      As a mechanic there was a material flaw in manufacturing with that bolt. If you look at the image of the bolt as a still you will notice a spherical deformation toward the center of the bolt. If not dirt and video optical illusion it is either a bubble or slag / weld type bb. It happens from time to time. Otherwise the look from a step sheer you get when you have threads is normal. If it is not normal the uniformity of the color will let you know. I do wonder if that bolt could be hardened better like half or quarter depth surface hardening. But, that's where an engineer is needed. Never got that deep into it.

      Problem with titanium is every scratch becomes a weak point. If you look at how jet engine blades fail they scratch and that will just continue to grow. They have to polish out the cracks if they see them. Obviously these are different applications, but same material deficiencies. These bolts will obviously be scratched by the rocks.

    I am exclusively using wedgebolts in underground mining and we rarely use them more than once. Besides chemical substances inducing rapid metal decay, there are bacillus (EDIT: e.g, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ; Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans etc) underground depending on the mineralisation that are able to break down pretty much any non-precious metal in unpredictable ways. If a wedgebolt is in there for more than 2 months (especially in close proximity to hydrothermal sulfide formations) i personally do not trust them anymore and usually drill new holes use new bolts new hangers and destroy the old ones to make sure nobody else uses them. At one occasion, put in some V4A stainless 24mm survey bolts and some of them turned into briddle black crumbs after just 2 years due to agressive waters and bacteria. EDIT: The presence of iron pyrite is usually an indicator that both aluminium and stainless steel are likely to corrode there.

      ​@@REMIREZZ If you are curious about the bacteria you could read about bioleeching which uses these bacteria (e.g, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ; Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans) for several technical applications. If you went caving you might have seen them already, they sometimes form snot pools. Our university ran some experiments with those naturally occuring bacillus for leeching ore and the bacteria even ate holes into brass fittings and even leeched small amounts of the molybdenium from high grade stainless steel (i am no material expert but these alloys are often used in climbing gear so that was one reason for me to be a bit more careful than required with gear for underground use). Aluminium seems to suffer most when iron pyrite (FeS) is present, on one hand the electochemical potential gap between Fe and Al is quite large and when the pyrite decays sulfuric acid forms which also does help the corrosion process. The corrosion you see in mines with iron pyrite or markasite present is absolutely wild and very unpredictable. I have found carabiners that were way more corroded than the ones in the video which again, made me extra careful.

      To be fair V4A is still a pretty corrosion susceptible metal. For every day use it’s excellent , but especially for aggressive environments, like marine ones or petrochem there are different steel alloys that can be used. For these there aren’t any official classification systems (like V4A) and one actually has to look at specific alloy numbers/codes, but there are very corrosion resistant steel alloys, and they aren’t even that much more expensive compared to V4A, though they usually come with major downsides, such as being very difficult to machine or having worse tensile properties etc. As said these are used in large scale petrochemical industry or marine applications where frequent replacement is undesirable, due to causing excessive down time. With many of these facilities loosing 100K - 1M $ per hour of down time. So as always it’s a cost benefit analysis.

    These are my thoughts as somebody that works with titanium from the manufacturing & assembly side and not as a materials engineer. Titanium parts will typically come with much more specific instructions for thread forms, assembly specifications and anti-seize compounds used where parts need to be threaded, pivot in an assembly or need to be disassembled for service. You should see who you can get in contact with a materials/structures engineer that is familiar with titanium. If you're still in the PNW there is a good chance that a friend of a friend knows an aerospace engineer.
    Titanium has some odd material properties when you start to get into assemblies and threads, odd being compared to the same parts made out of steel.
    Threads and threaded assemblies with Ti on Ti can be susceptible to a few failure modes and issues not common in steel. The form of the root of the thread can become a stress concentration area if it is cut with a sharp pointed tool. This might be why the bolt broke at the threads and not in an are of the bolt with a smaller diameter.
    Threads with Ti on Ti are also susceptible to galling, if it is installed once and never touched and never needs to be tightened this would not be a problem, if the nut does ever start to loosen over time and needs to be tightened over and over again it could either gall in place or with a spinning hanger on it. Threads are basically spiral wedges so the same problem can happen at the wedge end of the bolt as well. The wedge could lock to the collar before it has fully expanded.
    For these issues some steps can be taken during installation such as using an anti-seize or lubricant on the wedge end but it just makes it more complicated.
    Titanium fasteners are eruptible to room temperature creep when under load if they are over torqued or under a constant load (highline anchors)
    That being said, a titanium wedge bolt can be a good thing and a useful tool for development, but it can also have quite a few inherent failure modes designed into it if not careful.
    Bending, twisting or welding titanium rod to make a glue in doesn't really have any of these issues and the community should probably just stick with those for now.

