Titanium has very superior properties: high melting point, corrosion resistance, low density, high strength, high hardness, non-toxic, and non-magnetic. These characteristics make titanium metal known as “space metal” and “ocean metal”, so it is widely used. The land is used in the fields of aerospace, construction, medicine and marine engineering.

The titanium industry chain can be divided into the following four parts:
1. The beneficiation of ilmenite, rutile and other primitive minerals, through physical methods to obtain higher-grade concentrates
2. By reprocessing and purifying the concentrate, high-purity titanium dioxide is produced for use in the titanium dioxide industry.
3. Titanium tetrachloride is produced through the oxidation and reduction of titanium dioxide to prepare titanium sponge as an intermediate product
4. Through the melting and casting of sponge titanium, a titanium ingot with a dense crystal structure is produced, which is used to produce titanium and various titanium alloys.

Titanium dioxide and its application

Titanium Dioxide The scientific name of titanium dioxide is titanium dioxide (TiO2). It is a very stable oxide with excellent optical and pigment properties. It is mainly used as a white inorganic pigment. With its non-toxicity, best opacity, best whiteness and brightness, it is considered to be the best white pigment in the world. It is widely used in coatings, plastics, papermaking, printing inks, chemical fibers, rubber, and cosmetics. And other industries.

Titanium and titanium alloy applications

Titanium is an important structural metal developed in the 1950s. Titanium alloy has low density, high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, non-toxic and non-magnetic, weldable, good biocompatibility, surface It has the characteristics of strong decoration and is widely used in aviation, aerospace, chemical industry, petroleum, electric power, medical treatment, construction, sporting goods and other fields. Many countries in the world have realized the importance of titanium alloy materials, have carried out research and development on them one after another, and have obtained practical applications.

In 2011, the proportion of global commercial aviation consumption reached 46%, the proportion of military titanium materials was 9% (mainly military aviation), and the proportion of titanium materials consumed in the entire aviation sector exceeded 50%; the proportion of industrial titanium materials consumed was 43%, and consumption in emerging markets The proportion of titanium is 2%.
There are obvious regional differences in the demand structure of titanium products. In North America and the European Union, which have developed aerospace and military defense industries, especially the United States, about 50% of the demand for titanium products comes from the aerospace and military defense fields. In Japan, industrial titanium from chemical and other industries dominates demand. According to statistics from the Japan Titanium Association, aerospace only accounts for 2%-3% of Japan’s titanium demand. Quite similar to the situation in Japan, most of the demand for titanium products in my country comes from the chemical and energy sectors, with aerospace accounting for only 10%. Although China has become one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of titanium metal, most of its production has been limited to lower grade titanium, which is used in bicycle frames, golf clubs, or anti-corrosion pipes used in the chemical industry. However, in recent years, the amount of titanium used in aerospace has increased significantly in Asia. It can be seen that the prospects for the titanium market are relatively bright.
