Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this Hex Head Cap Screw utilizes Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy, renowned for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio (approximately 60% of steel with half the weight) and superior resistance to corrosion in aggressive environments. The M17 nominal diameter, combined with a 12mm length and a measured head width of 8mm, ensures compatibility with standard tooling and mating components. This material's excellent fatigue strength and biocompatibility make it ideal for aerospace, medical, and high-performance automotive applications where reliability and longevity are paramount. The hex drive allows for high torque application without cam-out.
