Product Detail
Product Introduction
Grade 2 Titanium Wave Washers are thin continuous rings formed with circumferential waves that provide low-profile axial spring force. Performance depends on wave count and amplitude, strip thickness, diameters, material condition, working deflection, seating and fatigue duty. Material grade alone does not define spring force.
Product Specifications
| Product | Grade 2 Titanium Wave Washers | Material | Titanium Grade 2 / UNS R50400 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product Form | Flat, split-lock or drawing-specific washer | Typical Inquiry Range | For M2 to M36 fasteners in typical inquiries; custom ID, OD and thickness by review |
| Dimensional References | ISO 7089/7090, DIN 125, ASME B18.21 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
- Working force: State the required axial force at installed height and the permitted deflection range.
- Wave geometry: Define ID, OD, thickness, wave count, free height and tolerances, preferably by approved drawing.
- Assembly duty: Specify seating faces, rotation, temperature, cycle count, corrosion environment and whether the washer is captured or guided.

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 wave washers used for high bolt preload?
They are generally selected for light axial compensation, bearing preload or tolerance take-up. The required force and working height must be validated.
Can a flat washer replace a wave washer?
No. A flat washer distributes bearing load but does not provide the same axial spring response.
What information is needed for quotation?
