View Details10mm Titanium Rod
A versatile mid-diameter titanium rod, balancing strength and workability, commonly used for shafts, structural pins, and as stock for machined fasteners.
Product Overview
Bokang's 10mm Titanium Rod is manufactured using advanced vacuum arc remelting technology, ensuring exceptional purity and consistent mechanical properties.
The 10mm titanium rod is a highly practical and commonly stocked size that serves as a workhorse diameter in many engineering and fabrication contexts. It provides a substantial cross-sectional area capable of transmitting meaningful torque and resisting bending loads, while still being manageable to cut, machine, and form with standard workshop tools. This diameter is frequently used for applications such as axle shafts in machinery, sturdy pins and dowels, raw material for machining custom bolts and fittings, and as structural members in lightweight frames.
It is readily available in all major titanium grades, from the easily formable Grade 2 to the high-strength Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5). The 10mm rod can be supplied in various conditions: hot-rolled for economical rough stock, cold-drawn for improved dimensional accuracy and surface finish, or centerless ground for precision applications. Its popularity stems from its adaptability; it is large enough for strength yet small enough to be cost-effective in terms of both material purchase and subsequent machining time.

Key Advantages of Bokang 10mm Titanium Rod
Discover why our titanium wire stands out in the industry
Optimal Strength-to-Processability Ratio
Offers a favorable balance: strong enough for many mechanical applications yet still easily cut, turned, and drilled with standard equipment.
Excellent Bending & Forming Capability (CP Grades)
At 10mm, Grade 2 titanium can be cold-bent with proper tooling, making it suitable for creating hooks, brackets, and curved supports.
Ideal for Screw Machine and Lathe Work
A standard and efficient size for Swiss-type and CNC lathes, allowing for high-volume production of small, precision turned parts from bar stock.

Material Selection Guide
How to choose the right titanium wire for your application
1
Analyze the Primary Loading Mode
For primarily tensile or shear loads (pins, bolts), the full cross-sectional area contributes. For bending loads (axles), the moment of inertia (∝ diameter^4) is key—10mm provides a significant step up in stiffness over 6mm or 8mm rods.
2
Select Grade Based on Corrosion and Strength
For general corrosion resistance and good strength, Grade 2 is standard. For maximum strength in a 10mm size or for repeated bending fatigue applications, choose Grade 5 or Grade 9.
3
Specify Tolerances for Fit and Function
For a sliding fit in a bearing or bushing, specify cold-drawn or ground rod with a h9 or h11 tolerance. For a part that will be entirely machined, standard hot-rolled tolerance is sufficient.
4
Consider Threading Requirements
10mm is a standard thread size (M10). If the rod will be threaded, ensure the grade has adequate ductility (Grade 2, annealed Grade 5) to prevent cracking during threading operations.
Production Process & Quality Control
Our rigorous manufacturing process ensures consistent quality
Hot Rolling to Oversize Diameter
Titanium is hot-rolled to a diameter slightly larger than 10mm (e.g., 11-12mm) to allow for scale formation and subsequent removal.
→
Descaling via Pickling
The hot-rolled rod is immersed in a hydrofluic-nitric acid bath to completely remove the surface oxide scale, revealing clean metal.
→
Cold Drawing to Final Size
The pickled rod is drawn through a tungsten carbide die with a 10mm aperture. This process reduces the diameter, improves surface finish, increases strength via cold work, and tightens tolerances.
→
Stress Relieving or Annealing
After cold drawing, the rod may be given a low-temperature stress relief or a full anneal, depending on the desired final mechanical properties and to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
→
Straightening and Cutting
The long, continuous rod is straightened using rotary straighteners and then cut to specified commercial lengths (e.g., 3m, 4m).
→
Final Inspection and Bundling
Diameter is verified along the length, surface is inspected for defects, and rods are bundled, tagged with material grade and heat number, and prepared for shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pure titanium wire
Yes, a 10mm Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) titanium rod is more than strong enough for most bicycle axles (front/rear thru-axles or quick-release skewers). Its tensile strength (~900 MPa) far exceeds the yield strength of a standard steel axle. The key advantage is weight savings. However, design must consider fatigue from cyclic loading and ensure proper thread engagement if used as a threaded axle.
Weight can be calculated: Cross-sectional Area = π*(5mm)^2 = 78.54 mm² = 0.00007854 m². Volume per meter = 0.00007854 m³. Using density of Grade 2 (4.51 g/cm³ = 4510 kg/m³), Weight = 0.00007854 m³ * 4510 kg/m³ = 0.354 kg/m. For Grade 5 (density ~4.43 g/cm³), it's about 0.348 kg/m. So, approximately 350 grams per meter.
Yes, it's a popular DIY project. You'll need a DC power supply, electrolyte (like TSP or borax solution), titanium wire for the cathode, and the 10mm rod as the anode. The process involves cleaning the rod, immersing it in the electrolyte, and applying voltage (typically 20-100V). The color depends on voltage (and oxide layer thickness). Ensure the rod is CP titanium (Grade 1/2) for best, most consistent colors.
For a sliding fit, you would drill an undersized hole and then ream it to the exact size. For a 10mm h9 tolerance rod (max dia ~10.036mm), a 10.0mm or 10.1mm drilled hole might be appropriate before reaming. For a press fit, the hole would be smaller (e.g., 9.8-9.9mm). Always consult engineering tolerance charts (Hole Basis system) for the specific type of fit required.
By weight, titanium rod (Grade 2 or 5) is typically 3 to 8 times more expensive than 304 or 316 stainless steel rod. However, because titanium is about half as dense, a 10mm titanium rod of the same length contains roughly half the mass. Therefore, on a per-piece basis (for a given length), the titanium rod might be 1.5 to 4 times the cost of a stainless steel rod, not 3-8 times.
