Titanium is widely used in ordinary people and common life

On April 21, "titanium Expo" was opened in Baoji Convention and Exhibition Center, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. During the three-day exhibition, 188 exhibitors at home and abroad focused on the mainstream trends, gathered industry wisdom, and displayed the cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements and applications of titanium industry.

In the general impression, titanium is often associated with sophisticated aerospace, aviation, navigation and other manufacturing industries. Indeed, as a metallic material with silver gray luster and steel like appearance, titanium is widely used in cutting-edge manufacturing fields, from Shenzhou manned spacecraft and C919 large passenger aircraft in "heaven" to Jiaolong and striver manned submersibles in "sea" because of its mechanical strength close to steel and super acid and alkali corrosion resistance, Titanium products play a key role.

With the continuous improvement of technical means and market demand, titanium products also began to "fly" into the homes of ordinary people from the sophisticated strategic field. Wensheng Wang, President of titanium, zirconium and hafnium branch of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, said that in recent years, the demand for titanium materials in civil and foreign trade markets is showing a rapid growth trend.

From wheelchairs, bicycles and titanium tiles for building roofs to chopsticks and mountaineering locks. At the Expo, BaoTi Group Co., Ltd. brought nearly 100 titanium products. In front of the booth, there was an endless stream of visitors and merchants. They picked up these objects, carefully observed and played, and listened to the booth staff explain the "mystery" of titanium products.

In the view of Lixin Jin, full-time vice president of China Hardware Association, domestic civilian titanium consumer products are more mature than those in foreign countries, and have also cultivated a certain scale of consumer groups that highly recognize titanium products. The next step is to promote functional upgrading and optimize and improve the product line by adapting to the adjustment of industrial structure, While making efforts in miniaturization and characterization, we strive to reduce costs, and finally make titanium products occupy a place in the market.
