At Viaticum Gallery, we are dedicated to enhancing your body adornment experience, not only through tattoos and piercings, but also by offering a selection of excellent implant-grade titanium jewelry. In our Oslo studio, you will find a selection of options, including Titanium in Implant Grade 23 (Ti6Al4V ELI, ASTM F136).
This remarkable material is three times stronger than steel, biocompatible, lightweight, and perfect for both new and healed piercings. So let’s explore the world of implant-grade titanium and discover what sets it apart from other materials.
Benefits of Implant-Grade Titanium
Our titanium jewelry is made from Implant Grade 23 Titanium, known in the industry as Ti6Al4V ELI (ASTM F136) Titanium. This remarkable material offers superior strength, exceeding steel by three times. Its biocompatibility ensures that it is safe to use with living tissue, as it is non-toxic, non-reactive and free from the risk of immunological rejection.
A Confidence-Building Choice for Medical Associations
Implant Grade 23 Titanium is widely recognized by British and American medical associations for various implants due to its remarkable resistance to the corrosive effects of body fluids. This exceptional property ensures that your jewelry, made from this material, will not only look stunning, but will also stand the test of time.
Hypoallergenic and Nickel-free
Safety is a primary concern when it comes to body jewelry, and implant-grade titanium does not disappoint. Titanium is inherently hypoallergenic and nickel-free, making it an excellent choice for those with nickel sensitivities. All Viaticum Gallery titanium jewelry complies with the EC Nickel Directive, assuring you of quality and safety, regardless of the material chosen.
Versatility for All Phases
Whether you have a new, unhealed piercing or an established one, implant-grade titanium jewelry is suitable for both. Its compatibility with different healing phases ensures that you can enjoy the benefits of this exceptional material throughout your piercing journey.
A Splash of Color with Anodizing
One of the fascinating features of titanium is its ability to take on vibrant colors through anodizing. The process involves electrolysis, which adjusts the oxide level on the metal’s surface. This change in the oxide level controls the refraction of light, resulting in a spectrum of colors. By carefully manipulating the oxide level, we can create a diverse color scheme while maintaining the metal’s biocompatibility.
The origin of Titan
Titanium is the fourth most abundant structural material on Earth and is obtained primarily from various ores – naturally occurring rocks or sediments from which the metal or mineral can be extracted. These ores must undergo a complex, multi-step process to extract the pure titanium metal used in the jewelry.
Facts about Titanium
- Titanium was named after mythological Greek giants known as the Titans.
