How do I care for the magnetic bracelets made of stainless steel or titanium ?

Frequently Asked Questions
Both stainless steel and titanium are corrosion resistant and do not normally need special care. If they do get dusty, simply wash it with tap water, or if necessary, soak it in soap water for a while then cleanse it. DO NOT use brush especially on glossy finish or gold plated finish. Use a cloth or towel to dry it instead.

Should I get the Seamaster Professional Chronograph in stainless steel or titanium?

Go for what you like best. The titanium is much lighter than the stainless steel, but it also scratches somewhat more easily.

Why do you use stainless steel on one liner and titanium on the other liner?

FAQ
We use Aerospace grade titanium on the spring/lock side liner. Titanium is the perfect material for that function and has all of the properties needed to perform the duties of a strong reliable locking liner system. The opposite side (non-lock side) is crafted from a 300 series stainless steel. This side of the knife functions as a handle frame stiffener and has a minimal mechanical function. The stainless steel is truly stainless.

What is the difference between stainless steel and titanium and which is "better"?

Muzzys Support FAQs Page
Stainless steel is the standard material for a Muzzy exhaust system. In most cases a stainless steel system weighs about 12 pounds. The optional material, titanium weighs a little over half as much as steel yet is stronger. The average weight of a titanium system is about 7.5 pounds. For comparison, stock systems can weight from 20 to 35 pounds. Generally the design is the same for both the titanium or stainless steel, so the power output is the same as well.

Can I use stainless steel utensils with Colloidal Silver?

FAQ
Most of the literature I have read on Colloidal Silver forbids the use of stainless steel, but I cannot see why, as it is non-magnetic. I have yet to see any reasoned scientific argument, or actual test to demonstrate why it should not be used. My own experiments have satisfied me personally that there is no harm in using stainless steel.

We can. Titanium is stronger, but it is less wear resistant, and will not provide as good an edge. This is used in blades that require a low magnetic signature, as in working around certain explosives. We don't recommend it for normal usage.

Q Do you recommend plastic or stainless steel/silver tongue cleaners?

Tongue Cleaner Tongue Scraper Frequently Asked Questions
A There seem to be 2 basic kinds of tongue cleaners available -- U-shaped (generally used with 2 hands) or T-shaped cleaners (used with one hand). I believe the U-shaped design is best as it can easily clean the back of the tongue, where most bacteria reside. Using 2 hands give precise control over the pressure and position of the cleaner.

What makes stainless steel "stainless"?

Frequently Asked Questions about Steel for Wire Products
Compared to plain carbon steel, stainless steels (there are more than 300 grades) contain at least 12% Chromium - a metal that is intrinsically corrosion resistant. Because of this alloying, stainless steels form a tightly-adherent and protective oxide layer which is so thin that the metallic coloration of the underlying steel is visible. The oxide layer that forms in ambient environments on plain carbon steels (i.e.

Why use a stainless steel crown instead of just a white filling?

Frequently Asked Questions - Dr. Ewers, Dentistry for Kids, ...
Primary teeth have very thin enamel compared to the permanent teeth. For this reason, they do not hold big fillings well. "Big fillings" are repairs to large cavities on two or more sides of the tooth on first primary molars, and three or more sides on the second primary molars. Additionally, children who grind their teeth at night break their fillings much more rapidly. Stainless steel crowns hold up much better under these circumstances.
