Titanium Nut Manufacturer & Supplier in China – Grade 5 Titanium Hex Nuts
Titanium nuts are widely used in aerospace, marine engineering, chemical processing, racing motorcycles, bicycles, medical equipment, and high-performance industrial fastening systems because they combine lightweight performance with excellent corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. Compared with conventional stainless steel nuts, titanium nuts provide a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio, superior resistance to seawater and chloride corrosion, and outstanding long-term durability in aggressive environments.
At TSM Technology, we manufacture and supply a complete range of titanium nuts including titanium hex nuts, titanium flange nuts, titanium lock nuts, titanium nylon insert nuts, titanium cap nuts, titanium castle nuts, and custom titanium fastening components according to DIN, ISO, ASTM, and JIS standards. Our titanium nuts are available in commercially pure titanium and titanium alloy grades, including Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Grade 7, and Grade 23, for various industrial applications.
What Are Titanium Nuts?
Titanium nuts are internally threaded fastening components manufactured from titanium or titanium alloy materials. These nuts are designed to work together with titanium bolts, titanium threaded rods, and titanium studs to create lightweight and corrosion-resistant fastening systems.
Titanium nuts are particularly suitable for environments where stainless steel fasteners may suffer from rust, pitting corrosion, or galvanic corrosion. Due to titanium's natural oxide film, titanium fasteners maintain excellent resistance against seawater, chloride ions, oxidizing acids, and industrial chemicals.
Grade 2 titanium nuts are commonly used in marine engineering and chemical equipment because of their superior corrosion resistance and excellent ductility. Grade 5 titanium nuts offer much higher mechanical strength and are widely used in aerospace structures, racing motorcycles, bicycles, and high-load industrial applications where lightweight fastening systems are required.
Compared with carbon steel fasteners, titanium nuts can reduce fastening system weight by approximately 40–45% while maintaining excellent mechanical performance and fatigue resistance. (tsmfasteners.com)

Chemical Composition of Grade 5 Titanium Nuts
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | 5.5 – 6.75 |
| Vanadium (V) | 3.5 – 4.5 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.40 |
| Oxygen (O) | ≤ 0.20 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.08 |
| Nitrogen (N) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Hydrogen (H) | ≤ 0.015 |
| Titanium (Ti) | Balance |
Grade 5 titanium alloy, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is the most commonly used titanium alloy for high-strength fasteners because it provides excellent tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and high-temperature performance.
Mechanical Properties of Titanium Nuts
| Property | Grade 2 Titanium | Grade 5 Titanium |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 345 MPa | ≥ 895 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 275 MPa | ≥ 828 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥ 20% | ≥ 10% |
| Density | 4.51 g/cm³ | 4.43 g/cm³ |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Excellent |
Grade 5 titanium nuts provide significantly higher strength compared with commercially pure titanium while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight performance.
Titanium Nut vs Stainless Steel Nut
One of the most important advantages of titanium nuts is their excellent corrosion resistance in chloride and seawater environments. Stainless steel nuts may suffer from pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, and rust formation in marine applications, while titanium maintains excellent long-term stability due to its protective oxide layer.
| Comparison | Titanium Nut | Stainless Steel Nut |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavy |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Moderate |
| Seawater Resistance | Excellent | Limited |
| Strength-to-Weight Ratio | Excellent | Moderate |
| Magnetic Property | Non-Magnetic | Slightly Magnetic |
| Fatigue Resistance | Excellent | Moderate |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
Titanium nuts are widely used in offshore engineering, racing vehicles, aerospace systems, and chemical processing equipment where performance and reliability are more important than material cost.
Why Titanium Nuts Gall and How to Prevent Thread Seizure
Galling is one of the most common engineering challenges associated with titanium fasteners. Titanium has a strong tendency toward adhesive wear during tightening, especially when titanium nuts and titanium bolts are assembled without lubrication.
During installation, friction and pressure may cause the thread surfaces to seize, resulting in thread damage or locking failure. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as titanium galling or thread seizure.
At TSM Technology, we recommend several methods to reduce galling risks in titanium fastening systems:
| Anti-Galling Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Anti-Seize Lubricant | Reduces friction during tightening |
| Rolled Threads | Improves surface hardness and fatigue resistance |
| Controlled Tightening Speed | Prevents excessive friction heat |
| Surface Coatings | PVD and anodizing reduce adhesive wear |
| Proper Torque Control | Prevents over-tightening |
Rolled threads are particularly important because thread rolling compresses the thread surface and improves fatigue strength compared with traditional machined threads. This process also reduces microscopic surface defects that may increase friction during installation.
