Ti Frames---Do You Know

Ti Frames---Do You Know
The materials of the frames are often divided into three kinds, namely, metal frames, natural materials and non-metallic frames. Now there are some details about the metal frames, especially Ti frames.
Ti is the major material among the precious metals. Titanium is a kind of silvery white metal, with the light weight as its biggest feature. Titanium is a pure metal element, an ultra-lightweight metal, whose chemical symbol is Ti. Its proportion of is 4.5. Most people are not allergic to Ti. It has a high strength, corrosion resistance and good plasticity. It is widely used in space technology, jewelry, surgical appliances, and other fields. It is the most high-end materials of the glasses industry.
The general titanium alloys used to make the frames include titanium aluminum, titanium zirconium and so on. The flexibility of theses titanium alloys is better than the pure titanium. They are not as light as the pure titanium. Pure titanium and titanium alloys both are the materials for high-end frames. The titanium frames mainly include pure titanium, titanium alloys and β titanium. Pure titanium frames are made of highly pure titanium. Titanium alloys have a solid performance. β titanium has higher flexibility and strength. The general symbol of the titanium frames is Ti-P or TITAN, which shows that the whole frame is made up from titanium except the nasal link, hinge and screws. Ti-C indicates that parts of the frame are made up from titanium.
As one kind of the materials for glasses frames, titanium has the following features: It is so weight that people feel comfortable to wear titanium frame glasses. It has the strong corrosion resistance; most people will not be allergic to it. It is full anti-erosion for sweat. It has the high anti-fatigue ability, impact resistance and heat resistance.
Compared with other materials, the weight is 48% lighter than many other metals. So it lifts the burden of the nose. It has high strength, therefore the titanium frames cannot be scratched easily. Besides, it has excellent corrosion resistance and plasticity. Compared to other metal materials, it is not easy to deform and fade, and it has high stability to highlight the distinguished taste and elegance. Titanium frames are the perfect frames for active lifestyles or heavy prescription. Most classic frames are made of titanium.
Just because titanium has so many advantages that the price of titanium frames is much higher. Its merits are also very attractive. You can make your decision according to your situation.
