- Advantages of titanium products
The following are three typical advantages of using titanium.
(1) Lightweight without sacrificing strength.
(2) Safe to use for items that come in contact with the body.
(3) Rust-resistant, so quality can be maintained over the long term.
The first is the ability to reduce weight without compromising strength.
The first characteristic of titanium is its high specific strength. High specific strength means that titanium is light and strong. Aluminum, for example, is a lighter metal than titanium, but its specific strength is lower. Therefore, titanium can be made lighter than aluminum for the same strength. In other words, weight can be reduced without sacrificing strength.
Second, titanium can be used safely for items that come into contact with the body.
Biocompatibility is required for materials used in accessories and other items that come into contact with the body, as well as for materials used in medical devices and other items that enter the body. For example, toxic metals such as lead and mercury, and metals that cause metal allergies such as nickel and cobalt cannot be used in body-contact items or medical devices. Titanium, on the other hand, has no toxicity. In addition, titanium does not cause metal allergies because it forms a passive oxide film on its surface that does not allow ions to leak out. Therefore, titanium is a highly biocompatible metal and can be used safely for items that come into contact with the body.
Third, it is resistant to rust, so its quality can be maintained over the long term.
Titanium forms a passive oxide film on its surface, making it more resistant to rust than other metals. Since quality can be maintained over the long term, there are advantages such as a longer service life and reduced maintenance. For this reason, it is often used for space and aviation-related items. Titanium’s corrosion resistance is also sufficient to withstand seawater, so it is also used in the marine industry.
- Double-wall titanium mug vs. Single-wall titanium mug
Single-wall products are very lightweight because they are made of a single piece and are recommended for mountain climbing and trekking. The single-layer construction allows for easier heat transfer, so please note that the mug itself will be hotter and the mouth will be hotter when hot beverages are added, compared to the double-wall construction. Also, condensation may occur when using the mug with cold beverages.
On the other hand, double-wall mugs have a double-layered structure that prevents heat from escaping and has excellent heat-retaining and cold-keeping functions. The double-wall construction prevents heat from escaping, so the mouth does not get hot even when drinking hot beverages. It has excellent heat retention properties and ice does not melt easily. 3.
- How to clean your titanium mug
To clean your titanium cup, start by rinsing it under the faucet and drying it thoroughly. At home, fill the cup with warm water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid, then swirl and shake to clean. Use a nonabrasive cloth to remove any food debris and dry the cup with a towel while leaving the lid off to air-dry the inside.
