Scientific And Technological Innovation To Promote The Broadening Of The Titanium Field

Scientific and technological innovation to promote the titanium industry to broaden the field of application

         Titanium is known as 'the metal of the future century'. In recent years, China's titanium industry has shown steady growth and continued to optimize the situation, the output and demand for all types of major products has reached record highs. Titanium plays a very important role in many industries. With the development of science and technology, titanium is used in many industries like pipeline networks, titanium medical equipment, food manufacturing, and other fields. And titanium will continue to expand and deepen. We China as the world's important titanium producer and consumer, have always maintained a good momentum of development, titanium production, and demand for a record high, the application fields continue to expand, and the whole industry chain synergistic development has achieved remarkable results, titanium industry has made remarkable achievements.

The titanium industry promotes the development of cutting-edge science and technology and the national economic growth of the key raw material industry. Economic, scientific, and technological development has an indispensable and important position in the construction of national key projects. The titanium industry development level is an important symbol of a country's comprehensive strength.

In recent years, China's titanium industry has adhered to the innovation-driven development strategy and constantly promotes technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and constantly optimizes the industrial structure, strengthens the upstream and downstream industry chain synergies, improves product quality and production efficiency, and promotes the expansion of titanium in the traditional industries and strategic emerging industries, and plowing the personalized, popular and diversified application scenarios, titanium daily consumer goods applications, has also made significant progress.

We notice that the application of titanium and titanium alloys in the aerospace field is particularly prominent. Due to titanium alloy has high strength, lightweight, heat resistance, and so it is used in aircraft beams partition frames and other structural frame parts, and forging titanium fans, pressurized air discs and blades, engine cowling, exhaust devices and other parts of the manufacture, it can extend the service life of the aircraft, also can reduce its own weight, while improving the flight performance of the aircraft, reduce energy consumption; in the aerospace industry, titanium alloy is also widely used in the manufacture of various pressure vessels.

Titanium is also used in the field of shipbuilding and marine engineering. Titanium has excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and low density, and other characteristics, so it can be manufactured for ships and ocean engineering equipment, and it is used in the manufacture of nuclear submarines, deep submarines, atomic energy icebreakers, and other types of ships, as well as propellers, propellers, whip antennas, seawater piping, and other ship equipment. In marine engineering, titanium is also used in seawater desalination, offshore oil drilling, ocean thermal energy conversion power plant, and other fields.

Meanwhile, in the chemical and petrochemical industries, titanium is the best choice for manufacturing various chemical equipment, because of its excellent corrosion resistance and chemical stability. In automotive manufacturing, titanium is used in the manufacture of connecting rods, crankshafts, retaining rings, valves, and other parts, which can reduce the weight of the car and improve fuel efficiency; also in the manufacture of motorbikes, titanium can improve the performance and durability of motorbikes. Titanium is also used to produce railway vehicles and other transport components.

In addition, titanium is widely used in the medical field and construction and household goods, and kitchenware, cups and pots, small household appliances, spectacle frames, watches, computers, camera housings and other household goods, golf clubs, badminton rackets, tennis rackets, and other sports equipment. In the field of energy, titanium alloy can be widely used in hydrogen fuel cell titanium bipolar plates, water electrolysis hydrogen electrolysis tanks, etc.; in the development of geothermal energy, titanium is used in the manufacture of condensers, turbines, pumps, and other equipment, can improve the heat recovery rate and prolong the life of the geothermal wells; in the thermal and nuclear power generation devices, titanium made of condensers and heat exchangers service life of up to 40 years.

For the future forecast of China's titanium demand, the chemical industry is still the most titanium-using field, and the aviation field will be the most potential growth point. In addition, titanium for marine use has great potential but needs to be promoted vigorously. It is worth paying attention to, metallurgy, the electric power industry with titanium will grow slowly, 3C, daily necessities, air conditioning field may become a new growth point.
