I'm sure I've had fairly cheap quill stems in the past with an alloy expander wedge so they're not unknown. I don't know if I'd want to put my faith in an alloy bolt for the expander though - Ti might be a better bet there.

Cinelli 1R stem came with alloy expander bolt as standard. Sure they're fine, I've certainly never heard any horror stories...

I suppose if armed with a torque wrench and not doing anything silly, you'd be fine as regards the installation.
