Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M17x136mm Hex Head Cap Screw features a nominal diameter of 17mm and a total length of 136mm. Constructed from Aluminum Alloy 6061-T6, it exhibits excellent tensile strength (minimum 345 MPa) and yield strength (minimum 310 MPa), coupled with exceptional corrosion resistance due to its inherent passivation layer and alloying elements like magnesium and silicon. The hex head provides a secure grip for torque application, with an approximate head width of 10mm for standard tooling. This combination of material properties and precise dimensions makes it suitable for applications in aerospace, marine, and automotive industries where weight reduction and environmental resilience are paramount, ensuring structural integrity under moderate loads.

Installation Procedure

1. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris. Verify thread pitch and diameter compatibility. 2. Apply a suitable lubricant or anti-seize compound to the threads, especially in corrosive environments, to prevent galling and facilitate proper torque. 3. Tighten the screw to the recommended torque specification for Aluminum 6061 fasteners, using a calibrated torque wrench to avoid over-tightening or under-tightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive torque, leading to thread stripping or material deformation.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and consult engineering specifications for the correct torque value for Aluminum 6061 fasteners.
Improper thread engagement, resulting in weak fastening or fastener failure.Ensure the screw is started by hand to confirm proper thread alignment before applying any tools for tightening.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Marine equipment and fittings
  • Automotive chassis and interior assemblies
  • Lightweight equipment frames

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 has lower tensile and shear strength compared to steel fasteners; select appropriate sizes and torque values based on application load requirements.
  • Avoid using in environments with significant galvanic corrosion potential when in direct contact with dissimilar metals without proper isolation.
