In daily life, for most people, titanium alloy glasses frames are the most common type of titanium products that can be touched at close range. When we walk into the glasses store to choose frames, facing the endless introduction of the store, including terms like pure titanium and semi-titanium, we often feel confused and don’t know how to make a choice. Don’t worry, let’s introduce in detail how to choose a favorite titanium alloy glasses frame.
Titanium alloy glasses frames, a unique charm
Lightweight and comfortable, with no feeling when wearing
A significant advantage of titanium alloy glasses frames is that they are lightweight, and their density is about half that of steel. This means that long-term wearing will not cause too much burden on the bridge of the nose and ears, allowing the eyes to enjoy a clear field of vision while the body can also be relaxed, as if the glasses are "invisible".
Hard and durable, quality assurance
Its hardness is quite high, about twice that of stainless steel and ordinary steel, and twice that of iron. This high hardness makes the titanium alloy glasses frame able to resist various scratches and collisions in daily use, and is not easy to deform and damage, which greatly extends the service life of the glasses and saves you the trouble and cost of frequent replacement of glasses.
Strong corrosion resistance, long-lasting
Titanium alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and will not rust even if it is soaked in the sea for five years. In daily life, whether it is sweat, rain, or other corrosive substances, it can be easily dealt with, always keeping them as bright as new, so that your glasses are always as bright as when you first bought them.
Rich colors, fashionable and versatile
A variety of colors and metallic luster add a unique sense of fashion to titanium alloy glasses frames. Whether it is a simple and atmospheric classic color or a trendy color with personality, it can meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers, allowing you to become the focus of fashion while showing clear vision.
Anti-allergic and wear-resistant, caring
For people with sensitive skin, the anti-allergic properties of titanium alloy glasses frames are undoubtedly a great blessing. It will not cause skin allergic reactions, making you feel more at ease when wearing it. At the same time, its wear-resistant characteristics also ensure the beauty of the glasses frame during use, and it will not lose its luster due to slight friction.
How to choose between pure titanium and semi-titanium?
Pure titanium: pure quality, classic choice
Pure titanium glasses frames are generally marked as Titanium / pure titanium / Titanium - IP. Only when the titanium purity reaches more than 90% of the titanium metal material can it be called pure titanium glass. Pure titanium glasses frames have become the first choice for many consumers with their pure material and stable performance. It gives people a sense of texture, a classic atmosphere, and is suitable for consumers who pursue quality and simple style.
Semi-titanium (β titanium): flexible and fashionable
Semi-titanium usually refers to β-titanium, also known as titanium alloy Tc4. β-titanium is a metallographic structure of titanium alloy, which is called β-titanium (B titanium) by people in the industry. Frames made of β-titanium have a unique recovery phenomenon. When subjected to a certain external pressure, they will return to their original state and have excellent plasticity. This allows designers to create more novel and unique shapes and styles to meet consumers' pursuit of fashion and personality. At the same time, β-titanium eyeglass frames are lighter and more comfortable to wear.
Fine processes create fine products
The production process of a pair of titanium alloy eyeglass frames is extremely complicated, requiring at least more than 100 steps. From carefully selecting accessories to processing semi-finished products in the factory to welding and polishing, every link requires excellence. Then, electroplating is carried out to add bright colors and luster to the eyeglass frames. Finally, after the finished product is assembled, packaged, and shipped, a perfect titanium alloy eyeglass frame can be delivered to consumers. Each process embodies the hard work and wisdom of the craftsmen, ensuring the high quality of the eyeglass frames.
Check the logo at a glance
The identification method of titanium frames is relatively simple. Generally, there will be words such as 100% TITANIUM and TITANIUM on the inside of the temples and the temples. However, if the temples are too thin, these words may not be marked. At this time, other methods are needed to identify them.
Magnetic test, simple and effective
The simplest standard for consumers to test titanium frames is that titanium frames do not attract magnets and have no magnetism. You can hold a magnet close to the glasses frame. If the magnet can be easily sucked up, it is not a titanium frame. This method is simple and easy, allowing you to quickly distinguish the authenticity when purchasing.
Restoration phenomenon, extraordinary memory
Titanium alloy glasses frames will show a recovery phenomenon when subjected to a certain external pressure, and have a certain memory ability, so titanium is also called "memory metal". You can gently bend the temples and observe whether it can return to its original state to determine whether it is a titanium alloy glasses frame.
In summary, titanium alloys are highly favored in the eyewear industry due to their many advantages and characteristics. With the continuous improvement and innovation of various new methods and production and processing technologies, titanium alloy glasses frames will gradually be accepted and loved by more people. Next time you walk into an eyewear store, I believe you can use this knowledge to select a titanium alloy glasses frame that you like and is of high quality, and start a new experience of clarity and fashion.
