At present, titanium alloy is the only metal with the least damage to the human body, and it is precisely because of its minimal damage to the human body that it is used as an implant material for human joints, bones, and other structures. The excellent biocompatibility of titanium is completely non-toxic, harmless, and non allergenic to the human body. After anodizing treatment, the oxide film formed on its surface has antibacterial properties. It is not only light, strong, corrosion-resistant, but also easy to disinfect at high temperatures. Then, titanium alloy is made into many titanium tableware and titanium handicrafts. Titanium chopsticks are gradually gaining recognition from consumers.
Titanium tableware generally includes titanium chopsticks, spoons, forks, bowls, pots, knives, etc. A report states that ordinary household wooden and bamboo chopsticks can breed various molds after being used for more than 3 months, and those with severe mold growth can also breed "aflatoxin" that can induce liver cancer. Many families have been using chopsticks for several years, and there are not many families with disinfection habits. Experts say that as long as chopsticks are kept dry and regularly disinfected, there are generally no problems. At the same time, experts remind that chopsticks should be replaced in a timely manner according to their usage. Titanium chopsticks can effectively solve this problem. Due to the "photocatalyst" effect produced by titanium oxidation treatment, the oxide film of titanium chopsticks will have antibacterial effect.
Titanium crafts not only have a luxurious silver luster texture, but can also be nitrided into a golden yellow color on titanium crafts, anodized (depending on the formula of the current, temperature, and chemical agent) to present various bright colors (blue, yellow, brown, green, red, etc.) on titanium crafts. They can also be processed by acid etching to create a highly layered titanium plate painting. Titanium handicrafts include titanium plate paintings, titanium fountain pens, titanium crutches, titanium fishing rods, titanium chess pieces, titanium jewelry (bracelets, tie clips, brooches), etc. Basically, all precious metal handicrafts can be made of titanium metal.
