Titanium Grade 5 Split lock washers
ASME B18.21.1
Titanium Grade 5 split washers need an elastic recovery requirement alongside higher strength than commercially pure titanium at low density. Section shape and final temper control compression behaviour; the assembly’s locking method is a separate design choice.

Heat Treatment
AnnealedAnnealing reduces working stresses and restores ductility, with atmosphere and surface control limiting contamination during heating.
What we can make in Titanium Grade 5
Free state
The open helical shape supplies initial spring travel as a screw or nut is tightened. Free height and section size determine how much travel is available before the washer becomes flat.
Clamped state
Once flattened, little spring travel remains to compensate for settling. For an assembly needing controlled preload travel, compare a disc spring; for a vibration-critical joint, select a locking method validated for that joint.

Manufacturing route
Wire or profiled section is formed into the helical ring; the split, section and free height are controlled before final condition checks.
Heat treatment & final condition
Forming and thermal processing require contamination control. The final surface is cleaned before dimensional and material acceptance.
Working performance
The alloy’s elastic modulus and forming response require a dedicated load–deflection design. A steel spring rating cannot be carried over to the same-size reactive-metal disc or ring.
Where Titanium Grade 5 fits — and what matters
Industrial Machinery & Automation
Machine frames and positioning fixturesTitanium Grade 5 split lock washers fit under a bolt head or nut on machine frames and positioning fixtures when the assembly drawing calls for a helical washer. Compression and recovery belong to the washer specification. Alignment, operating cycles and replacement access define the working interface.
Pumps, Valves & OEM
Actuator mounts and pump baseplatesTitanium Grade 5 split lock washers fit under a bolt head or nut on actuator mounts and pump baseplates when the assembly drawing calls for a helical washer. Compression and recovery belong to the washer specification. Repeated maintenance makes fit, engagement and access part of the component specification.
Automotive & EV Manufacturing Equipment
Assembly fixtures and test-rig framesTitanium Grade 5 split lock washers fit under a bolt head or nut on assembly fixtures and test-rig frames when the assembly drawing calls for a helical washer. Compression and recovery belong to the washer specification. Repeated tooling changes require consistent seating and repeatable assembly dimensions.
Same split lock washer. Different material priorities.
Titanium Grade 5 material dataInconel X-750
Age-hardened strength and a choice of hot-service heat treatments.
- Connection priority
- Elastic recovery after compression
- Spring treatment versus bolting treatment
- X-750 has several heat-treatment routes. The route for retained spring force is selected around relaxation and working stress; a bolting strength requirement calls for its own specified condition. At the split edges and compressed contact faces, the relevant metal temperature can differ from the process or furnace set point.
Inconel 718
Precipitation-hardened strength for compact, highly loaded connections.
- Connection priority
- Elastic recovery after compression
- Strength after aging
- Machine-stock properties and final aged properties describe different states. The final heat-treatment lot and mechanical results establish the strength available in the installed part. At the split edges and compressed contact faces, the relevant metal temperature can differ from the process or furnace set point.
Inconel 625
Solid-solution strength and resistance to aggressive process liquids.
- Connection priority
- Elastic recovery after compression
- Annealed or solution-annealed 625
- The delivery condition affects strength and high-temperature response. Keep the specified condition with the component’s mechanical acceptance; 718-style aging is not the strengthening route for 625. Include liquid retained at the split edges and compressed contact faces in the exposure description.

Questions about Titanium Grade 5 split lock washers
Does corrosion-resistant stock automatically make a spring washer?
The stock needs a condition that provides the required elastic recovery. Record the final temper, compression behaviour and permanent set; a chemistry certificate alone does not describe the spring response.
