Titanium alloy is the dream metal of engineers! Because it is not only light and strong, but also corrosion-resistant. It is a metal with a wide range of uses, from watches, heart valves, aircraft frames, diving racks, sports equipment, artificial bones, glasses, and so on. The only disadvantage is that titanium is expensive. Do you know the basic method of detecting pure titanium?
However, the high price of titanium comes from its own reasons, because the traditional method of extracting titanium from titanium dioxide ore is not only time-consuming, but also harmful to environmental pollution, resulting in the high price of titanium. However, according to a report published in the journal Nature on September 21, material chemists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new electroplating chemical technology. They installed the graphite electrode in a conductive crucible made of titanium, filled the crucible with calcium chloride solution and titanium dioxide particles, and then applied an electric current. Oxygen in titanium dioxide combines with electrons, separates from titanium, and then forms carbon dioxide with graphite electrode; At the same time, titanium metal without impurities is produced in the crucible. This new method can not only greatly reduce the problem of environmental pollution, but also the continuous production process has more development potential than the old batch process, which can reduce the price of titanium by two to four times. Therefore, titanium will be able to replace stainless steel in more applications. Titanium is light, hard and high temperature resistant. It is used as an indispensable metal material for cutting-edge technologies such as aerospace science, marine science and nuclear power generation. Pure titanium mainly depends on its ultra light weight and absolute corrosion resistance.
The basic method of distinguishing pure titanium from pure titanium;
1. Because different metals have different conductivity, whether it is pure titanium can be measured by conductivity index.
2. We can put the magnet on the table and put the frame close to it. If there is a magnetic reaction, it is not a pure titanium frame.
3. You can also check the hinge structure. Pure titanium glasses will have two plastic or metal pads placed on the hinges
4. The polishing spark of titanium material is bright white.
