Glasses material comparison: Pure Titanium VS β Titanium VS Titanium Alloy?

Glasses material comparison: Pure Titanium VS β Titanium VS Titanium Alloy?

Titanium glasses are one of the most popular materials for glasses due to their ultra-light weight, comfort and durability.

But do you know the main difference between pure titanium, β titanium and titanium alloy glasses?

Now there is Ousen Eyewear to show you the difference!

To be precise, they are all materials containing metal titanium, but the content is different and the processing technology is different.

1. Pure titanium

Refers to titanium metal materials with a titanium purity of more than 89%.

Advantages: light material, strong corrosion resistance, firm electroplating layer, non-allergic. Good touch, no other metal cold feeling.

Disadvantages: The material is soft, and the glasses cannot be made more delicate. Only by making the lines thicker can the stability and strength be guaranteed. Generally, pure titanium glasses frames are best placed in the glasses case when not being worn to avoid pressure deformation. In addition, due to the high price of raw materials, the glasses of this material are more expensive!

2. β titanium

Another molecular form of titanium, the titanium component accounts for about 70% and is mixed with other rare metals to form a special

alloy.

Advantages: It has better strength, fatigue resistance and environmental corrosion resistance than pure titanium and other titanium alloys, and has good shape plasticity.

Cons: A little heavier than pure titanium. (For example, pure titanium is 4.9g/cm3, and beta titanium weighs 8.9g/cm3, but it is still lighter than other metals)

3. Titanium alloy (memory titanium)‍

Usually refers to a mixture of 50% titanium and 50% tin. There are also alloys such as titanium and aluminum. Because of the wide range, the   quality of the products varies, and so does the price. The combination of different gold materials determines the value. The memory titanium   alloy exhibits shape memory characteristics below 0 °C, and high elasticity between 0-40 °C, and its wear resistance is slightly inferior to that of pure titanium and beta titanium.

Usually pure titanium prices are much higher than others. Because its processing is really difficult, the processing cost is much higher than that of titanium alloys. Now many businesses are using this blind spot of consumers to sell titanium alloys as pure titanium to gain benefits.   Be   careful to distinguish!
