Abstract: A method and a product made through it by utilizing Zirconium alloys containing Titanium in the manufacture of metal articles of sports, night stealth compatible articles for law enforcement and military equipment, night-stealth personal and body adornments for members of such forces, garden and household implements, fashion accessories, body art articles, and medical and dental implants, and other articles. The articles benefit from any combination of properties from being hypo-allergenic, possessing high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and hardness, having low ductility and elasticity and of having the outer appearance within the scale of dark grey to blackness. In this method an alloy of components in their respective ratios from within the method's stipulated preferred range is shaped into a work piece by conventional metal forming devices and methods, and then subjected to an oxidation process and optional quenching steps.
