Pure Titanium, Ti 6Al-4V and Ti 6Al-4V ELI, Ti-Pd, and TiCode 12 are the most common titanium alloys used in industry.
Titanium alloys is a blend of properties of steel and aluminum and are used in such varied applications as satellites, airplanes, cryogenic storage vessels, seawater pumps, pulp and paper production, yachts, jewelry, eyeglass frames, golf clubs, high current superconductors, off-shore drilling equipment, dental implants, and hip and knee replacements.
SFI are world class supplier of specialty alloy fasteners, precision components, fittings and mill products made out of the highest quality specialty metals. We provide products made to industry standards or to exact customer specifications.
CherryMAX® is a locked spindle blind rivet with a visibly inspectable mechanical locking device and its own installation washer, which eliminates the problems resulting from worn tool anvils. It is called a "bulbed" fastener due to its large blind side bearing surface, developed during the installation process. CherryMAX® rivets are used in thin sheet applications and for use in materials that may be damaged by other types of blind rivets. The CherryMAX® rivet is the most reliable, high strength structural fastener with visual inspectability in the world today. It features the "Safe-lock" locking collar for more reliable joint integrity.
CherryMAX® tooling provides the simplest, most trouble-free installation tooling system. CherryMAX® fasteners are currently available in 1/8" through 1/4" diameters in both nominal and 1/64" oversize diameters. The tools utilize one pulling head to install many diameters, head configurations, and material combinations.C
The Recoil helically wound screw-thread inserts are generally manufactured from Type 304 (18-8) stainless steel wire cold rolled into a diamond shaped cross section. Recoil inserts can be supplied in other materials such as Inconel, Nimonic 90, Phosphor Bronze and Type 316 stainless steel.
Recoil inserts are available in either standard free running form or screw lock type which provides an internal locking feature. Inserts are manufactured for every thread form including UNC, UNF, BSC, BSW, BSP, BSF, BA, NPT and ISO Metric thread sizes.
Huck LockBolts consist of two parts: a pin, and a collar. The bolt is inserted into one side of the joint material and the collar is placed over the bolt from the other side of the joint material. Access to both sides of the joint is required. A Huck installation tool is used to swage the collar materials into the grooves of the bolt providing a permanent and vibration resistant fastening.

Products include standard open-end rivets, as well as Specialty Rivets, including Closed-end, Multi-Grip and Plastic rivets. Threaded Inserts round out the product line, complimented by a full array of Manual and Air Tools. Many fasteners are offered in kit form with tools as well!
The Visu-Lok family of fasteners, designed for use in metal structure, have addressed the need for cost effective one-sided fastener installation for decades. The basic design of the Visu-Lok is based on one of the oldest and time proven principles; the nut and bolt. However the Visu-Lok, unlike conventional nut and bolt pairings, is fully installed and verified from one side of the structure. With the ease of its one man, one-sided installation process the self-locking Visu-Lok forms a solid blind side head delivering high tensile, shear and fatigue values and guaranteed 20% minimum preloads. This simple installation process can be accomplished with either hand or compact power tools operating at standard air pressure levels and can be further simplified by adopting Monogram’s drive nut concept.
