- Threads
- Metric, UNC, UNF or drawing
- Documents
- MTC, dimensions and thread inspection
Product Detail
Product Introduction
Grade 2 Titanium Cap Nuts provide a closed domed end over the mating bolt or stud, helping shield exposed threads and create a finished external profile. They are not automatically pressure-tight. Selection requires thread engagement, available dome depth, stud projection, wrenching clearance, seating face, installation torque and service environment.
Product Specifications
| Product | Grade 2 Titanium Cap Nuts | Material | Titanium Grade 2 / UNS R50400 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product Form | Standard or drawing-specific titanium fastener | Typical Inquiry Range | Metric, inch and custom sizes confirmed at RFQ stage |
| Dimensional References | Expressly invoked standard or approved drawing | Threads / Dimensions | Metric coarse or fine, UNC, UNF or drawing-specific as applicable |
| Surface | Machined and cleaned; lubricant, anti-galling treatment or coating by agreement | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and dimensional inspection report |
| Inspection | Dimensions, thread gauging, surface and agreed functional or mechanical tests | Supply Basis | Approved purchase order, invoked standard and drawing |
Typical inquiry ranges are not a stock guarantee. Final manufacturability, tolerances and test requirements are confirmed against the complete RFQ.
Selection and Configuration
- Dome clearance: Confirm internal dome depth against bolt or stud projection so the nut seats on the joint rather than bottoming internally.
- Thread engagement: Define thread, class of fit and minimum usable engagement together with mating fastener material and condition.
- Sealing expectation: State whether the cap is for protection and appearance only or whether a separate engineered sealing feature is required.

Mechanical Properties – Grade 2 Material Reference
| Property | Annealed Grade 2 Material Reference Minimum |
|---|---|
| Ultimate tensile strength | 345 MPa (50 ksi) |
| 0.2% yield strength | 275 MPa (40 ksi) |
| Elongation | 20% |
Material values do not automatically establish finished-fastener loadability. Finished-part acceptance depends on geometry, manufacturing route, condition and the expressly invoked fastener specification or drawing.

FAQ
Are titanium cap nuts pressure-tight?
Not by default. The closed dome protects the thread end, but pressure or fluid sealing requires an expressly engineered sealing interface and validation.
Why is stud projection important?
An overlong stud can bottom inside the dome before the nut seats and develops the intended clamp load. Dome clearance must be checked.
Can a cap nut replace a standard hex nut?
Only after checking engagement, dome clearance, proof or mechanical requirements, seating area, wrenching space and joint inspection.
