Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M12x124mm Hex Head Cap Screw utilizes Titanium Grade 5 alloy, renowned for its superior strength-to-weight ratio (approximately 45% lighter than steel with comparable strength) and excellent corrosion resistance against chlorides and saline environments. The M12 thread provides substantial load-bearing capacity, while the 124mm length ensures adequate grip and engagement in thicker materials. The 8mm head width, when engaged with a standard M12 hex socket, allows for efficient torque application. This combination makes it ideal for applications requiring high performance and longevity where weight and material degradation are significant concerns.
