Titanium Glasses Repair

Titanium glasses repair is one of the most deliciate repair process in all kind of glass repairs. Meral frame glasses, especially titanium made ones, are widely being used for its strength, lightweight structure and resistance to chemical corrosion. But although it has pros there are also cons for titanium glasses. For example impact damage, wear over time or incorrect previous repairs could contribute the frame structure to fall. Our expert team can restore titanium glasses frames in a very short time using special techniques and tools. By doing this, we preserve both structural integrity and visual appearance of titanium frames.

Titanium Glasses Repair Methods

Although it is also a metal, titanium glasses repair approach is significantly different from other metal glasses frames. Each titanium glasses must be carefully analyzed before doing any repairs because its alloy composition and degree of damage could vary.

Titanium Frame Welding Techniques

Titanium glasses frames sometimes requires welding process for broken bridges, snapped hinges and fracturing frames. This process must be carefully done to preserve integrity of the frame. Titanium frames are so special that there are even different types of welding techniques are introduced. During the process, special care must be taken in order to maintain the ailgnment of frame. Now let’s take a look on different welding techniques for titanium glasses frames.

Titanium Glasses Laser Welding

Laser welding technique is a special technique that allows concentrated energy to focus on specific area. This enables a precise repairing with minimal heat spread to frame area. Minimal heat dissipation is important to maintain the frame structure. Also this technique won’t change the alloy concentration of frame and maintains the corrosion resistance. Other benefit of laser welding is it can creates strong bonds between the cracks while maintaining clear joints. Laser welding of titanium glasses can easily protects and preserves the original cosmetic appearance. Generally laser welding method is being used for high value and premium titanium frames.

Titanium Glasses Cold Welding

Titanium frames are also being repaired by cold welding technique. This special approach ensures the connection of fractured points without affecting surrounding titanium metal. It never changes the property of titanium alloy. At Opto glasses, we conduct each welding processes carefully.

Nose Pad Replacement

Damaged titanium nose pad mounts can be rebuilt using compatible premium quality fittings. It can also be reinforced to restore comfort and balance of titanium frame.

Temple Arm Straightening

Temple arm is the pillar structure of titanium glasses frame to keep glasses in steady shape. Because of this, special attention will pay to the titanium temple arm repairs. Bent temple arms can be realigned using pressure tools to assume symmetrical shape, and precise optical positioning. That special care is important to have long term confort for titanium glasses frame.

Frame Crack Repair

Small fractures and cracks will eventually build up over time and lead to much serious cracks. In order to prevent this, we use laser fusion and other reinforcement techniques in order to prevent further increase of cracks and restore mechanical strenght. At Opto repair glasses we safely and precisely repair all types of titanium frames.

Titanium Glasses Materials and Specifications

Determining frame composition is a step one mandatory since the repair technique will evolve according to titanium alloy spesifications. First analyzing the composition enables us to use the correct approach to fix the titanium glass frame. Only after this analyze it is possible to make durable and long lasting repairs.

Titanium Alloy Properties

You may ask why titanium is being used? And why it is so important? First, titanium provides high tensile strength. While it keep the frame rigid, it also keeps the overall weight much lower in comparision to standard metal frame. Also for some allergic people other metal frames could be allergic. Titanium can be safely used fort he people who has hypoallergic skin problem. Titanium glasses also have excellent fatigue resistance, meaning they have a very long servie life. Titanium also changes behaviour such as heat and stress when alloy with other metals. Each alloy requires its own repair aproach.

Grade 2 Titanium Spectacle Frames

Grade 2 Titanium is commercially pure titanium alloy which added a small amount of oxygen. It also known as CP Ti Grade 2 in the industry. Due to its strength, corrosion resistance and cost, it is widely being used in glasses. It can also be welded easily. It is strong yet has a good capability of formability. In general, it is being used in premium glasses. Here are the cons of Grade 2 Titanium pros:

  • Balanced strength and flexibility
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Laser weld compatibility
  • Structural stability

Titanium Corrosion Resistance Glasses

Titanium forms a protective oxidization layer that prevents all type of chemical stain or degredation. This feature will make titanium frames ideal for high humidity environments and long term use. Since UK weather has high humidity, titanium glasses and frames are suitable.

Beta Titanium Frame Flexibility

Beta titanium is another titanium alloy that has more elasticity than pure titanium. It has a Beta phase crystal structure and corrosion resistance properties. It also includes elements like vanadium and aluminium for giving elasticity. Being elastic it can withstand repeated stress, prolonging the glass life. Repairs must preserve this flexibility for longer life.

Titanium Coating Restoration

After careful analysis and following repair process, we apply surface finishes to titanium frames. This will ensure ;

  • Premium look of your titanium glass
  • Oxidation prevention
  • Improve resistance to scracthes
  • Maintain the colour

Damage Assessment

At our service area, every titanium glasses met with a careful technical evaluation. Only after detecting the titanium type, glasses type, frame type and other features we begin the careful repair process. In this section we’ll take a look of common titanium frame damages.

Common Titanium Frame Damage

Titanium glasses are being known as lightweight yet sturdy, corrosion resistive chemical property and durabilitiy. But despite its positive features, there are also downsides. Understanding the common titanium frame faults will help users to decide when to request service support. Understanding common titanium frame damage helps users seek timely, professional repairs and extend the lifespan of their glasses.As with other glasses frame types, titanium glasses frames are also have some common problems.

Here are some typical faults:

  • Broken bridges
  • Cracked rims
  • Loose or fractured hinges
  • Bent temple arms
  • Detached nose pad mounts

Stress Fracture Identification

There could be small microscopic cracks and fractures form near joints and hinges. These faults could be detected with magnification before repair itself begins.

Frame Fatigue Analysis

Titanium frame and titanium alloys can weaken over the time. Our special fatigue detecting tool identifies vulnerable areas and performs necessary reinforcements.

Heat Damage

Previous repairing attempts or temperature exposure can distort titanium crsytalline shape which will cause brittleness. Heat exposed areas must be carefully evaluated in order to determine any structural changes did happen.

Titanium Glasses Repair Cost UK

Titanium frames and its alloys are considered as premium part of glasses. Their repair cost depends on few factors:

  • Type and degree of damage
  • Frame alloy type
  • Repair technique required
  • Replacement components needed
  • Surface finishing work

In majortiy, repairing titanium frame is much more economical than replacing titanium frames, while it also protect environment to a degree.
