Current situation and development trend of titanium metal industry in China

摘要

Titanium metal and alloy are key materials for technological development,which significantly promote the development of the hightech economy in China.The consumption of high-end titanium materials and the developmental level of the titanium industry are important indexes of a country’s comprehensive power.However,at present,the application amount and level of high-end titanium materials in China are limited by many factors,including the dependence of raw materials on imports,high processing cost,and structural imbalance of products.Based on the characteristics of titanium resources and the current situation of the titanium industry,the whole titanium industrial chain in China should be updated.Improving the quality of raw materials is important to produce low-cost,high-end titanium materials using titanium resources with high calcium and magnesium contents in the Panxi region.In addition,the steel-titanium joint production is a vital step to reduce the processing cost of titanium materials.Moreover,the consumption structure of titanium materials should be completed to expand their application.Gradually implementing these suggestions,the overall level of China’s titanium industry will be greatly improved,thereby rapidly establishing an advanced scientific and technological country.
