
Yes. Backed by a decade of OEM and ODM contract manufacturing experience in Baoji, we fabricate specialized bicycle fasteners with custom thread pitches (e.g. M8×0.75, M10×1.25, M14 BMX), proprietary head shapes (dome umbrella, tapered recessed, low-profile UFO), and hollow weight-reduction centers. Simply email your CAD files (STEP, IGES, PDF) to our team for a fast review.
For standard bicycle hardware in stock (such as M5 stem bolts, bottle cage screws, and caliper pins), MOQ begins at 100 pieces. For custom CNC machined parts with unique geometries, initial prototype testing orders can be accommodated. Prototype samples are usually dispatched within 5 to 7 working days.
Titanium threads are manufactured via precision rolled threading to achieve an ultra-smooth root and crest surface finish, significantly reducing friction. We advise technicians to apply a quality copper- or nickel-based anti-seize paste during installation and adhere to recommended torque ratings (typically 5–6 Nm for M5 stem bolts).
We support standard B2B transaction terms including Telegraphic Transfer (T/T), Letter of Credit (L/C), and PayPal for prototype samples. For air express orders, we partner with DHL, FedEx, and UPS with transit times of 3–5 business days to North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.
