High-precision roll-bending of titanium alloy wire for glasses

$15.00

Eyeglass frames are generally made of titanium alloy. However, conforming to a designer’s shape is difficult because titanium alloy has a large springback. Actually, producing rims—the part of the frame to which the lens is affixed—depends on the experience and skill of workers. This paper investigates the improved methods of high-precision roll-bending for rim production by experiment and FEM analysis.
