The following outlines the standard installation procedure and important considerations for titanium plain washers, compiled based on industry standards and practical experience:
I. Pre-installation Preparation
1. Surface Preparation C
lean the contact surfaces to remove oil, rust, and other contaminants. Check that the surface of the titanium flat washer is smooth and free of burrs to prevent scratches on the contact surface.
2. Gasket Selection
Select the material based on the operating conditions:
Gr2 pure titanium: Excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for chemical and medical applications.
Gr5 titanium alloy: High strength, suitable for high-load applications such as aerospace. The dimensions must match the bolt hole diameter and thickness requirements.
II. Installation Steps
1. Washer Orientation
Smooth side facing down: This ensures close contact with the surface of the connected part, minimizing friction and damage.
Rough side facing up: When used with a spring washer, this orientation enhances the anti-loosening effect.
2. Assembly Instructions
Standard sequence:
Component to be fastened → Flat washer → Spring washer → Nut.
For added protection, multiple flat washers can be used to distribute the pressure.
3. Tightening Method
Use a diagonal, even tightening method to avoid uneven stress that could cause deformation.
The torque must comply with the standard; over-tightening can damage the titanium washer.
III. Precautions Corrosion protection:
Titanium gaskets may require additional coating protection in acidic environments.
Temperature considerations: Gr5 titanium alloy gaskets should be used for high-temperature applications.
Regular inspection: In environments with vibration, it is recommended to inspect the gasket condition every 6 months.
