Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the titanium screwAlways use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque specifications to prevent thread stripping or fastener damage.
Using incompatible toolsUtilize tools made of hardened steel or carbide to prevent damage to the hex head during tightening and loosening.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • High-performance automotive engine assemblies
  • Marine hardware and subsea equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium Grade 5 is susceptible to galling. Apply an anti-seize compound to the threads during installation if required by the application.
  • While highly corrosion resistant, avoid prolonged contact with certain strong oxidizing acids or halogens that can degrade titanium.
