XMetal, what is it?

My Mother was 1/3 Manganese.

This is pretty sick, will have to update the X-Metal guide with the result! Very curious.

What is Oakley X-Metal? The Ultimate Guide

How Oakley X-Metal and Jim Jannard created the worlds strongest sunglasses by ignoring what everyone told them was impossible!

Wow that's specific. Was going to guess Ti and Aluminum, the rest I mean I'll trust you there ha

That’s mostly the composition of grade 5 titanium, the most used alloy.

42.. never underestimate the power of molybdenum

 

[Oakley G]

Yes X-metal is mostly G5. It was always sold as an alloy of 5 metals but you will find traces of other minerals in there as well In addition to the main 5. Plus PVD or whatever the coating for the generation was if it wasn’t striped out before analysis.

Awesome project! Looking forward to the results. These are some methods labs use to analyze Ti alloys.
Alloy elements:
ASTM E 2994
ASTM E 2371

Impurities:
O & N: ASTM E 1409
H: ASTM E 1447
C: ASTM E 1941

And after we got that in, let's find out what the coatings are made of. Knowledge wants to be free.

Very interesting. Can’t wait to see the results. Now do Big Mac sauce

 

[Dbninc]

Now I want one. Damn, they’re very good at advertising.

You guys blow. All that money spent for this analysis, and your trying to pull the curtain back. Shame on you TOTO'S
But alas...I was even going to do a bundle give away, for the most accurate.
I am sadden by your extensive knowledge. Shame on you for ruining my fun.

Commonly referred to as Ti-6AL-4V (or Ti 6-4), this designation refers to its chemical composition of almost 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (max) iron and 0.2% (max) oxygen.

The Ti-6Al-4V alloy is an α–β titanium alloy that exhibits high strength, low density, and good corrosion resistance. It is one of the most commonly used titanium alloys.

Other minor compounds, <0.5%
Cr, Mg, Zr, Ni

Was able to detect down to the pico gram.

Nice call @Oakley G
If you can locate Trump, he will give you a reach around, he may be hiding around here somewhere.

Thanks for indulging me OF!
Love you Peeps.

Oh and @pjd1234 ..the Toto reference and pulling back the curtain were long before you loved your first pair of R1's...its the Wizard of Oz, if you were wondering, youngster!

Thanks so much! I am delighted to finally know and slightly disappointed it‘s “only” plain old grade 5. Their marketing made it sound more special - of course it did.

Great work bud!
