Rapid Expansion Of Titanium From Aerospace To 3C Electronics

Titanium industry chain is difficult in the midstream processing and manufacturing
Titanium is mainly used in the field of aerospace, known as "space metal" and "strategic metal". Titanium has a small density, high specific strength, low thermal conductivity, good resistance to high and low temperatures, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and other outstanding features, is widely used in aerospace, ships, weapons, biomedical chemical metallurgy, marine engineering, sports and leisure and other fields, known as "space metal" and "strategic metal". It is widely used in aerospace, ships, weapons, biomedical, chemical, metallurgical, marine engineering, sports and leisure, etc. It is known as "space metal" and "strategic metal". The abundance of titanium in the earth's crust is 0.56%, ranking 9th among all elements, but due to the complexity of titanium smelting technology, processing difficulty, titanium is categorized as a "rare" metal. From the titanium industry chain, . The upstream end is the supply of raw materials, mainly ilmenite and rutile; the midstream is the processing of titanium materials, including titanium sponge, titanium dioxide and titanium processed materials; the downstream is the application market.

Titanium melting, pressure processing and heat treatment are more difficult, complex technology, high technology content. Titanium and titanium alloy from melting to the final product - generally need the preparation of titanium sponge, titanium preparation and titanium application of three steps, of which the first two steps of the technical complexity, the preparation of difficult, is the application of titanium and the key link, titanium sponge and titanium quality directly determines the quality of titanium products. High titanium slag through chlorination, magnesium reduction method to get titanium sponge, titanium sponge through the melting and casting of titanium ingots or titanium alloy ingots, and then through the forging, rolling and other deformation of the process and machining made of titanium, after further processing and manufacturing into titanium equipment.
Titanium alloy grades are mainly TA/TB/TC. According to whether to add alloying elements can be divided into pure titanium products and titanium alloys, titanium alloys in accordance with the phase composition can be divided into: dense rows of hexagonal structure of α-type titanium alloys (including nearly α-type alloys) that is the domestic brand TA; body-centered cubic structure of the type of titanium alloys (including nearly β-type alloys) - that is, the domestic brand name of the TB; two-phase hybrid α + β-type Titanium alloys of two-phase mixture of α + β type of titanium alloys, i.e., the domestic brand name TC; different types of titanium alloys due to their different physicochemical properties have different application tendencies.
Titanium is widely used in a variety of fields. Titanium has low density, corrosion resistance, high strength and other excellent characteristics, its applications are very wide, nearly half of the world's titanium used in the aviation field. In contrast, China's titanium consumption is relatively concentrated in the chemical industry, the aerospace field accounts for a relatively low.