      This. Special form of thread cutting used in titatinum.

    • @richardlumley2581
      @richardlumley2581 5 місяців тому +5

      These do look to be a cut thread, and as they said 12mm not 1/2" it should have a root radius if cut with full form inserts.
      I think a rolled thread would be better depending on the grade and hardness of the titanium.
      From the failure mode of the bolts they seam to either be on the brittle side or the core of the threads are creating stress risers, I would have expected more elongation before failure.

    • @Kenionatus
      @Kenionatus 5 місяців тому +4

      TBF, thread roots being concentration points for stress is a known issue for steel (and pretty much every metal afaik) as well. Getting more specific instructions for titanium parts might be selection bias, since the people who care enough about performance characteristics to order a part in titanium probably more often than the average person also want to increase that performance via well defined features.

    • @alexnone5720
      @alexnone5720 5 місяців тому +7

      @@Kenionatus Stress concentration points do exist in all materials but titanium is more sensitive to them than steels. Titanium is also weaker (UTS, yield and modulus) than stainless steel so it is also more important for this application. The 1/2 inch stainless bolts that Ryan tested a while back were breaking hangers around 40KN for reference while these were breaking much closer to a 3/8" 5 piece bolt.
      If aerospace companies could get away with specifying a simple thread on their parts then they would haven't spent so much time and money to study failures and iterate on thread forms.

  • @BMXaster
    @BMXaster 5 місяців тому +19

    Titanium has a much smaller range of deformation and is more brittle than stainless, that's the short answer why they broke lower in soft rock. So if they are just loaded without little to no movement, they hold up just fine but if they also have to bend around stuff while being loaded, they fail sooner.
    So as you said, do NOT use in soft rock.

With all the the information available, accessible and now a convenient store to purchase quality bolts from, I'd hope to see only the best of the best bolts put up from now on. As we've seen, there's not a "one size fits all" solution but maybe those are all points that will be tied in with the new proposed legislation regarding bolts. With any luck there are only a few "necessary evil" hoops to jump through, minimal red tape and it ensures: placing stronger bolts designed to last a longer time, bolt selection based off which product is best for each application, better bolt placement amongst the rock and an overall, safer, more cost effective and less environmentally impactful experience.

    Ryan/Bobby. I have a thought/idea. When testing hangers, it really seems the size of the "object" that gets connected to the hanger makes a difference on how/when the hanger will break or shear. What would be an interesting test is that if you could make a jig for a specific hanger so that the bolt size and quality is not a factor, then use different diameter objects on the hanger to see what difference diameters make as the force applied across the hanger changes from a small diameter to a large diameter. Sorry if this is a bit jumbled but sometimes my fingers can't keep up with my brain when typing lol. Anyway, it seems you have all of the hardware there to quantify varying diameters of objects and their affects on breaking strength on hangers. To put all of this in perspective, I am not a climber or a slack liner, but I find the testing that you both do fascinating. Keep up the great work and try not to move your patio concrete pad......

People should NOT mix steel with Ti (aor anything else with Ti). In the very short term, like making a video, there is not a problem. But mixing those two metals over a period of time will break down the steal. Never mix Ti and steel.

