Explore our precision CNC-machined Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) and Grade 2 titanium screws, nuts, and studs available in rich decorative and wear-resistant PVD gold, rainbow, and ultra-durable anodized finishes.
Akureyri, as the undisputed capital of North Iceland and a gateway to the Arctic Circle, presents one of the most uniquely demanding metallurgical operating environments on Earth.
Marine fabrication and seafood vessel overhauls conducted along the deep waters of Eyjafjörður subject structural hardware to continuous exposure to cold, hypersaline spray, seawater wash-downs, and relentless thermal cyclings between freezing sea surface temperatures and winter winds.
Traditional zinc-plated carbon steel screws succumb quickly to zinc depletion, while 304 and 316 stainless steels frequently experience devastating chloride-induced pitting, intergranular attack, and crevice corrosion underneath bolt heads and unbonded gasket unions.
Our Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) and Grade 2 titanium fasteners naturally generate an instantaneous, self-healing rutile/anatase titanium dioxide (TiO₂) passive barrier. In sub-polar marine water, our titanium hardware exhibits essentially zero degradation (0.00 mm penetration per century).
North Iceland’s extensive geothermal heating infrastructure, district utility networks (such as Norðurorka), and auxiliary processing installations operate with fluid mixtures bearing dissolved hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), trace sulfur dioxides, silicates, and sodium chlorides at elevated temperatures.
Under these conditions, high-tensile steels suffer catastrophic sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and hydrogen embrittlement. Gr5 titanium provides immunity against sulfide-induced intergranular failures, allowing valve manifolds, monitoring sensor mounts, and heat exchangers to maintain mechanical integrity without costly downtime.
Our gold PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating further deposits an ultra-dense, ceramic-like Titanium Nitride (TiN) layer. This provides exceptional surface hardness (exceeding 2200 HV) that resists mineral slurry abrasion, scale deposits, and aggressive cleaning regimens.
Akureyri is the epicenter of Iceland’s high-latitude automotive engineering, super-jeep retrofitting, arctic expedition fleets, and intense snowmobiling culture across the highland plateau of Tröllaskagi.
Vehicle modifications operating on ice sheets, rugged volcanic basalt tracks, and deeply rutted snow demand high strength-to-weight ratios. Every gram shaved off rotational mass and unsprung suspension assemblies substantially improves damper efficiency, steering precision, and fuel conservation over harsh terrains.
Replacing standard Grade 10.9 structural steel hub studs, brake rotor hardware, and suspension links with Wexra Gr5 titanium bolts yields an immediate 44% reduction in fastener weight with zero risk of low-temperature ductile-to-brittle transition failures that plague standard alloy steels at -30°C.
Procurement teams in Akureyri frequently weigh between electrolytic gold anodization and vacuum PVD TiN gold deposition. Understanding the exact mechanical boundaries of each surface modification is vital for lifecycle predictability.
Anodized gold produces brilliant visual aesthetics via precise optical interference within an electrolytically thickened TiO₂ surface film (30–80 nm). Because it adds no physical dimensional thickness, it maintains microscopic thread tolerances on high-precision fasteners such as stem screws, cycle stems, and camera rigs.
PVD gold, conversely, deposits an actual molecular layer of Titanium Nitride (0.5 to 2.5 microns). This creates a rock-solid, golden-hued shell that reduces the coefficient of friction against tapped aluminum or steel, virtually eliminating galling and thread cold-welding during sub-zero field maintenance.
Akureyri is observing rapid capital diversification. Sustainable land-based smolt hatcheries, open-water aquaculture pens in the fjords, and sub-polar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) testing represent the emerging frontiers of Northern Iceland’s technology ecosystem.
Subsea monitoring drones and autonomous oceanographic platforms deployed in the Greenland Sea require non-magnetic hardware that causes zero interference with sensitive magnetometer telemetry and high-precision sonar positioning instruments.
Commercially pure Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium bolts are completely non-magnetic (magnetic permeability μr ≈ 1.00005), ensuring unperturbed instrumentation operation, extreme biosecurity in fish cultivation tanks, and limitless operational lifespans in subsea habitats.

Operating from Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China, Jiaxing Wexra Titanium Products Co., Ltd. has specialized exclusively in premium titanium alloy design, CNC machining, and surface engineering since 2018.
Unlike secondary traders who machine bolt threads by cutting (which severs internal grain fibers), our specialized production line features high-speed automated CNC lathes, multi-axis milling centers, and heavy-tonnage hydraulic thread-rolling dies. Thread rolling continuously compresses grain flow along the root and crest of every screw, boosting fatigue life under dynamic cyclical shock by over 300%.
Every single titanium rod and billet entering our plant is audited via optical emission spectrometers to guarantee zero interstitial oxygen, carbon, or hydrogen contamination. We provide comprehensive EN 10204 Type 3.1 Mill Test Certificates (MTC), RoHS, REACH chemical safety compliance, and ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management systems with every Icelandic export shipment.
Our dedicated surface finishing line is equipped with vacuum-arc physical vapor deposition (PVD) chambers and computer-controlled electrolytic anodizing racks. Whether your requirement calls for striking luxury champagne gold, burnished deep gold, rainbow oil-slick, electro-blue, or raw satin sandblasting, we guarantee complete batch-to-batch color repeatability with zero peeling or flaking.
Whether you require a batch of 50 customized M14x1.5 double-ended exhaust studs for an Akureyri super-truck shop or 50,000 pieces of DIN 6921 hex flange M6 bolts for OEM equipment assembly, Wexra bridges prototyping with commercial mass manufacturing. We can directly interpret your 2D CAD prints, 3D STEP files, or reverse-engineer from sent physical samples within 48 hours.
With an export ratio exceeding 91% to top-tier industrial markets including Germany, the UK, the United States, and Canada, our export documentation and cold-chain/air logistics are streamlined. We provide door-to-door express air delivery straight to Akureyri Airport (AEY) or consolidated maritime container routing through the Port of Akureyri, packaged in shockproof, vacuum-sealed packaging.
Get immediate engineering clarity on thread galling, salt exposure, custom drafting, and international delivery timelines.
Titanium alloys possess a high friction coefficient against like metals. When driving titanium bolts into tapped titanium or stainless housings, cold-welding (galling) can happen if dry. We recommend applying a premium copper-based or nickel-based anti-seize paste, or choosing our PVD gold-coated bolts which integrate a lubricious TiN barrier that naturally reduces thread drag and eliminates galling.
Yes. Unlike electroplated brass or fake lacquer coatings that pit and tarnish when exposed to magnesium chloride road de-icers and coastal spray, our Gold PVD treatment creates a true ceramic Titanium Nitride inter-diffusion layer. It is unaffected by salt spray, high-pressure hot washes, and temperatures from -50°C up to +500°C without discoloring or flaking.
Absolutely. While metric coarse (DIN 912, DIN 6921, ISO 7380) represents our everyday run, our CNC machinery regularly produces metric fine threads (e.g., M10x1.0, M12x1.25) and imperial specifications (UNC, UNF, UNEF) with rolled root profiles built precisely to your equipment drawings or CAD models.
For stocked fasteners and standard metric screws, orders are dispatched within 48 to 72 hours via DHL/FedEx Express, arriving in Iceland within 5 to 8 business days. For customized CNC fabrications, sample prototypes take 7–12 days and volume production takes 20–25 days. We supply all customs invoices, Harmonized Tariff Codes, and origin documentation for seamless customs clearance.
Whether you require standard DIN/ISO inventory, customized architectural fasteners, or high-shear marine-grade studs for projects in Akureyri and throughout Northern Iceland, our metallurgical engineers are on standby to review your specs.
