Titanium Grade 5 Thin hex nuts

ISO 4035ASTM B348

Limited axial space is the reason to use a Titanium Grade 5 thin nut. Its higher strength than commercially pure titanium at low density must be paired with the reduced thread engagement and the intended locking arrangement.

Annealed

Annealing reduces working stresses and restores ductility, with atmosphere and surface control limiting contamination during heating.

What we can make in Titanium Grade 5

Reduced height hex nut

Reduced-height body

Use in compact adjustment mechanisms and panel assemblies where axial clearance rules out a full-height nut. Check the required proof load against the reduced engagement rather than selecting on clearance alone.

Jam-nut arrangement

Use with a second nut to lock an adjustment on a threaded shaft or linkage. The specified nut order and tightening sequence are part of the locking arrangement, not simply two nuts tightened independently.

Manufacturing route

Small lots use machined blanks. Volume nut blanks use a forming route compatible with the alloy before machining the bore and tapping.

Heat treatment & final condition

Forming and thermal processing require contamination control. The final surface is cleaned before dimensional and material acceptance.

Finished geometry

Internal thread gauging, usable engagement and bearing-face alignment are checked after final processing.

Where Titanium Grade 5 fits — and what matters

Industrial Machinery & Automation

Drive shafts, collars and guide pins

Titanium Grade 5 thin hex nuts serve as jam or retaining nuts on drive shafts, collars and guide pins where axial space is limited. Their reduced thread engagement is part of the retention design. Alignment, operating cycles and replacement access define the working interface.

Pumps, Valves & OEM

Valve stems and pump-drive collars

Titanium Grade 5 thin hex nuts serve as jam or retaining nuts on valve stems and pump-drive collars where axial space is limited. Their reduced thread engagement is part of the retention design. Repeated maintenance makes fit, engagement and access part of the component specification.

Fixture pins and positioning shafts

Titanium Grade 5 thin hex nuts serve as jam or retaining nuts on fixture pins and positioning shafts where axial space is limited. Their reduced thread engagement is part of the retention design. Repeated tooling changes require consistent seating and repeatable assembly dimensions.

Titanium Grade 2

Low mass, corrosion resistance and commercially pure titanium formability.

Connection priority
Thread load in a reduced-height body
Commercially pure titanium
Grade 2 favours corrosion resistance and forming characteristics over the higher strength of Grade 5. Mating-metal contact, surface condition and assembly friction remain part of the connection design. Include liquid retained at the short internal engagement and paired-nut faces in the exposure description.

Precipitation-hardened strength for compact, highly loaded connections.

Connection priority
Thread load in a reduced-height body
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 short internal engagement and paired-nut faces, the relevant metal temperature can differ from the process or furnace set point.

Questions about Titanium Grade 5 thin hex nuts

Can a thin nut replace a regular nut at the same load?

Reduced thread engagement changes stripping capacity. Check the reduced-height nut’s material condition and the intended jam-nut arrangement instead of transferring the regular nut’s load assumption.
