No no no, hell no.
You need to change your rear hinge every year (base on folding twice a day five days a week), so that'll add up for almost nil gain.
And they don't rust, all the rear hinges I replaced is clearly smooth and almost rust free (the worse one was a 10 years old Brompton whose owner doesn't realised it need maintenance).

Is there any benefit besides marginal weight and bling improvements to getting the ti rear pivot hinge axle and bolts? Did I read something about the steel one rusting up?
