Titanium as a kind of rare metal, with a small specific gravity, high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, excellent corrosion resistant, lightweight structural materials, new functional materials and important biological engineering materials, mainly used in the aerospace industry, chemical industry and energy industry and other departments. Before 90 s, titanium is mainly used in aerospace and nuclear submarines and other cutting-edge technology, has become an important strategic material, military industry and during the cold war because of the strategic need for fast development, the production has maintained rapid growth. After the end of the cold war, due to the military titanium demand, which once made the world titanium production serious decline. The world titanium are the biggest still is the aerospace industry, its consumption accounted for 50% of consumption. But with titanium in private sector using dynamics enlarges unceasingly, as well as the technology advances of lower production costs, titanium in other civil in the field of industrial and consumer USES is developing very fast, partly compensate for falling demand in the military industry. Therefore, the world titanium industry in general is still in the recovery. According to experts predict, the world titanium industry will keep growing at around 5% a year.
Titanium needs to present a good momentum of growth in our country, in recent years, under the favorable conditions of rapid economic growth in China, the titanium industry has made considerable development, especially in 2002, out of titanium industry in China for several years stagnated, has entered a new stage of development. When the titanium sponge production hit a record high in our country, has more than 3000 tons, the demand for titanium, 6000-7000 tons, 30% growth in 2001, on the basis of continue to grow by 15%. Demand areas from three aspects: first, military industrial project, the demand for titanium is increasing; Second, aerospace's demand has increased; Three is application breakthrough growth in civil field. The three aspects of growth, stimulate the development of titanium industry in China.
In 2002, titanium first appeared in construction industry. National centre for the performing arts in the world attention from the spherical roof with titanium have been identified, the Japanese Nippon steel is selected as the national centre for the performing arts titanium plate supplier. This is our country construction field for the first time application of titanium, created a precedent in the field of construction, will lead to China's construction market applications of titanium. Hangzhou grand theater, the capital museum, under construction are intentionally using titanium as roof and wall plate decoration. Facing huge construction market, titanium processing enterprises in China is facing a good opportunity for development, development to adapt to the market of titanium products building materials.
2002 traditional titanium application field also has development in our country, aircraft, ships, salt, alkali, such as petrochemical, textile, metallurgy, and power sector with titanium were increased.
In 2002, the titanium in the field of civil consumption in our country also have great progress, in addition to the building materials, sports leisure, automotive, medical, computer etc titanium consumption is also growing fast. Such as the golf ball head and the dosage of the club has more than 1000 tons.
This shows, in the development of titanium industry, civilian areas is pull the development of titanium industry new impetus and opportunities. Looked from the domestic market development in recent years, the domestic titanium tends to increase the market demand, in the "five-year" period, the titanium market effective demand for 8000 tons, according to the national titanium application promotion leading group office survey of the domestic market, in 2005 is expected to domestic demand for titanium sponge and titanium processing materials 7500 tons and 5500 tons respectively, in 2010 the domestic demand for titanium sponge and titanium processing materials more than 10000 tons, respectively.
Titanium as a new metal material, is an important raw material of supporting cutting-edge science and technology progress, is the foundation of the national economic development and industrial upgrading industries. Titanium/steel, of a country is an important symbol of its technical level and economic strength, one of the few industries in the developed countries the ratio of the sponge titanium/steel has retained at around three over ten thousand, and our country is only. According to our country's current industrial level, the proportion should be around one over ten thousand, if you want to achieve this ratio, the titanium market demand will be expanded more than twice, this shows that China's existing titanium market development potential is tremendous, promising. Titanium smelting techniques such as breakthrough can be achieved, in particular, titanium greatly reduce production costs, titanium demand rises to explode.
At the same time also should see, the lack of high quality raw materials become a bottleneck restricting the development of titanium industry in China. Although titanium ore is abundant in our country, accounting for about 64% of the world's proven reserves, easy easy but low grade, high quality titanium placer iron ore and sands rutile are less, especially the shortage of high quality rutile, still need to import. The characteristics of titanium ore in China restricted the output and quality of titanium sponge, although the current domestic production of titanium sponge can basically meet the needs of the production, but because of quality, in the production of high quality titanium and titanium ingot still needs a large number of import high quality sponge titanium. So, if you don't step up to the development and utilization of titanium resources, improve the yield and quality of titanium sponge, it will restrict the long-term development of titanium industry in China.
