The
titanium family consists of three major members (tri-titanium) : conventional titanium alloys, ti-al intermetallic compounds, and ti-based composites. Conventional titanium alloys are in bloom, ti-al intermetallic compounds are in bloom, and ti-based composites are in bud. From the perspective of application and maturity, it is still in a unique state of "constant titanium", but people get enough confidence from the "spring" and "budding" : the era of three titanium competing is coming. Cao chunxiao, a member of the Chinese academy of sciences, said at the 2015 Shanghai international BBS conference on aerospace materials and manufacturing technology.
In the United States, titanium's biggest use has always been in aviation, followed by nuclear power. On the other side of the world, after 60 years of development, especially since the 21st century, China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of titanium. Currently, chemical is ti's biggest user in China, followed by electricity and aviation.
"These three users will form a" three male titanium "situation, the future variable is not small. Cao chunxiao thus concluded that the future of China's titanium industry layout direction.
It is well known that the improvement of aero-engine performance is largely realized by adopting new structures, new materials and new technologies. Liu daxiang, an academician of the Chinese academy of engineering, pointed out that materials and manufacturing technology contribute about 50 to 60 percent of the improvement in performance, reliability and thrust-to-weight ratio of modern advanced aero-engines.
