Metallic materials used in buildings, especially roofing, are first applied with copper, and then developed with surface treated steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and
titanium. With the continuous development of national economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standard, people have higher and higher requirements for urban buildings, especially for the aesthetics of buildings.
In recent years, architects have sought to use new building materials that are more advanced than traditional materials. Titanium is favored by architects and the construction industry because it has many excellent properties and can meet many special requirements for building materials.
Japan was the first country to use titanium in buildings and the largest number of titanium applications in buildings.
It is mainly applied to the roof of the building, as well as the curtain wall of the building, port, bridge, tunnel, exterior wall, door plate, railing, pipeline and so on. Examples of titanium roofing and curtain walls have been found in buildings in Britain, France, the United States, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Belgium and Switzerland, and countries such as Sweden, Singapore and Egypt have also started using titanium in some new buildings.
