The so-called titanium steel is actually a kind of stainless steel, and its main components are iron, chromium, nickel and molybdenum. Does not contain titanium, and the material used is not titanium, but 3 16L stainless steel. Commercially called titanium steel, and some even called titanium alloy jewelry, are actually stainless steel products without titanium. Jewelry made of this material is much cheaper than other gold and silver jewelry.
Titanium was discovered at the end of 18. 179 1 year, British chemistry enthusiast W. Gregor discovered an unknown new element in minerals. 1795, German chemist M.H. Klaproth discovered this element while studying rutile (TiO2). He named it after Titan, the son of the earth in Greek mythology (in Chinese, it is called titanium according to the transliteration of its original name). Titan spirit in ancient Greece? It is synonymous with courage, named after titanium, and expresses the natural power of metallic titanium.
Titanium (Ti)- silver gray metal, specific gravity 4.5, melting point 1668? Titanium is a very special metal, which is very light, but very tough and corrosion-resistant. It won't turn black like silver, and it will keep its color for life at room temperature. The melting point of titanium is close to that of platinum, so it is often used in aerospace and military precision parts. Adding current and chemical treatment will produce different colors. Due to the above characteristics of titanium, its unique silver-gray tone has a good performance in high polishing, mercerizing and matt, and it is the most suitable jewelry metal except precious metal platinum and gold. It is often used in modern jewelry design abroad and is a popular jewelry material in the world. As for model design, minimalist and clean tailoring, advanced design and low-key and avant-garde style are highly respected by young white-collar workers. However, due to the high processing requirements of titanium, it is difficult to cast with ordinary equipment and weld with ordinary tools, and it is difficult to form a production scale. So it is hard to see in the domestic jewelry market.
There are many jewelry called titanium steel in China, which are made of stainless steel instead of titanium. In order to attract people, it is called titanium steel, and some even called titanium alloy jewelry, which is actually stainless steel jewelry without titanium.
Among them, the most common material for stainless steel ornaments is 3 16L stainless steel, and some manufacturers call it 3 16L international standard titanium. In fact, 3 16L is the code name of stainless steel, which is obtained by continuously reducing the carbon content on the basis of 3 16 stainless steel. Compared with ordinary stainless steel, it is more expensive and has strong corrosion resistance, and is suitable for skin contact jewelry. But it will hardly deform and change color for a long time. In ordinary stainless steel, it is called. Titanium steel? 3 16L steel is the most suitable for jewelry.
