With the advancement of technology, precision titanium products, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior biocompatibility, are gradually making their way from high-end fields such as aerospace and medical into the lives of ordinary consumers. From lightweight titanium eyeglass frames to anti-allergic titanium jewelry, the variety and styles of titanium products are increasingly rich. However, consumers face a common problem: how to identify whether the purchased product is really made of titanium? Is it pure titanium or titanium alloy? This article will provide you with several simple and easy identification methods.
Titanium has a density of 4.51 grams per cubic centimeter, which is one of its unique physical properties. For precision titanium products with regular shapes, such as square plates or round bars, the density can be calculated by measuring the volume and weight. If the result is close to 4.51 grams per cubic centimeter, it can basically be identified as a titanium product. Although this method requires some calculations, it is quite accurate.
If you scratch white ceramic with a titanium product, it will leave a gray scratch that is difficult to remove. Although metals like lead and tin can also leave scratches on ceramics, combining density and texture can initially determine whether it is a titanium product. It is worth noting that the tips of some titanium chopsticks are specially hardened and may not easily leave scratches, in which case you can try testing with the tail end.
When you place a titanium product on a gas stove and burn it, the unplated titanium product will change color with the temperature, showing yellow, purple, blue, gray-white, and even gold, green, and rose red. This method is suitable for precision titanium products without plastic components and those that do not mind changes in appearance. If the product surface has a plating layer, it cannot be identified using the burning method.
Titanium is a completely non-magnetic metal, and a magnet can be used to test its magnetic attraction. Some counterfeit products on the market may use other alloy materials; the magnetic test can quickly eliminate these inferior products. If you are worried that only the surface is plated with titanium, you can sand the surface before performing the burning test.
When purchasing precision titanium products, in addition to mastering the above identification methods, choosing a trusted brand is also crucial. Aulister, as a leading manufacturer of precision titanium products, is committed to providing consumers with high-quality titanium products. Whether pure titanium or titanium alloy, Aulister's products undergo strict quality control to ensure that every product meets high standards.
