The Chinese titanium industry are faced with the problem


After 55 years of development, the development of China's titanium industry has been impressive, but compared with the United States, Japan and Russia, the Chinese titanium industry or latecomers, especially since the financial crisis deepened, more highlights the defects of titanium industry in China.
 
(1) the industry concentration is not enough
 
Abroad at present, only seven titanium sponge factory, in addition to the Ati companies in the United States in recovery and reconstruction titanium sponge factory production capacity of 7000 tons/year, the other six titanium sponge factory production capacity is over 12000 tons/year, of which Russia avis joint enterprise of titanium magnesium (VSMPO - AVISMA) of production capacity of 38000 tons/year.And our country in 2008, a total of 13 titanium sponge factory, only zunyi titanium factory is a production capacity of 14000 tons/year, more than 300 of titanium processing materials enterprises in China, only treasure titanium group a of output reached 10000 tons/year, is more serious, many small and medium-sized enterprises in China are mostly follow suit on the project, the medium market competition is intense.
 
(2) the lack of substantial organic connection between upstream and downstream enterprises
 
Around the world, the titanium industry in close contact between upstream and downstream industries, such as foreign enterprises mainly titanium sponge and titanium processing enterprises have investment participation agreement between or long-term supply agreement, which constitutes the titanium sponge production and sales channels, to the retail market of titanium sponge is less than 20% of production.In China, almost entirely controlled by the market mechanism, production and marketing of titanium sponge titanium sponge price increases, China is the highest, up to 300000 yuan/ton, titanium sponge price cuts, China the most malicious, down to about 40000 yuan/ton.Titanium market changes, such as on a roller coaster, the impact on the industry is too big, caused great waste of investment.
 
(3) titanium smelting of energy conservation and emissions reduction a difficult task
 
Chinese titanium smelting technology really made great progress, and even in some individual technology is a world leading level (e.g., 12 tonnes have steamed furnace technology), but overall still has gap with the advanced world level, such as Japan titanium sponge power consumption of about 20000 KWH/t, and the whole process of titanium sponge enterprises of China's power consumption about 34000 KWH/tons, power consumption about 50% higher than Japan.
 
In addition, there are some enterprises to adopt ways to produce sponge titanium, half process and process technology in the quality of titanium sponge, overall level of emissions, and is more difficult to control in the cost of production.
 
In the huge resources under the premise of guaranteed, China's titanium industry production process wastewater zero emissions, titanium smelting and other environmental protection low carbon energy saving and emission reduction measures, will help enterprises to further expand the market, to better utilization of mineral resources.This is a kind of sustainable development of "low-carbon thinking" mode.Has the resources advantage more in need of "low carbon thinking".
 
(4) titanium processing there are still major defects and technical bottlenecks
 
In recent years, titanium processing industry in China has made great progress.A high level of casting production line, quick forging production line, composite board production line and the isothermal forging production of money will indeed our titanium processing level up a lot of class.However, there is still a very big "defects" in our country, such as titanium and its alloy material, titanium and titanium alloy welded pipe, large diameter pipes, the manufacturing of items such as large titanium castings.Development of the situation and are in urgent need of the Chinese titanium industry make up the "defect", to fully meet the needs of the development of national economy.
 
3. The world titanium will promote the Chinese titanium industry progress
 
Titanium will be held in China in the world, enabling us to close for the first time to understand and found that the technology world titanium industry development present situation, from the introduction of the latest titanium technology and research and development of the world, she will greatly promote and accelerate the technological progress of titanium industry in China.
 
Worldwide, we will focus on the further development of new titanium alloy (such as Ti, Al), to expand the application of titanium in the aerospace sector, further development of advanced processing technology, such as almost (net) forming technology of titanium, titanium to expand in the field of high-end applications;To further reduce the cost of titanium and its alloys, in order to expand the application of titanium in the car and the application of titanium in the daily life.
 
China's large aircraft program (large and universiade), chang 'e project, tracking station plan, nuclear power plant project, ocean engineering, ship building, offshore oil exploitation and water desalination, etc.) and all the departments of the national economy of China's sustainable development of titanium and its alloy materials put forward higher quality and larger quantity requirements.Therefore, efforts to improve the quality of titanium products, and strive to develop titanium, titanium and its alloy extruded tube and profiles such as new products, to meet the needs of national construction, is the primary task of the Chinese titanium industry.
 
The 12th world titanium titanium will help China improve research level, to improve the status quo of the application of titanium, titanium implementation science and technology progress, is also an excellent opportunity we understand international counterparts.
