From Strategic Metal to Everyday Use: The Future and Development of Titanium
Sep 15, 2024
Thanks to its outstanding performance, Titanium is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives. For example, titanium glasses and mobile phones; titanium fishing rods and badminton rackets, titanium pots, titanium cups and titanium forks, etc. people use more and more titanium products.
Titanium is an important strategic metal in the 21st century, it is known as the 'space metal' and the 'ocean metal'. it has similar strength to steel but is lighter than steel. Because of its lightweight, high strength, high and low-temperature resistance, and resistance to strong acids and alkalis, titanium has become an important manufacturing material for key equipment in many countries. From the 'Shenzhou' flying, 'Chang'e' to explore the moon to 'struggler' deep dive to the bottom of the sea, titanium has played an indispensable role in helping to realize the 'nine skies and the moon, and the five oceans. The nine heavens and the moon, down to the five seas to catch turtle' feat.
Nowadays, titanium and titanium alloy products have been used by the common people. Perhaps your tea set dishes have quietly appeared in the figure of titanium.
China's Shaanxi Province baoji city is an important base for the titanium industry, with the country's most abundant titanium specifications and types, the industry scale has long ranked first in the country, and it has a leanding position in the global titanium metal processing industry.
By 2025, the capability of titanium processing in Shaanxi will strive to reach 110,000 tonnes, accounting for more than 65% of the domestic market share. Meanwhile, relying on Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwest Nonferrous Metals Research Institute, BaoTi Group, and other universities, scientific research institutes, and leading enterprises, Shaanxi will accelerate the construction of innovation platforms to form a titanium and titanium alloy materials industry cluster with Xi'an and Baoji as the core, and the annual output value will exceed 100 billion yuan, ranking among the international first-class level.
