Titanum and its alloys have been used as the important materials of eyewear frame because of its light weight, mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This study investigated the characteristics of P-Ti and ${\beta}$-Ti alloys in accordance with joining conditions by electric resistance brazing. Hardness of P-Ti and ${\beta}$-Ti has been reduced because of an increase of grain size by the growth of brazing time. Hardness reduction and reduction area by grain growth were largely appeared in P-Ti than ${\beta}$-Ti.

Titanum and its alloys have been used as the important materials of eyewear frame because of its light weight, mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This study investigated the characteristics of P-Ti and ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti alloys in accordance with joining conditions by electric resistance brazing. Hardness of P-Ti and ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti has been reduced because of an increase of grain size by the growth of brazing current. Especially, hardness reduction was largely appeared in P-Ti than ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti. It was considered that a little decrease of hardness in ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$-Ti was due to formation of detailed ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$ lamella.
