The amount of titanium used in China's new generation military aircraft has increased significantly.
From the point of view of the whole world, as modern military operations require more and more weapons and equipment, the materials used in the equipment are updated with the replacement of aircraft. The traditional military aircraft mainly steel, then gradually replaced by aluminum steel, and added
titanium alloy and various composite materials.
According to the statistics of the journal of nonferrous metals, the latest generation of military aircraft not only significantly increased the amount of titanium alloy, aluminum lithium alloy and carbon fiber composite material ratio is also further increased, to form a further replacement of ordinary aluminum alloy and steel.
In terms of the amount of titanium used, the use of China's latest fourth-generation fighter aircraft has more than doubled compared with that of third-generation, third-generation and half-generation fighters. This means that China's demand for military titanium alloy will double even if the number of military aircraft produced each year remains unchanged.
