Titanium Pins and Retaining Rings for Marine, Aerospace and Process Equipment
Titanium clevis pins, dowel pins and retaining rings can support removable joints, alignment and axial retention in lightweight or corrosion-resistant equipment. Their suitability depends on complete mechanical design, not material name alone.
Application Map
| Product | Mechanical function | Key risk |
|---|---|---|
| Clevis pin | Removable pivot or linkage | Bearing wear, cross-hole position and retainer loss |
| Dowel pin | Alignment and location | Incorrect fit, galling and assembly damage |
| Retaining ring | Axial retention in a groove | Installation strain, groove failure and permanent set |
Marine and Process Equipment
Review seawater or chemical exposure, crevices, dissimilar-metal contact, lubrication, wear, deposits and maintenance. The mating hole, groove, bushing, washer and retainer are part of the corrosion and mechanical system.
Aerospace and Lightweight Mechanisms
Low density can be beneficial, but approved drawings, loads, fatigue, vibration, qualification and traceability control acceptance. Do not describe a component as aerospace-qualified without the applicable specification and test evidence.
RFQ Checklist
