Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M5x88mm hex head cap screw is forged from Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), a dual-phase alloy renowned for its high strength, excellent fatigue resistance, and exceptional corrosion resistance in harsh environments. With a nominal diameter of M5 and a length of 88mm, it features a 11mm hex head width for secure torque application. This material composition makes it ideal for applications demanding lightweight, high-performance fastening solutions where traditional steel fasteners fall short, particularly in corrosive or high-stress conditions.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening beyond the specified torque limit.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to the manufacturer's recommended torque values to prevent thread stripping or fastener failure.
Using the incorrect tool size, leading to head damage.Utilize a correctly sized hex socket that fully engages the head to ensure proper torque transfer and prevent cam-out or rounding of the hex.

Common Applications

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