Titanium corrosion on fasteners.
I’ve had a box of titanium fasteners sitting in a cardboard box for about a year. I bought them to use on an atv. When I get a spare bolt today from the box I noticed a few of the bolts and nuts had turned a dull gray almost like they had been sandblasted. And some looked like they have actually corroded.
Box has been in my garage and not exposed to water. Any ideas what is going on? There is a few aluminum nuts in the box as well could that be the problem?
