Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-torquing titanium fastenersAlways use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to manufacturer-specified torque values to prevent thread stripping or fastener deformation.
Using incompatible lubricantsUtilize lubricants specifically designed for titanium to prevent galling and ensure smooth installation. Avoid standard petroleum-based greases without specific compatibility confirmation.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Marine hardware and rigging
  • Medical implants and instrumentation
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium Grade 5 is susceptible to galling if not properly lubricated during installation.
  • Ensure appropriate torque values are used to prevent fastener damage or failure.
