Development and application market of low alloy titanium tape

Since the development of titanium roll products in China started late, the construction did not begin until the National Eleventh Five Year Plan period of this century. So far, the key technology of low alloy titanium coil production is still mastered by several large titanium coil production enterprises abroad, and a domestic enterprise has only begun in-depth research in recent years and made preliminary progress. However, a large number of domestic low-alloy titanium coils still need to be imported every year, and their price and demand are controlled by people, so as to inhibit and stifle the production of domestic low-alloy titanium coils, so as to export titanium processing products to China and monopolize the market.

Titanium alloy coils are mainly used in high-tech fields such as aircraft, spacecraft, submarines, nuclear power plants, medical treatment and high-end racing, as well as civil fields such as metallurgy, chemical industry and decoration.

At present, many complete titanium coil production lines have been built in China and are beginning to take shape. The equipment strength has far exceeded that of similar foreign production enterprises. In November 2008, with the successful trial production of domestic cold-rolled titanium coil, a complete production chain from sponge titanium, smelting, forging, rolling, finishing and deep processing was formed. The production technology of titanium coil has been improved day by day, which has accumulated a lot of data and experience for the production of low alloy wide titanium coil.

Medical industry
Because of the excellent compatibility between titanium and human body, it has been used as the preferred material in the medical industry. With the development of the strip Market, the medical industry, which used to rely on chip production to provide raw materials, began to prefer belt production substitution, mainly considering the high precision and high consistency of belt production, which can fully ensure the safety in the human use environment, but at the same time, it also puts forward slightly higher strength index requirements, which promotes the potential of the low alloy market.

Civil market
In recent years, due to the promotion of titanium for construction and kitchen utensils, the use of titanium in the civil market has been gradually accepted by people. People have begun to take the proportion of titanium in life as a strength of enterprise publicity. In emerging markets, such as mobile phone cases, laptops, business cards and even business cards, titanium has gradually become a publicity tool and a carrier of information transmission.

Pipe
Ti-3Al-2.5V is mainly used as seamless pipe. The tube can be processed into various crystal directions from radial texture to axial texture. The diversity of Ti-3Al-2.5V texture provides an effective method to improve the properties. Ti-3Al-2.5V was originally developed as a material for welded and seamless pipes. Later, this alloy was also used in some other structures, but at present, the application of pipe is still dominant.
