My biggest criticism is that you kept mixing up the comparative values on the screen. For example at the end you tested the Chinese titanium then put up the value for the grade 8.8 bolt but labeled it Titanium for Spaceship. Then again when you tested the 12.9 bolt you put up a different value but labeled it Titanium for Spaceship again.

In a few tests you can see the head of the bolt moving well before any yield, meaning bolt has not been properly torqued. Stresses accumulate differently when you have combined stresses and strains. It is always important to torque to specification. As a design engineer we were instructed to avoid putting bolts in single shear or shear at all. Shear stress in steel is traditionally lower than tensile yield strength. Some preferred practices were not being used in these tests.

Bolts are not designed to be used in shear, that’s what pins are for. If they do get used in shear, they should be used in a double shear at the minimum and only the unthreaded portion of the fastener otherwise the bolt will fail at the small diameter in the bottom of the thread root.

Russia has the best titanium in the world... what they use on their spacecraft is the best of that best. The Soviets at one point had a whole giant vacuum fabrication facility to make titanium submarine hulls... it was a giant waste of time/resources but the engineering & fabricating processes still make them the best in the world (like Taiwan with chip production... wherein the most bleeding edge becomes almost Guild Master/Alchemist that can only be reproduced within those labs by those masters who pass on this unlearnable aspect to the head apprentices.) Same reason why everything collapsed in America cause those original labs/fabrication facilities with those old masters were shut down and they have to be essentially built from the ground up again

Worked for a foundry that produces areospace/medical titanium parts. Some of the suppliers where chinese, they produce good materials. Only issue with the cheaper bolt is the coloring, it indicated the presence on alphacase on the surface of the parts. Alphacase is very brittle so it cause problems for cyclic loads overtime (small cracks will form and weaken the part). Alphacase is formed when titanium is heated since it reacts with oxigen. Alphacase needs to be etched off the surface using hf acid for a quality part, the coloring indicates that the etching process was not properly done. Hope this info helps/clarifies for someone.

For people wondering why cheap Chinese bolts might be stronger than the space bolts - the main attribute of a space bolt would be its weight over its strength. The bolt would rate just as strong as it requires to avoid being disproportionately strong for its needs, thus: heavier than it could have otherwise been. You can bet the bolts were manufactured exactly within strength capability witin specific thresholds, in order to allow for as much enhanced weight reduction property as possible.

I have a question about those shear tests. Did you torque them to spec for specific steel or titanium and have the same torque specs for each? Only asking because the bolts are much stronger when torqued when applying to sheer strength. I believe tension strength is improved as well but I haven’t specifically looked into that in the past.

Bravo!!! Class 12.9 bolts are often used when prolonged use under harsh loads risks stretching the bolt rather than breaking it which is why very specific torque settings are required, A good example is Cylinder Head bolts on an engine that need to expand/contract and still remain tight avoiding cylinder head failure :-))

I work on metal stamping dies, and we use 12.9 bolts as standard. I've used some supertanium bolts and have never had one fail, but one of the key issues to consider is the diameter of the fastener being used. Often, the best solution is stepping up to the next size bigger. When breakage occurs the designed fasteners might not have been enough for the load Really like this type of video, a final chart on a dry erase board comparing results, would've been nice.

Another test QC would do was tap a 1/4 plate with multiple holes and screw bolts and screws into it and torque them down to a certain over loaded level and leave them for a week, sometimes the head would pop off and shoot across the room.

The shear test should be done with a flat peace of steel between 2 supports, torqued with A torque wrench. This will give you 2 shear areas, but no momentum on the screws. Also the friction between the plates will be identical fir comparison. I believe in the first test the chinese titanium screw showed a better value because it was not only applied with shear force, but also with tension because the plate was already pushed away…

When you have a booted connection in tension, the threads and nut should never fail. Only the bolt shank (grip) should fail. Again, you need to use a proper tension but for this test. In the following segment you realized it and then used a different nut and the test right broke. It needs a bit of explanation to the audience.

