Three major classifications of titanium frames
Pure Titanium
The most convenient and important way to distinguish whether the frame material is pure titanium or not is to look at its titanium purity. Generally speaking, only titanium raw materials with a titanium purity of 99% or more can be turned into pure titanium frames. The frame made of pure titanium material has high melting point, light material, good corrosion resistance, strong plating process layer and other high-quality features, which ensures the frame's aesthetic appearance and durability of several key properties.
Beta Titanium
First of all, β titanium is not a titanium alloy, but can be regarded as another molecular structure of titanium material. β titanium, although its purity cannot be compared with pure titanium, its compressive strength, fatigue relieving performance and resistance to natural environmental corrosion are much better than that of pure titanium. In addition, because the processing technology of β titanium is higher than that of pure titanium, it is generally only manufactured by well-known brands of large processing plants, and generally responds to the customer resources of consumers who have higher requirements for frame style and net weight.
Titanium Alloy
The definition of titanium alloy is more general, under normal circumstances, only with titanium raw materials can be called titanium alloy. Therefore, the quality and level of titanium alloy frame is mixed, and the price of titanium alloy frame is immediately harmful to the composition of titanium alloy, titanium alloy, there is also a point to be affirmed is that the choice of titanium alloy frame is not to better reduce the cost of fees, but only to better enhance the use of raw materials performance, the current stage of the market memory of the stronger frame is made of titanium alloy production and processing.
Main applications of titanium frames
01.
Bicycle Frames
Titanium is a high-end and very popular material for bicycle frames. It is especially popular with year-round cyclists, long-distance bicycle touring, gravel riders, and people who want it for life.
Bicycle frames are usually made of titanium, and the alloy used to make bicycle frames is usually composed of titanium and aluminum, as well as vanadium. The most common type of tubing used to make titanium bicycle frames is called 3Al-2.5V. This is titanium alloyed with 3% aluminum and 2.5% vanadium. Another common type of titanium alloy is 6Al-4V, which is a harder alloy usually found in high-end bikes. Because it is more difficult to synthesize and more expensive, 6Al-4V is sometimes used to make smaller parts such as headtubes or rear forks.
02.
Spectacle frames
Titanium material has become increasingly popular in the field of eyewear manufacturing due to its many advantages, such as light weight, excellent strength and toughness, excellent chemical stability, good biocompatibility, resistance to wear and corrosion. Compared to traditional materials, the characteristics of titanium ensure the strength, quality and longevity of eyeglasses without compromising the comfort of wearing them. If you're looking for a high-quality, long-lasting eyewear, you may want to consider eyewear made with titanium.
Titanium frames vs. plastic frames
Titanium alloy eyeglasses frame is a kind of high-grade eyeglasses frame with titanium as the main component, which has the following advantages:
1. Tough and durable: titanium alloy is a very tough material, which is not easy to be deformed and damaged. Therefore, titanium frames are more durable than other ordinary metal and plastic frames, suitable for long-term use.
2. Lightweight and comfortable: Titanium frames are very lightweight, very comfortable to use and do not cause stress.
3. Beautiful and generous: titanium frames have a soft texture and a simple appearance.
Second, the advantages of plastic frame
Plastic eyeglass frames are eyeglass frames with plastic as the main component, which have the following advantages:
1. Lightweight and flexible: plastic frames are very lightweight and suitable for daily wear.
2. Colorful: the appearance of plastic frames is fashionable and diverse, with a variety of colors and patterns, which can meet the aesthetic needs of different people.
3. Allergy-resistant: the plastic frame material is not easy to cause allergic reactions, suitable for people who are allergic to titanium material.
Titanium frame surface treatment process
Anodizing
Generate a layer of dense oxide film on the surface of titanium alloy to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Electrophoretic coating
Put titanium alloy into electrophoresis tank and deposit a layer of coating on the surface after energized to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Sandblasting
Remove the oxide film and dirt on the surface of titanium alloy by sand blasting to improve its surface roughness and cleanliness.
Chemical plating
Deposit a layer of metal or metal alloy on the surface of titanium alloy to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Laser processing
Ablate various shapes of patterns or characters on the surface of titanium alloy by laser, to improve its decorative properties.
Micro-arc oxidation
Generate a layer of oxide film on the surface of titanium alloy to improve its corrosion resistance and resistance.
Electrolytic Polishing
Remove the oxide film and dirt on the surface of titanium alloy by electrolysis to improve its surface finish.
Etching
Remove part of the material on the surface of titanium alloy through chemical reaction to form patterns or characters to improve its decorative properties.
Dyeing treatment
Put titanium alloy into dyeing tank, pass the dye into it and then make its surface color, improve its decorativeness.
