Titanium Handlebar End Plug is a lightweight handlebar end plug component engineered for Handlebar end plug core screw. Forged and CNC machined from Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V, it achieves 40-45% weight savings versus steel while maintaining the fatigue life required for demanding cycling applications. Threaded interfaces are designed to prevent galling in outdoor environments.

Q: How much weight savings does Titanium Handlebar End Plug offer versus steel or aluminum? ▼
Titanium Handlebar End Plug fabricated from Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V provides a 40-45% weight reduction versus 4130 chromoly steel (4.43 vs 7.85 g/cm³) at the same strength. Compared to 6061-T6 aluminum, titanium's 3× higher yield strength (830 vs 275 MPa) allows 50-60% thinner walls, resulting in a net weight comparable to aluminum with 4× better fatigue life — critical for handlebar end plug.
Q: What is the typical lead time for Titanium Handlebar End Plug orders? ▼
Standard lead time for Titanium Handlebar End Plug is 15-25 business days depending on quantity and complexity. Rush orders (3-5 working days) are available for prototype evaluation. Sample evaluation (1-5 units) can be expedited to 5-7 business days. Volume pricing is available for production quantities above 100 units.
Q: What material certifications are provided with Titanium Handlebar End Plug? ▼
Each Titanium Handlebar End Plug shipment includes EN 10204 Type 3.1 mill test certificate with chemical analysis, mechanical properties, and heat identification. Dimensional inspection reports and Certificate of Conformance (CoC) are standard. First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR) per AS9102 are available on request for handlebar end plug.