Yes. It was extremely confusing.
In a few tests you can see the head of the bolt moving well before any yield, meaning bolt has not been properly torqued. Stresses accumulate differently when you have combined stresses and strains. It is always important to torque to specification. As a design engineer we were instructed to avoid putting bolts in single shear or shear at all. Shear stress in steel is traditionally lower than tensile yield strength. Some preferred practices were not being used in these tests.

Worked for a foundry that produces areospace/medical titanium parts. Some of the suppliers where chinese, they produce good materials. Only issue with the cheaper bolt is the coloring, it indicated the presence on alphacase on the surface of the parts. Alphacase is very brittle so it cause problems for cyclic loads overtime (small cracks will form and weaken the part). Alphacase is formed when titanium is heated since it reacts with oxigen. Alphacase needs to be etched off the surface using hf acid for a quality part, the coloring indicates that the etching process was not properly done. Hope this info helps/clarifies for someone.

Actually you'd also want a test with their rated torque for each class. Over or under torquing per the material would give incorrect results
For people wondering why cheap Chinese bolts might be stronger than the space bolts - the main attribute of a space bolt would be its weight over its strength. The bolt would rate just as strong as it requires to avoid being disproportionately strong for its needs, thus: heavier than it could have otherwise been. You can bet the bolts were manufactured exactly within strength capability witin specific thresholds, in order to allow for as much enhanced weight reduction property as possible.

I have a question about those shear tests. Did you torque them to spec for specific steel or titanium and have the same torque specs for each? Only asking because the bolts are much stronger when torqued when applying to sheer strength. I believe tension strength is improved as well but I haven’t specifically looked into that in the past.
Bravo!!! Class 12.9 bolts are often used when prolonged use under harsh loads risks stretching the bolt rather than breaking it which is why very specific torque settings are required, A good example is Cylinder Head bolts on an engine that need to expand/contract and still remain tight avoiding cylinder head failure :-))

I've used some supertanium bolts and have never had one fail, but one of the key issues to consider is the diameter of the fastener being used.

Also the friction between the plates will be identical fir comparison.

Would second an interest in seeing the failed bolt surfaces - a ductile failure of the bolt compared to striping the thread is an interesting comparison.

Even the quality of the machining on the thread would be an interesting factor, though I'll admit that's probably too much effort for a KZread video.
Using a huge spacer on the space bolt made a huge variable. I’d get full threaded bolts same size and repeat torqued to say 40ftlbs.
I think that when you do your tests you should get a torque wrench and torque the bolts to a specific torque. Because it may make a difference if the bolts are not torqued the same. That would make your video's more accurate.

I think that quality itself isn't necessarily the issue when the product in fact matches the description of the seller on AliExpress. The problem is that regulation on such platforms is often bad, so there is no guarantee that a titanium bolt is indeed made of 100% titanium.

@@TempAccount358 That's true that many specifications are overrated in a wide variety of products sold there.
These relatively tiny bolts are incredibly strong is what I get from this video. Even the smaller ones take almost 2 metric tons of force to break. That’s about the weight of a mid sized pickup truck like a Chevy Colorado or Toyota Tacoma.
Would be cool to see this done with better controls. All bolts same diameter. Same threads. Torqued to the same spec or maybe “optimal” spec for the given material.
Thank you. I came across this video as I was researching which bolt is best to hold the fartcan exhaust on my Honda civic. 👍🏽

In the first series, that hole in the shear plate just about had to be picking up a rounded edge .
The tear test is known as tensile strength, as in under tension. You could have also done a bend test along with the shear test.

The only downside to Ti bolts is that you need cadmium free tools to work on the Ti parts or else the cadmium corrodes the Ti. I worked at Viking Metallurical Corp, they make Ti jet engine parts and learned about this gift from space.

