Titanium and Steel Bolt Usage

Q: Why isn’t titanium used more often than steel for bolts?
A: Titanium is more costly than most steel so it is used for more niche situations such as saltwater and chloride corrosion, high strength applications that require lightweight bolting and medical applications where you need a bolt that is bio-compatible.
In many other cases steel bolts will work best for the cost. Also, many grades of steel offer higher elasticity.
