Titanium Fasteners

Hex Socket Cylinder Head Titanium Bolt
A titanium bolt with a hex socket (internal drive) and cylindrical head, designed for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and precision. Below is a detailed overview:

1. Key Features

• Material Advantages:

• Titanium Alloy (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V): Comparable strength to steel with 45% lower density; excellent corrosion resistance (especially in chloride environments).

• Biocompatibility: Suitable for medical implants (e.g., orthopedic screws).

• Temperature Resistance: Operates in -250°C to 600°C, but may oxidize at high temperatures.

• Structural Design:

• Hex Socket Drive (ISO 4762 Standard): Requires an Allen key for installation; cylindrical head saves space.

• High Clamping Force: Hex socket design withstands higher torque, reducing stripping risks.

2. Typical Applications

• Aerospace: Weight reduction in aircraft skins, engine components.

• Medical Devices: Surgical tools, implants (non-toxic properties).

• Marine Engineering: Ships, desalination equipment (resists seawater corrosion).

• High-End Manufacturing: Race cars, precision instruments (lightweight + high strength).

3. Selection & Usage Guidelines

• Specifications:

• Sizes: Metric M3-M24, lengths 10-200mm.

• Standards: ASTM F136 (medical grade), AMS 4928 (aerospace), ISO 7380 (hex socket head).

• Surface Treatments:

• Anodizing: Improves wear resistance; color-coding options.

• Dry Film Lubrication: Reduces thread friction (e.g., MoS2 coating).