Years ago a surgeon in Hawaii found out right before surgery that he didn’t have the titanium rods he needed. He went to the auto parts store and bought titanium screwdrivers and hacked off the handles. The rods he inserted ultimately failed and after the next surgery to replace them the doctor tossed the inferior rods but a nurse retrieved them and turned them over to authorities. The patient was very elderly. I remember thinking that this guy went through too much to get to the position of a surgeon and then just shanked it. Like is a race to see if you die of natural causes before you really screw up something.
I would have liked to see the same tests with you torquing them to the same spec. With and without anti seize or another thread prep. Very cool though.
You should have used a torque wrench for this experiment, in order to compare fairly these bolts. When tightened adequetly, all the cutting force turns to traction tensions. Failing to evenly torque bolts, could lead to uneven results
@dasmith1723

and if your measuring things equally, using a spacer changes the stretch of the bolt .
A better comparison would be to use two bolts of equal weight rather than the same size. That would show the relative strength vs weight. Titanium has an advantage in being lighter and does not rust, even in saltwater.
Looking at strength numbers can tell a small part of the story. Stress vs strain curves would be much more interesting to investigate.
I use the Chitanium bolts for the DB killer on my bike. The T30 bolts show no signs of strippage whereas the 4mm hex bolts that they replaced where dangerously close to stripping after two track days.
2:28 you can see light/gap under the head of the bolt. You need a washer or a chamfered edge. The head of the bolt is being point loaded, a big no no
Now that's what I call... Under pressure... 🤣
Good stuff, but for proper test you have to torque to specifications with or without lubrication, depending on application, and do multiple tests. Keep up the good work though.
My thoughts are that you want something that's going to be lighter and more flexible. notice how the Chinese ones were twice as heavy. One bolt means little, but when you have 1000s of those on a rocket, that's a huge difference.
Can we just appreciate how strong all the materials are? I mean you can pretty much hang an SUV on one of those bolts and they are not even some big and thick ones.

The beauty of steel and alloy products are their tensile strength. If you could hold onto it, several people could hang from a coke can, though one heavy foot is enough to crush it. Of course, concrete is the opposite, which is why they are a brilliant construction product when combined.
Some values worth taking into account: oxidative stress, heat stress and how both of those affect elastic and plastic deformation. I imagine the space use titanium can handle both values better than the cheap titanium as that is the environment they need to be designed to tolerate. (High G stress and atmospheric friction).

Mother Fucker this was the most unscientific test I have ever seen. The dude didn't match thread pitch or applied torque equally along all tests. Know how a bolt works before testing them.
Would be nice to see a chart comparing strength to weight for all of them. Also, not torqueing them all down identically skews the data.
Not only is weight reduction considered, also the strength characteristics at the extreme temperatures regarding outer space and re-entry. Grade 8.8 bolts become very soft at only 800-900 degrees F., Very brittle below -100 F.

Why are you tightening counter clockwise (1:11 mark)? Are these lefthand threaded bolts/screws?
Early deformation of the cheap titanium bolts shifts the force from shear to more tensile, appearing to make it stronger.
Don't just compare values of force applied on each bolt. They can be of different cross sectional area. The strength value should be in psi (pounds per square inch of cross section area) of shear, tension or compression.

For any shear or tension yield failure tests you need the area of material. force/area gives reliable data
It’s wonderful reading all the comments from smart engineers.
6:31 this is not a proper test for bolt tensile strength. You used a thin section but that is not intended to hold loads for tension. From the video you can see that the threads are sheared. When you have a booted connection in tension, the threads and nut should never fail. Only the bolt shank (grip) should fail. Again, you need to use a proper tension but for this test. In the following segment you realized it and then used a different nut and the test right broke. It needs a bit of explanation to the audience.
So for building better spacecraft's one needs to get the parts from Ali Express. :-) Lessons Learned. Weekend Stuff
A bolt, any bolt, will require much more force to break in double sheer. As some else said it’s the strength and weight of titanium that makes it so desirable in aircraft.
Good test. However the only thing I would change is when testing the tensile strength, I would have used a nut with the same material as the bolt per test. I understand that the stainless steel nut was the constant but I’m sure some numbered would be different if you used the same grade nut per bolt
