What actually is C-5 alloy used for the frames of oakley prescription eyewear?
Posted on January 27th, 2010 by admin
All i do know is that it is an alloy that was made from 5 superheated metallic compounds, making it fuse together. Anybody know more about it?
A marketing gimmick. If C-5 was really wonderful and valuable, you would have a huge paper trail of research, white papers, study groups, doctorate thesis about C-5. The mere fact that googling "C-5 alloy" only returns ads for Oakley demonstrate that it is a marketing gimmick. Trust me: an eyewear company does not have the capability of doing any material research and much less finding anything worthwhile. All they want is an excuse for charging exorbitant prices for a 1$ metallic rim.
