Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the fastener.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to the specified torque values to prevent thread stripping or material fatigue.
Using a lubricant not compatible with titanium.Consult material compatibility charts to ensure the chosen lubricant does not react with titanium, which could lead to galling or corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Medical implants and surgical instruments
  • Marine hardware and offshore equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium Grade 5 exhibits work hardening; avoid excessive re-tightening after initial installation.
  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in aggressive environments.
