The outstanding application of pure titanium wire in the eyewear industry

Pure titanium wire plays a crucial role in the eyewear manufacturing industry due to its lightness, high strength, corrosion resistance and anti-allergy properties. It is widely used in key parts such as frames, hinges, nose pads and decorative components, perfectly integrating comfort, durability and fashion, bringing wearers an unprecedented experience.

I. Core Application Fields
(1) Frame manufacturing
The density of pure titanium wire is only 4.5g/cm3, which is about 40% lighter than stainless steel. It is an ideal material for making ultra-light spectacle frames. This lightweight feature ensures that the glasses do not cause a sense of oppression even when worn for a long time, making them particularly suitable for business people and teenagers. Meanwhile, titanium wire has excellent elasticity and can be bent to adjust the arc of the temple without breaking easily, effectively solving the problem of easy deformation of traditional metal frames. In addition, the oxide film (TiO2) formed on the surface of titanium can resist corrosion from sweat, cosmetics, etc. It does not fade or rust over long-term use, making it very suitable for sports glasses and daily wear.

(2) Hinges and connecting parts
Pure titanium wire is used to make eyeglass hinges, which have high wear resistance. Even after opening and closing tens of thousands of times, it can still remain smooth, avoiding the problem of loosening of ordinary metal hinges. Some high-end brands even adopt titanium wire elastic structures to achieve screw-free hinge designs, which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the products but also further increase their durability.

(3) Nose pads and detailed components
Titanium wire nose pads are highly suitable for people with sensitive skin. They can effectively prevent nickel allergy problems and comply with the EU nickel release standard EN 1811. In addition, the flexibility of the titanium wire allows for fine-tuning of the Angle of the nose pads, thereby enhancing the fit, which is particularly suitable for the Asian face shape with low nose Bridges.

(4) Fashion and Functional Design
Pure titanium wire can be drawn to a diameter of less than 0.5mm, allowing for the production of ultra-fine lens rings and creating an invisible wearing effect, which is highly favored by frameless glasses enthusiasts. It is also easy to process into complex textures, such as hand-woven temple shafts or laser-engraved patterns, greatly enhancing the artistic value of the glasses. In addition, through electrolytic coloring, titanium wire can present a rich variety of colors such as gold, blue and purple, meeting consumers' personalized demands.
BR> (V) Special-purpose glasses
In the field of sports glasses, the lightweight and high impact resistance of titanium wire make it an ideal choice for professional sports frames such as skiing and cycling. For children's glasses, the flexibility of titanium wire can reduce the risk of accidental injury during wearing. In the field of smart glasses, the electromagnetic shielding property (which does not affect signals) and lightweight characteristics of titanium wire make it highly suitable for use as structural components in AR/VR glasses.
