Superior nature of "space metal"
Titanium (Ti) is not a precious metal material, but a silver-gray metal material, but it has very superior properties, toughness, corrosion resistance, silver brightness, high melting point, etc., commonly used in space shuttles, chemical equipment, military The production of precision parts, so it is also called "space metal"
Making "special" characteristics of jewelry
Titanium's unique silver-gray tone, whether it is high-polished, mercerized or matt, is a very good jewellery metal material other than precious metals such as platinum and gold. It is often used in modern foreign jewelry design and is currently popular internationally. One of the jewelry materials, commonly known as titanium in the market. It also has a very powerful "special" feature:
Light weight
The specific gravity of titanium is very low, only about 4.51, about half of the alloys of stainless steel, cobalt, chrome, etc., probably, 1/3 of the weight of gold, the advantages are obvious when making earrings, necklaces and other jewelry, wearing titanium Jewelry is light and comfortable.
2. high strength and corrosion resistance
titanium gold strength and high strength steel similar, and high hardness, not easy to deformation, unlike ordinary gold and silver jewelry after wearing for a period of time need to be reshaped.Titanium, meanwhile, is particularly tough and resistant to corrosion, does not blacken like silver, maintains its tint and luster at room temperature for life, and is impervious to water.
Why not "common" titanium
Titanium jewelry has many excellent characteristics, but why is it not common in China?Because the processing technology of titanium gold is very demanding, it is difficult to cast it with conventional equipment, and it is difficult to weld it with ordinary tools, so it is quite difficult to form the production scale.With the improvement of processing technology, titanium jewelry has been rapidly popular in the world since 2000. However, at present, the production technology of titanium gold in China is still very weak, difficult to process and requires high labor cost. It can be said that titanium material is not expensive, but the processing link is expensive.At the same time, titanium gold jewelry for Chinese people, relatively new and does not belong to the non-precious metal, want to be generally recognized still need some time.As a result, titanium is not very common in the domestic market.
