After more than 40 years of research and development, my country has become the world's fourth largest titanium industrial country with a complete industrial system and production capacity after the United States, Russia, and Japan.

It is understood that my country's titanium resources ranks first in the world, has proven to have 870 million tons of resource reserves, accounting for 60% of the world's total reserves, the unique conditions for the development of titanium industry. my country has been engaged in titanium research and development for more than 40 years. Up to now, a series of complete titanium industrial systems have been formed, from titanium ore mining and production, sponge titanium production to titanium casting, titanium processing, titanium parts and titanium equipment manufacturing, with an annual output of 350,000 tons of titanium concentrate, 3650 The production capacity of tons of sponge titanium, 2800 tons of titanium processed materials, 600 tons of titanium castings and 400 tons of titanium equipment, of which the production and sales of titanium materials in Baoji Nonferrous Metal Processing Plant accounted for more than 80% of the national total production and sales.

At present, my country has developed more than 50 types of titanium alloys, including nearly 30 titanium and titanium alloy grades listed in national standards. Domestic research and development base of titanium alloy materials-Northwest Nonferrous Metals Research Institute and other scientific research institutes. They have designed, researched and developed their own "Titanium-31", "Titanium-75", "Particle-reinforced titanium-based composites", "TB3" and "Titanium-55", "TB2" and other new types of titanium alloys to fill As a result of the domestic gap, its comprehensive performance has reached the leading level of similar international alloys. These new materials have been widely used in military production and national economic construction.

Titanium is a young metal that has been on the world industrial stage since the 1950s. It has special functions such as hydrogen storage, superconductivity, corrosion resistance, light weight, shape memory, super elasticity and high damping. It is a new type of functional material and an important biological material. From the perspective of industrial value, resource life and development prospects, it is known as the "third metal" that is emerging after iron and aluminum. The vigorous development of the titanium industry has extremely important strategic significance for consolidating national defense and national economic construction. The world The economic development of various countries shows that the advanced titanium industry is a comprehensive

An important symbol of unity.

It is reported that during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period, my country will also focus on the development of new high-performance titanium alloys that can adapt to different temperatures, different strength levels and different application fields to meet the needs of the domestic market.
