Why Titanium Watches Are Becoming More And More Popular in The Country?

Most of the watches on the market used to be belt or steel band. The material of titanium alloy is relatively small. Now there are a lot of watches made of titanium. Why is that?

Titanium alloy has a density of only 4.51, which is smaller than steel and half the weight of steel, but the strength is comparable to ordinary carbon steel. Titanium is a thermodynamically unstable metal and is very reactive. Titanium can form a natural oxide film (titanium dioxide) with air. This stable and highly adherent oxide film determines the corrosion resistance of titanium, thus giving titanium excellent properties. Corrosion resistance, followed by light weight, high tensile strength and good mechanical properties are the excellent characteristics of titanium alloys.

The difference between titanium and stainless steel:

1, from the color can be distinguished: the color of titanium is a little dark, through the cold color, feel very cool, titanium is deeper than the color of steel. Steel is white, the whiter the better. Both colors are very obvious.

2, stainless steel: high hardness, strong polishing effect or brushed effect, strong metallic texture, high-grade watches generally use 316L stainless steel ......

Titanium alloy: widely used in aerospace, light weight (lightweight), mild nature (even in the cold winter is very cold), wear wrist comfort, better than stainless steel, metal allergy friends can try titanium alloy...

3, the corrosion resistance of titanium: titanium alloy profiles at 550 ℃ below the easy formation of dense oxide film, and therefore not easy to further oxidation, on the gas, seawater, steam and certain acids, alkalis and soft media with high corrosion. Anti-loss.

4, titanium has good thermal strength: the melting point of titanium alloy is 1660 ℃, higher than iron, has a higher thermal strength, can be lower than 550 ℃, while at the same time in the low temperature shows better toughness.

5, titanium processing difficulty: welding, plating, cold drawing, etc. are very difficult. Welding and plating must be carried out under vacuum or inert gas (vacuum ion plating)

6, although titanium is very similar to stainless steel in appearance, but the weight is about double, titanium is only one-half the weight of stainless steel. Therefore, if you don't want a leather strap, but a steel strap is afraid of being heavy, then a titanium watch is undoubtedly your best choice!

Why titanium watches are more and more favored by Chinese people?

Difference between steel band and leather band:

The steel band is suitable for wearing in summer, easy to clean and sweat.

The belt is suitable for winter wear and will not create a cold experience like stainless steel.

If you are a friend who likes swimming and diving, it is recommended to use titanium or stainless steel strap, which is easy to clean and not easy to damage. The leather strap will shorten its service life if it is in contact with water for a long time, so it is not recommended to wear the leather strap when swimming!
