Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw, leading to thread stripping or fastener fracture.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for the specific application and mating materials.
Using standard steel tools which can damage the titanium head.Employ high-quality tools, preferably those designed for working with titanium, to prevent galling and damage to the hex head.
Failing to use anti-seize on titanium fasteners, increasing the risk of galling.Apply a small amount of aerospace-grade anti-seize compound specifically formulated for titanium to the threads before installation.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Medical implants and equipment
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • High-performance automotive assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium Grade 5 is susceptible to galling; always use appropriate lubrication (anti-seize) and avoid cross-threading.
  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