    Titanium bolting is rarely a great solution in any environment. The reason is that Titanium readily galls or cold welds which makes the sliding of one threaded component over another difficult. The same problem inevitable occurs with expansion devices. (A typical industrial Titanium galling failure was the Cougar 91 accident in 2009 when 17 people died in an S-92 helicopter out of St Johns after Titanium bolting of a gearbox oil filter cap failed due to galling.)
    Stainless steel exhibits similar properties but generally to a lesser extent. Both materials work better with lubricants applied that assist sliding but the lubricant can cause other problems. Solid lubricant (like talc) can sometimes be a solution but their containment or adhesion can be more of a problem than for liquids.
    With these metals, you can never make this problem go away completely.
    There are other exotics with similar or better corrosion resistance but even more expensive, like Monel. However, Aluminium Bronze has strength similar to steel but with good galling resistance and good corrosion resistance. It is a popular engineering solution in maritime environments. I am not aware of any attempt to use it for climbing gear.

    If the fasteners need to be stronger and removable. Might require an expanding sleeve and inner bolt. The inner bolt with a taper can be removed to allow the entire fastener to be removed easily. The end of the inner bolt would be tapered and threaded . Perhaps in an acme thread as would the internal bore deepin the sleeve. This would allow the removal or loosening of the inner bolt to allow the sleeve to be easily removed from the rock. Any thing to attach is on the outside of the sleeve with a nut and washer. That could also allow various thicknesses of spacers to be used to easily pull the sleeve from the rockface. Leaving a hole in the rock. And yes. I do see issues and can come up with solutions. This prevents long term corrosion issues.
    I would think coring drills would be used so you could snap off the remaining piece to examine it for cracks that could cause a slab failure is possible.
    Filling the openings could be done with rock colored plastic sleeves with a tapered stronger plastic pin hammered in to fit it tight to the hole. Various colors could be produced to kinda match rock color variations if you cannot leave the hole open.

    Something that I'm interested about here is bolt preload on those wedges. We see the anchor getting pulled out, but it possible to preload the nut/bolt interface to 70% of the pullout strength (or above the cycle test force) to prevent this nut coming out? Or is preload a moving average with different rock type and it's impossible to know how hard to torque?

    • @BoltahDownunder
      @BoltahDownunder 5 місяців тому +1

      Typical wedge bolts do have a torque spec you're supposed to apply, so the preload should be estimable ( Estimatable?)
      In case of too-soft rock they just keep pulling out and you can end up never achieving torque spec

    Maybe try drilling the holes perpendicular to the rock face?
    Wrongly angled holes could mean the tightening torque will add bending stress and deform the bolt even before any load is added to the anchor.
    Angled holes/bolts will massively increase the chance of bolt failure and the likelihood of it coming loose.

    Install a new rock anchor into a new concrete block in accordance with 5.3.2.1. Attach
    the concrete block to the tensile testing machine using a support, and a clamp at a distance
    a ≥ installed length l + 5 % away from the axis of the rock anchor (see Figure 4). Apply a radial load to
    the rock anchor using a pin with a diameter of (10 ± 0,1) mm in the eye at a rate of (35 ± 15) mm/min,
    increasing the load to (8 ± 0,25) kN then reducing the load to less than 0,5 kN. Apply this loading a total
    9
    BS EN 959:2018
    EN 959:2018 (E)
    of ten times within 10 min. Again apply a load, increasing it until failure or until the rock anchor is pulled
    out of the concrete block.

    Little hint with EN standards. With how things used to work before Brexit, here in the UK we would just adopt EN standards but appended with BS (for British Standard).
    So our equivalent should be BS EN 939. Quick search shows a lot of pay walls. However might give you other places to look.

    i prefer drop test cause you can't gradually fall at a slow rate, when you fall u instantly accelerated at 9.81m/s average, But increasing load or sudden impact load make material behave completely different, case and point diamond it can withstand so much pressure aka gradual load but with a hammer it hard but significantly easier to break, the extreme opposite is non Newtonian fluid like kinetic sand, or thing like 3DO use in motorcycle armor, the area of contact also mater the more you spread the load a cross the material the more energy can be defuse like a thicker but less durable cable vs a smaller diameter but stronger cable which can bite into the steal easier and make it fail earlier than expected, for climbing equipment i prefer to know the impact strength per area because it properly a few time more then what come after in which case t you dangling after the fall (pressure strength).

    Expansion anchors/wedge bolts do not perform very well when loaded to pull out as they are very reliant on the strength of the substrate they are put into. These types of anchors should only be loaded in shear, that perpendicular to the axis of the bolt.
