The application of titanium

1. The application of titanium in military: Titanium has a very wide application in military industry. Nuclear powered submarines, hydrofoil, mortar tube, anti tank missiles, missile launchers, tank protection plate, bulletproof vest and so on all use the titanium. According to information, a nuclear submarine has the amount of titanium up to 9000 tons, which show that the military needs a lot of titanium.
2. The application of titanium in aerospace: Titanium is widely used in the aviation industry, the use of titanium for civil aircraft accounts for about 20 ~ 25% of the weight of the frame. In addition, the strategic rocket engine, the spacecraft (such as the Shenzhou five, Shenzhou six), artificial satellite antenna and so on all use a lot of titanium.
3. The application of titanium in marine industry: In sea water, titanium has the corrosion resistance with which other metal materials can not be compared. At present, the United States, Japan, France and other countries have researched all advanced submersible, submarine and sea lab device which are made of titanium to research the ocean. In addition, coastal power plants, offshore oil production equipment, desalination, marine chemical production, marine aquaculture, etc. are widely used in titanium equipment and devices.
4. The application of titanium in chemical engineering: Currently the application of titanium equipment has extended from the initial "soda and caustic soda industry" to the whole chemical industry, the kinds of equipment have been developed from small and single to large and diverse. It is expected by the chemical industry that the chemical industry uses the amount of titanium exceeding 1500 tons every year. After 1970s--1980s, Chinese vacuum salt making enterprises gradually began to use titanium metal material manufacturing equipment, the corrosion of the equipment have been greatly decreased.
5. The application of titanium in automobile industry: The performance of light and high strength of titanium has already been concerned by the automobile manufacturers. The application of titanium in the racing car has lasted many years , and the racing car has almost used the titanium. The titanium used in Japanese cars have been more than 600 tons, with the development of the global automotive industry, the amount of titanium used in cars will have a rapid increase.
