Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M21 x 124mm hex head cap screw is crafted from aerospace-grade Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V). This alloy provides an excellent balance of high strength (tensile strength typically 950 MPa or higher) and low density (approx. 4.43 g/cm³), making it significantly lighter than steel fasteners while offering superior corrosion resistance in aggressive media such as saltwater and chemicals. The M21 thread ensures robust load-bearing capacity, and the 124mm length offers significant engagement. The 23mm head width facilitates secure torque application with standard tools, minimizing the risk of head stripping. Ideal for applications where weight reduction, extreme durability, and resistance to fatigue are paramount.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-torquing the titanium screwAlways use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to the recommended torque specifications for Titanium Grade 5 fasteners to prevent thread stripping or fastener failure.
Using incompatible tools or materialsEnsure that any tools used (wrenches, sockets) are of appropriate size and material to avoid damaging the screw head. Avoid contact with dissimilar metals that could cause galvanic corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Marine and offshore equipment
  • High-performance automotive and racing
  • Medical implants and surgical instruments
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium Grade 5 can gall if not properly lubricated or torqued. Use an anti-seize compound suitable for titanium when installing.
  • Avoid exposing titanium fasteners to high temperatures in oxygen-rich environments as this can lead to embrittlement.
