Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening with excessive forceAlways use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque specifications for titanium fasteners to prevent thread stripping or component damage.
Using incompatible tooling or improper socket sizeUtilize the correct size hex socket (11mm) to ensure full engagement and prevent cam-out or rounding of the hex head.
Failure to clean mating surfacesThoroughly clean both the screw threads and the internal threads of the mating component to ensure proper engagement and achieve the intended clamping force.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • High-performance marine hardware
  • Critical automotive assemblies
  • Medical implants and equipment
  • Corrosive industrial processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium Grade 5 exhibits galling tendencies; use anti-seize lubricant on threads when mating with other titanium or stainless steel components.
  • Consult material compatibility charts to avoid galvanic corrosion when fastening dissimilar metals.
