Features and benefits

Clip nuts are multiple-threaded components used on many thin materials, easily found in the sheet metal and panel fasteners product line. Ideally to use in hard-to-reach installations. In general, turned up lead lips on one or both legs allow for fast installation over the panel edges providing a strong clamping action for secure, vibration-free assembly, without damaging finishes to press into the panel. Our Clip nuts are low cost, removable and reusable

Applications

 

• Automotive Industry
• Sheet Metal Fabrication
• Control Panels

Titanium fasteners are best known for being strong, lightweight, and corrosion resistant. They are critical to many industries including chlor alkali, marine, off-shore oil & gas, desalination, medical, and pulp and paper. Titanium fasteners are only 60% of the weight of stainless steel fasteners. 

Grade 2 and 5 are the most commonly used grades of titanium screws:

Grade 2 : Commercially pure titanium and the most common grade for screws.
Grade 5 : Superior strength-to-weight ratio for a unique combination of corrosion and high strength.

Corrosion Resistance

Saltwater
Perhaps the most notable attribute of titanium fasteners are their superior corrosion resistance to salt water / seawater. Titanium screws have the unique ability to rapidly regrow their protective passive layer in the presence of oxygen, giving them unparalleled resistance to salt water environments.

Chloride, Chlorine & Other Media

Similar to salt water, titanium’s strong, protective oxide film which regenerates in oxygen makes it extremely resistant to oxidizing environments, and chlorides solutions, including hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, sodium chlorite, and chlorine dioxide. This protection holds true as long as moisture is present – which can be as little as 50ppm of moisture. Oxidizing environments in the absence of water can cause titanium to rapidly corrode or even ignite. Titanium screws are not resistant to reducing media and acids.

Lighweight Strength

Not only are titanium grade 5 fasteners extremely strong, offering 148 ksi UTS and 138ksi yield they are also incredibly light. With a density of 4.51 g /cm3, titanium has on of the the highest strength-to-weight ratios available to industry. Titanium Grade 5 screws are 4 times stronger than 316 stainless steel at nearly half the weight. This makes titanium fasteners ideal for applications that require both lightness of weight and excellent strength such medical, military and sporting goods.
