Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-torquing the titanium screw, which can lead to thread stripping or fastener failure.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to specified torque values for Grade 5 titanium fasteners.
Using incompatible materials in mating threads, potentially causing galvanic corrosion.Ensure mating components are also made of corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or titanium, or use appropriate isolation methods.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Medical implants and surgical equipment
  • Marine and offshore equipment
