Twice as strong as their grade 2 predecessor, Titanium Grade 5 hex nuts are also four times stronger than hex nuts made with 316 stainless steel.
This strength, combined with their signature lightweight, stiffness and toughness, means China Aluminum Screws, Inc.’s Titanium Grade 5 hex nuts are well suited for applications including oil and gas, military and sporting goods.
These hex nuts are also resistant to seawater up to 500°F and are shown to last almost two decades in tests of polluted seawater. Additionally, they show no signs of pitting and crevice corrosion even when one mile below the surface. They are also resistant to erosion up to a velocity of 120 feet/second lending them well to the aerospace and aircraft industries.
Titanium Grade 5 hex nuts are resistant to attack by pure hydrocarbons and most chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons provided there is no acid contamination. They are also fully resistant to solutions of chlorides, hypochlorides, chlorates, perchlorates and chlorine dioxide making them ideal for the paper industry.
Titanium Grade 5 is 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium.
