1. The largest titanium users in the aerospace field are concentrated in western countries, especially the United States. 60% of titanium materials are used in this field. Asian countries, Japan and China have all invested about 10 per cent in the sector. However, with the rapid development of Asian aerospace in recent years, the consumption of titanium in the aerospace field will increase accordingly. From a global perspective, the aviation industry plays a decisive role in the titanium market. Historically, the major cycles of the titanium industry are closely related to the temperature and temperature of the aviation industry.
2. Civil aircraft
(1) reduce structural weight and improve structural efficiency
(2) meet the use requirements of high-temperature parts
(3) meet the requirements of matching with composite material structure
(4) meet the requirements of high corrosion resistance and long life
3. Military aircraft
The development and procurement of military weapons have been developing in a light and flexible direction. In order to meet the requirements of combat performance of fighter aircraft, in addition to adopting advanced design technology, materials with excellent performance and advanced manufacturing technology must be adopted. It is one of the important measures to select titanium alloy and improve the application level of advanced titanium alloy.
Since the 1960s, the amount of titanium used by foreign military aircraft has been increasing year by year. Currently, the amount of titanium alloy used by various advanced military fighters and bombers designed by Europe and America has been stable at more than 20%, and the proportion of titanium used by new aircraft is greatly increasing.
4. car
Reducing fuel consumption and emission of hazardous wastes (CO2, NOX, etc.) has become one of the main driving forces and directions of technological progress in the automobile industry. Research shows that lightweight is an effective measure to save fuel and reduce pollution. A 10% reduction in the quality of a car saves 8-10% in fuel consumption and 10% in emissions.
