Layered titanium and zirconium bring flowing colors and dark contrast.
What it is
ZircTi is a patterned composite made from layers of zirconium and titanium or titanium alloys bonded together. Also commonly called Zircuti, it belongs to the same family of layered decorative metals as titanium Damascus, but includes zirconium. Specific grades, proportions and patterns depend on the material supplier. It is not ordinary Damascus steel or a pattern printed onto plain zirconium.
How it feels in your EDC
Its main appeal is the contrast between colorful titanium layers and zirconium layers that can turn dark gray or black with controlled heat treatment. Flowing lines make each piece visually distinctive. Weight and feel depend on the layer mix, component size and surface finish. Makers may use it for bodies, buttons, beads or inlays; the material alone does not guarantee a particular sound or spin time.
Care & aging
Surface colors can change with abrasion, especially on raised edges. Start with a soft cloth and follow the maker's cleaning advice. Avoid abrasive polishes and harsh chemicals that could alter the contrast or oxide colors. Keep cleaning liquids away from bearings, magnets and internal mechanisms. Recoloring requires a process suited to the specific material, so consult the maker rather than heating it yourself.
是什么
锆马士革(ZircTi)是由锆层与钛或钛合金层结合而成的花纹复合材料,也常称 Zircuti。它和钛大马士革同属层叠装饰金属,但加入了锆。具体牌号、比例和花纹取决于材料供应商。它既不是普通大马士革钢,也不是印在普通锆上的图案。
上手感受
它的主要魅力在于多彩钛层与锆层之间的对比,锆层经控温热处理可变成深灰或黑色。流动的线条让每一件都别具一格。重量和手感取决于层的配比、零件尺寸和表面处理。品牌可能用它制作主体、按键、珠子或镶嵌;材料本身并不保证特定的声音或旋转时间。
保养与老化
表面颜色会因摩擦而变化,凸起的边缘尤其明显。先用软布清洁,并遵循品牌的清洁建议。避免研磨抛光剂和强化学品,以免改变对比或氧化色。清洁液要远离轴承、磁铁和内部机构。重新上色需要适合该材料的工艺,请咨询品牌,不要自行加热。
