Fasteners


Nickel, titanium, and stainless steel alloys are used for fasteners in space applications due to their strength, fatigue resistance, and ability to endure temperature fluctuations.

MaterialUse
Ti-6AL-4VUsed for bolts, screws, nuts, washers, and studs
Ti-6AL-4V ELIEngine fasteners and aircraft bolts
625Used for aerospace bolts, nuts, and screws 
718Used in engine fasteners, turbine bolts, and high-temperature structural joints
A286A popular choice for high-strength bolts, brackets, and structural fasteners
15-5 PHIncreased toughness and corrosion resistance make this alloy a great choice for fasteners, valves, gears, and pumps.
