Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this M16 x 13mm hex head cap screw features a nominal diameter of M16, an overall length of 13mm, and a head width of 12mm. Composed of Titanium Grade 5 alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), it exhibits exceptional tensile strength (up to 130,000 psi), high fatigue resistance, and superior corrosion immunity in aggressive media, including saltwater and chlorides. Its low density (approximately 4.43 g/cm³) makes it ideal for weight-sensitive applications where performance cannot be compromised. Standard thread pitch applies.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Cross-threading the fastener by forcing it into the receiving threads.Always start by hand-threading the screw to ensure it engages correctly before applying torque.
Using excessive torque, which can strip threads or damage the fastener.Consult torque specifications for Titanium Grade 5 fasteners for the specific application and use a calibrated torque wrench.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Marine hardware and subsea equipment
  • Medical implants and surgical instruments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium can gall under high pressure and low speed. Consider anti-seize compounds for critical applications.
  • Verify material compatibility with the mating material and environment to prevent galvanic corrosion.
