Technical development of titanium alloys

The titanium alloy industry is mainly concentrated in the United States, Russia, and Japan.
In terms of production technology, Klauer is still the leading process for producing sponge titanium.

 
Electron beam cold bed furnace melting technology has been commercially applied on titanium ingot equipment.
Large forging and precision forging technology are constantly developing.

 
Near-mid forming technologies such as laser forming are constantly being applied.
Some conventional processing technologies such as forging and rolling have been fully computer-controlled.

 
The proportion of titanium alloy materials in non-aviation industries is 50%~60%, and the proportion of applications in aviation industry is 40%~50%.
The proportion of titanium application in aviation industry, among which the United States, Russia and other countries are far higher than Japan and China, accounting for about 70% and 80%.

 
Japan mainly uses non-aviation industry applications, accounting for about 90%.
The application of titanium in biomedicine and automobiles has received widespread attention from countries around the world. New medical titanium alloys, high-temperature titanium alloys, high-strength titanium alloys, and low-cost titanium alloys are relatively active in research, and there are many new preparation and forming processing technologies.
The development trend of titanium technology is the low cost of titanium, preparation and processing technology, including sponge production, titanium alloy material design and processing process.

 
Large-scale high-quality titanium alloy billet preparation technology, including single cooling furnace melting direct impurity technology, titanium strip continuous processing technology production, etc.

 
Near-net forming technology, including laser forming, precision casting, precision die forging, superplastic forming, superplastic diffusion bonding, injection molding, etc.
Titanium promotion and application technology, including biomedical titanium, automotive titanium, and construction titanium.
