Pure titanium and titanium alloys (commonly known as titanium gold) are hard in texture, light in weight and resistant to corrosion. Generally speaking, titanium gold is mainly used in engineering and aviation industry. Pure titanium and titanium alloys have only recently been used as jewelry, and their popularity index is rising.

Features:

Titanium gold has stable chemical properties and excellent biocompatibility. In human body, it can resist the corrosion of secretions, is nontoxic, and is suitable for any sterilization method. Because titanium gold has high corrosion resistance and stability, substances will not react with it. It is the only metal that has no effect on human autonomic nerves and taste, and will never cause allergies.

Titanium gold has a unique use in medicine. At the bone injury, it was fixed with titanium plate and titanium screw. After a few months, bones will grow on the threads of titanium plates and screws. New muscles are wrapped in titanium sheets and can be stored in the human body for a long time without rejection, so people call them "bionic metals".

Extended data:

Titanium gold, as its name implies, is a heroic metal, bright silver, light and strong. It has excellent corrosion resistance to most chemical media. Chemically, the famous strong corrosive agent "aqua regia" can devour silver and gold, and even corrode stainless steel, which is called "stainless" and becomes rusty beyond recognition.

However, "aqua regia" is helpless to titanium gold. Titanium gold soaked in "aqua regia" for several years is still shining. It can maintain high strength in a wide temperature range of 253℃~500℃. Therefore, the metal products made of titanium gold will not deform and fade, and are easy to maintain. You only need to wipe it gently with cotton cloth to restore the luster. The longer it takes, the better the color will be.

At present, there are pure titanium jewelry on the domestic market, but it is really rare. Titanium ornaments on the market mainly contain titanium metal, not pure titanium.

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).

In ancient Greece, "Titan spirit" was synonymous with courage. Titanium dioxide is named for its natural strength.

Titanium jewelry is very popular in western countries, which is a new thing for China people. However, the domestic titanium gold production is weak and the foreign price is very high, which makes people flinch. Only a few domestic manufacturers can produce and process real titanium jewelry.

Titanium jewelry can be colored independently by technical means, without gold plating, or inlaid with gems. Among them, prong setting's gem technology is extremely demanding, and only a few manufacturers at home and abroad can do it. These are difficult technological breakthroughs for titanium, which is second to none in China and hard to find abroad.
