Most popular Colors for GR5 titanium bolts

1. Natural Silver (Untreated)

  • Process: No surface treatment; raw titanium finish.
  • Appearance: Metallic gray with slight brushed texture.
  • Durability: Excellent corrosion resistance (inherent to titanium).
  • Use Case: Industrial/functional applications where aesthetics are secondary.

2. Blue (Anodized)

  • ProcessElectrochemical Anodizing – Voltage range: 60-80V, creating a thin oxide layer.
  • Color Range: Sky blue to deep navy (voltage-dependent).
  • Durability: Moderate wear resistance; prone to fading under UV exposure.
  • Pro Tip: Clear-coat sealing can enhance longevity.
  • Popularity: Widely used in bicycles and aerospace for subtle customization.

3. Gold (Anodized or PVD)

  • Process:
    • Anodizing: Achieved at ~90-100V (thicker oxide layer).
    • PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition): Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating for richer, metallic gold.
  • Durability:
    • Anodized gold: Similar to blue, scratches easily.
    • PVD gold: Extremely hard (2000+ HV), scratch-resistant.
  • Use Case: High-end automotive and luxury watches (PVD); bikes/DIY (anodized).

4. Purple (Anodized)

  • Process: Intermediate voltage (70-85V) creates iridescent purple hues.
  • Aesthetic: Shifts between violet and pink under light.
  • Durability: Low scratch resistance; ideal for non-contact areas (e.g., bottle cage bolts).
  • Trend: Popular in custom motorcycle and cycling builds.

5. Black (PVD/DLC or Anodized)

  • Process:
    • PVD/DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon): Jet-black, ultra-hard coating (3000+ HV).
    • Anodized Black: Rare and less durable (requires dye infusion post-anodizing).
  • Durability:
    • PVD/DLC: Extremely wear-resistant, ideal for high-stress parts (brake calipers).
    • Anodized Black: Fades quickly; mainly decorative.
  • Use Case: Stealth builds in automotive racing or tactical equipment.

6. Rainbow (Multi-Color Anodizing)

  • Process: Gradient voltage application (20-110V) creates a spectrum effect.
  • Appearance: Shifts between blue, purple, gold, and green.
  • Durability: Thin oxide layer; strictly decorative (avoid high-contact use).
  • Popularity: Artistic/custom projects (e.g., bespoke bike frames).

7. Green (Anodized)

  • Process: High-voltage anodizing (~100-110V) produces olive or emerald tones.
  • Durability: Similar to blue/purple; limited to low-wear applications.
  • Niche Use: Military or themed builds for camouflage aesthetics.

Color Retention & Maintenance Tips

  1. Avoid Abrasives: Use soft cloths for cleaning; no steel wool.
  2. Chemical Exposure: Keep away from chlorine (pools) and acidic cleaners.
  3. UV Protection: Clear ceramic coatings slow fading for anodized colors.
  4. Thread Care: Apply anti-seize grease to prevent galling during installation.
