What metal alloys are used in sunglasses?
The most common alloy used in sunglasses is aluminum-magnesium.
Glasses wearers love aluminum alloy sunglasses for their sustainability, durability, resistance to corrosion, and – perhaps most of all – their lightweight fit. They’re also easy to adjust and come in a variety of popular styles.
In short, it’s nearly impossible to go wrong when you choose aluminum alloy sunglasses.
Are aluminum-magnesium sunglasses more expensive?
They can be, but it depends on your definition of “expensive.” It also depends on where you buy them.
For instance, aluminum sunglasses are often compared to plastic frames, which tend to run cheaper and come in a greater array of colors but are also heavier and less durable. In these situations, plastic sunglasses may be the cheaper option, but it doesn’t mean aluminum alloy sunglasses need to break the bank.
When you shop Yesglasses, you’re always getting the best prices on the best frames. While metal alloy sunglasses may cost you a bit more than you’d spend on select alternatives, they’re still highly affordable and can be had at a great price.
Do aluminum-magnesium sunglasses last a long time?
Absolutely! Aluminum alloy sunglasses are likely to outlast your lenses and can be with you for years, provided you take good care of them.
Beyond their exceptional durability, they’re also resistant to corrosion (e.g., oxidation and rust), making them an awesome choice for hotter days, athletic activities, and other situations where you might not be able to keep them completely dry.
