About the material: titanium steel
Titanium steel has excellent corrosion resistance and a bright appearance. It is a special steel that is harmless to the human body, with a model number of 316. It has a luster and texture similar to titanium. Currently, many products in China that are labeled as titanium steel jewelry actually use 316L stainless steel, which is marketed as titanium steel to attract consumers. Some even refer to it as titanium alloy jewelry, when in fact, it contains no titanium.
The commonly referred "titanium steel" material among stainless steel jewelry is 316L stainless steel. Some manufacturers even call it "316L international standard titanium." In reality, 316L is a stainless steel classification that is derived from 316 stainless steel with a reduced carbon content. It is more expensive than regular stainless steel and has strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for skin contact jewelry. Its main components are iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni), with no titanium content at all.
However, 316L stainless steel can maintain its shape and color over a long period of time. Among commonly used stainless steels, 316L steel, referred to as "titanium steel," is indeed suitable for making jewelry.
The main characteristics of titanium steel include:
1.Corrosion Resistance: Titanium steel has excellent corrosion resistance, is not prone to rust, and is suitable for daily wear.
2.High Strength: Compared to other metal materials, titanium steel has higher strength and is more wear-resistant.
3.Lightweight: Titanium steel is relatively light, making it comfortable to wear and suitable for making various accessories.
4.Non-toxic: Titanium steel is harmless to the human body, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.
