Titanium Valve Retainers
These valve retainers are made from 6 Al - 4V Titanium Alloy. This alloy is a alpha-beta
type Titanium base alloy with a 120,000 psi minimum yield strength, the good stuff... They
are turned from solid bar stock on our CNC lathe to a very high quality surface finish. Why
the high quality finish? Because the smoother the surface the less stiction there is and the
reduction of stress risers. All the edges are filleted for this reason as well. What's this mean
in the real world, they are slippery and less likely to crack.
