What Are ISO 4018 Titanium Hex Bolts? Dimensional & Mechanical Realities

In global industrial fastening, ISO 4018 specifies hexagon head bolts with threads up to the head (fully threaded) featuring coarse metric threads ranging from M5 up to M64. While traditional carbon steel ISO 4018 bolts are designated as Product Grade C (coarser dimensional tolerances), modern aerospace, chemical processing, and performance engineering industries demand CNC-machined titanium executions that unite the full-thread utility of ISO 4018 with tight aerospace-grade micro-tolerances.

Core Mechanical Value

Precision Full-Thread Fastening for Corrosive & High-Vibration Enclosures

Unlike ISO 4014 which leaves an unthreaded shank, or ISO 4017 which governs Product Grade A and B precision executions, ISO 4018 Titanium Hex Bolts allow complete engagement across shallow tapped blind holes, ultra-thin tapped plates, and adjustable clamping assemblies. Where standard austenitic stainless steel (such as 304 or 316) suffers from pitting corrosion and chloride stress crack failure at elevated temperatures, Grade 2 and Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) titanium offer an impermeable rutile passive oxide layer.

Yevzo Titanium Metal Co., Ltd. specializes in multi-axis Swiss CNC turning and high-speed precision threading of ISO 4018 bolts. Our proprietary rolled-thread and precision-cut thread options ensure uninterrupted metal grain flow lines around the thread roots, significantly mitigating shear stress concentration and improving cyclic fatigue life under continuous dynamic loads.

Mechanical testing performed in accordance with ISO 6892-1 / ASTM E8. Material certified to ASTM B348, AMS 4928, and ISO 4018 / DIN 558 thread geometry standards.

Full Thread Runout Control

Our ISO 4018 bolts maintain an optimized thread root radius according to ISO 965-1 6g fit. Under-head radius blending prevents notch stress fatigue failures commonly observed in low-tier cold-headed alternatives.

Strict Chemical Assay Inspection

Every batch undergoes quantitative glow discharge optical emission spectrometry to confirm Interstitial Elements: Fe ≤ 0.30%, C ≤ 0.08%, N ≤ 0.05%, H ≤ 0.015%, and O ≤ 0.20%.

Standard Equivalence

Full backward interchangeability with DIN 558 and ISO 4017 across matching pitch diameters, thread pitches, and across-flats wrench widths (ISO vs DIN head standards catered upon request).

Cold-Heading vs. CNC Turning

While mass consumer hardware utilizes cold heading, high-integrity ISO 4018 titanium bolts benefit from advanced CNC turning. This prevents internal micro-fissuring and yields exact thread form perpendicularity within 0.01mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

ISO 4018 Titanium Hex Bolts: Engineering & Sourcing FAQ

Precise, actionable answers to technical, commercial, and metallurgical queries posed by engineers and global procurement officers.

What is the technical distinction between ISO 4018, ISO 4017, and ISO 4014?
All three standards govern metric hexagon head bolts. ISO 4014 defines partially threaded hex bolts with an unthreaded grip length (shank) intended for shear joints and thick clamping stacks. ISO 4017 defines fully threaded hexagon head screws manufactured to precision Product Grades A and B (tighter head and shank runout tolerances). ISO 4018 defines fully threaded hexagon head bolts categorized under Product Grade C (coarser commercial tolerances in classical steel). When engineered in titanium by Yevzo Titanium Metal Co., Ltd., ISO 4018 configurations provide full thread engagement suited for tapped blind housings, while meeting tight CNC turning tolerances for demanding mechanical duties.
When should an engineer specify Grade 2 titanium instead of Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) for ISO 4018 bolts?
Grade 2 (Commercially Pure Titanium) is optimal when corrosion resistance in aggressive reducing acids, chlorites, nitric acid, and chlorine dioxide takes precedence over high tensile loading. Gr2 possesses a yield strength around 275 MPa and elongation up to 20%, which provides outstanding ductility and chemical resistance in pulp, paper, flue gas desulfurization, and chemical wash towers. Conversely, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) provides high yield strength (≥ 828 MPa) and high tensile strength (≥ 895–1050 MPa), making it mandatory for structural motorsport, aerospace brackets, marine subsea tie-downs, and EV powertrain mounts.
How can galling and thread seizing be prevented when installing titanium bolts?
Thread galling (cold welding) happens when the protective titanium oxide layer breaks under high friction and contact pressure. To prevent this, apply anti-seize paste containing molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), nickel, or copper. During automated installation, limit tool speed to 200–300 RPM to keep temperatures low, avoid impact wrenches when drawing down high-pitch threads, and choose TiN (titanium nitride) or Type II anodized finishes, which provide a durable dry-lubricated barrier.
What torque values should be used for ISO 4018 titanium hex bolts?
Because titanium has an elastic modulus of ~114 GPa (roughly half that of steel) and different friction characteristics, never use standard carbon steel torque charts. For dry Gr5 Ti-6Al-4V metric fasteners, torque values are roughly 15–20% lower than Grade 8.8 steel to achieve the same target bolt stretch. When applying anti-seize paste with a friction coefficient of μ=0.10, torque values must be reduced by 30% to 40% from dry values to avoid over-tensioning. Yevzo supplies calculated torque-tension engineering charts tailored to your fastener size and joint lubrication.
Are ISO 4018 titanium hex bolts compatible with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP)?
Yes. Unlike aluminum and plain carbon steel, which suffer severe galvanic corrosion when in contact with carbon fiber, titanium has an electrochemical potential practically identical to carbon. Titanium fasteners can be placed directly through carbon fiber laminates without dielectric isolating sleeves or sacrificial coatings, making ISO 4018 Gr5 bolts standard hardware in advanced composites, aerospace structures, and racing chassis.
What quality verification documentation accompanies each shipment?
Shipments from Yevzo Titanium Metal Co., Ltd. include an EN 10204 3.1 Inspection Certificate. This document records the raw ingot melt number, chemical composition breakdown (Fe, C, N, H, O, Ti), and room-temperature tensile test results (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, area reduction). Shipments also include dimensional optical measurement reports, thread gauge pass records (Go/No-Go 6g), and certificate of conformity with ISO 4018 / DIN 558 standards.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) and production turnaround?
For stocked standard ISO 4018 sizes (M5 to M20 in Grade 5 plain finish), our minimum order quantity starts at 20–50 pieces with dispatch within 48 to 72 hours. Custom lengths, non-standard pitches, custom broached heads, or anodized/PVD-coated runs typically start at 100 to 200 pieces, with production runs completed in 12 to 18 business days.
