Materials Of Eyeglasses

1. Alloy material

There are cupronickel (mainly copper, mainly adding nickel, zinc, etc.), manganese-nickel (mainly manganese, mainly adding nickel, etc.), high nickel (mainly nickel, adding chromium, manganese, etc.), nickel-copper (mainly nickel, adding nickel, etc.) Mainly, adding copper, etc.) and other alloy materials, there are slight differences in physical and chemical properties such as strength and corrosion resistance.

Advantages: low material price (especially white copper), low processing difficulty. Easy to adjust the frame.

Disadvantages: poor electroplating adhesion, easy to corrode and rust, some people are susceptible to metal allergies, easy to be squeezed and deformed, and heavier.

2. Stainless steel material

Basically, it is stamped and formed from thin stainless steel material.

Advantages: good flexibility, resistance to deformation, light weight. The surface is treated with IP electroplating, which is durable. 

Disadvantage: cannot be adjusted. Lenses with high degrees are thicker and affect the appearance. Frames with painted surfaces are easy to peel off and are not durable.

3. Titanium material When the titanium purity reaches more than 99%, it can be called pure titanium glasses. The frame made of pure titanium material has excellent characteristics such as high melting point, light material, strong corrosion resistance and firm electroplating layer, which can ensure the two important properties of the beautiful and durable glasses frame. The ideal metal frame material.

Advantages: high strength, not easy to deform, but adjustable frame, not easy to metal allergy. High adhesion after IP plating, high durability and light weight. 

Disadvantages: high material prices, difficult processing, resulting in higher prices.

4. Beta titanium material can be understood as another molecular state of titanium material. Although the purity of beta titanium cannot be compared with pure titanium, its strength, fatigue resistance and environmental corrosion resistance are better than pure titanium. It is widely used in frames with high elastic requirements such as filament-shaped temples, nose autumn, and slender frames.

Advantages: good flexibility, not easy to deform, light weight.

Disadvantages: Not suitable for people with high heights, the front end of the frame is too heavy and easy to slide down, and the lens is too thick to affect the appearance and cannot be adjusted. The material price is high, the processing is difficult, and the price is high.
