True as in general steel has a higher tensile yield strength. That said, the tensile strength of the most common titanium alloy, grade 5, is much higher than that of common mild or stainless steel bolts and so often used where the corrosion resistance and light weight are an advantage. Some grades of Titanium can be four times stronger than Stainless Steel. So without knowing all the details, when I have replaced a release it is titanium.
