Space Application Brief
Space Linecard
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.
Ti-6AL-4V: This grade is typically used for bolts, screws, nuts, washers, and studs.
Ti-6AL-4V ELI: This ELI grade (extra-low interstitials) gives this grade enhanced toughness and ductility, making it an excellent option for engine fasteners and aircraft bolts.
625: Used for aerospace bolts, nuts, and screws
718: Used in engine fasteners, turbine bolts, and high-temperature structural joints.
A286: A popular choice for high-strength bolts, brackets, and structural fasteners.
15-5 PH: Increased toughness and corrosion resistance make this alloy a great choice for fasteners, valves, gears, and pumps.
