    Hi all,

    I ran into a dicussion and it got me thinking, so I thought I would post here.

    I am allergic to most metals. In fact, I believe it is nickel I am allergic too but I have not had an allergist confirm that. I just know when I have metal against my skin I have a reaction.

    I would love to look into buying a metal cage that I am not allergic to. The issue is finding one that I not only like the style, but one that I can also afford. I am not allergic to platinum, but I am damn skippy I cannot afford to have a cage made in that metal.

    Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

    I would fully expect titanium to be safe for you. Badassworkroom (bawrpro.com) is a good, and probably the most affordable, place to start.

    Stainless steel irritates my skin badly after a few days, so I assume I have an allergy to nickel. I have a titanium cage from BAW and can wear it for months at a time with no issues.

    That is good to know. titanium is made with several alloys and types. It's not all "pure" out there. I had more info on this before, but new Chat GPT searches say this.

    My point is I have to find some titanium jewelry and see before I commit to a full cage.

    Titanium alloys are generally categorized into four main types:
    • Alpha alloys
    • Near-alpha alloys
    • Alpha & beta alloys
    • Beta alloys
    The four grades of titanium alloys are:
    • Ti 6AL-4V
    • Ti 6AL ELI
    • Ti 3Al 2.5
    • Ti 5Al-2.5Sn

    The "Ti 3Al 2.5" should read "Ti 3Al 2.5V" - go Chat GPT, as accurate as ever! This and 6Al 4V are alloys with aluminium and vanadium, where the numbers denote the percentage of each additive.

    These are both really common alloys, for example in things like bikes frames. 3/2.5 seems to have a very attractive balance of workability and mechanical performance making it the choice for the majority of uses I"m aware of. 6/4 is much harder, which makes it even more difficult to work with than titanium normally is, hence it is significantly more expensive to use. In bikes, it tends to be used sparingly where resistance to gouging is important, such as in dropouts.

    According to Aunty Google, 6Al4V is the most common medical grade of titanium though.

    Doing a test with something inexpensive would seem emminently sensible! Also, may be worth asking a potential supplier what type of Ti they use.

    Thank you for the clarification. See, I didn't even notice the error chat GP gave.

    I think I recall asking BAW that question via email and they did not know? This was years ago. Do you know if they know their Ti grade?

    I think getting an allergy test first would be your best bet.
