TITAN HAND AUGER TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The Titan Hand Auger System is a state-of-the-art, high-performance tool, made of modern aerospace materials. Titanium provides super strength, durability and resistance to corrosion. Handle and Extensions: .051" wall thickness, seamless CWSR 1" OD ASTM Ti Grade 9 Titanium tubing. The Grade 9 alloy consists of Ti-3Al-2.5V. Cold working of the Ti increases the strength (work hardens) the material, producing a minimum UTS of approximately 125 ksi and a minimum Yield Strength is approximately 105 ksi. 2' extensions with quick-release bayonet couplings. 2' lengths are portable and ergonomically designed to place the auger handle at the optimum position for efficient drilling. Custom lengths can be provided on special order. Extensions marked every 6" for ease of use. Toothed cutting rings and helical augers are custom machined of 416 Stainless
steel and heat-treated for maximum hardness. The parts are quenched and
tempered for durability in a vacuum, and achieve a final hardness of approximately
40 - 42 HRC |
Titanium Hand Auger Systems Made in the USA. Titanium's beneficial properties include low modulus of elasticity,
stable and steadfast oxide film (providing high corrosion and erosion
resistance), and high strength to density ratio. The density of Titanium
is approximately 60 percent of steel alloys, with the strength of some
alloys as much as five times greater than steel. |
