That seems kinda sketch to me.
I don't like after treating. It makes the bolt stronger but more brittle. How are they testing the strength? Grade 5 is 81KSI and they're treating them to 140? I would rather have Grade 7 Ti-0.2Pb or Grade 12 Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni over heat treated Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V.
10.9 and 12.9 are metric classes. I dunno if this is a typo or they are using standard grade and metric classes interchangeably.
I hate breaking bolts.
