(Summary description)In the earth's crust, titanium reserves are second only to iron, aluminum, and magnesium, ranking fourth. Because titanium has the characteristics of high melting point, small specific gravity, high specific strength, good toughness, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, good high and low temperature tolerance, and low stress under rapid cold and hot conditions, its commercial value is in 20 It has been recognized by people since the 1950s and has been used in high-tech fields such as aviation and aerospace. With the continuous promotion to chemical, petroleum, electric power, seawater desalination, construction, daily necessities and other industries, titanium metal is increasingly being valued by people, known as "modern metal" and "strategic metal", and it is indispensable to improve the level of national defense equipment. Important strategic materials.　　 There are two important indicators to measure the scale of a country's titanium industry: sponge titanium output and titanium material output. The sponge titanium output reflects the raw material production capacity, and the titanium material output reflects the deep processing capacity. At present, the titanium industry has formed five major production and consumption entities in China, the United States, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Japan and Europe. 　　 China's titanium industry started in 1954. After 55 years of development, great achievements have been made. China has become the world's largest titanium industry country. Before 2001, China's production of sponge titanium was 2500 tons per year, accounting for only 3% of the world's total titanium production. However, by 2008, China's production of sponge titanium was 49,632 tons per year, accounting for 30% of the world's total production of titanium, ranking first in the world in one fell swoop. Before 2001, the output of processed titanium materials in China was 2500 tons per year, accounting for only 5% of the world’s total titanium output. By 2008, the output of processed materials in China was 27,737 tons per year, accounting for 20% of the world’s total titanium output. %, exceeding the output of European titanium processed materials. 　　 In 2009, China's titanium industry was hit by the international financial crisis, and demand shrank, especially in the international market. On the other hand, driven by the country's 4 trillion investment, domestic demand gradually rebounded. But in general, 2009 was an adjustment year for China's titanium industry. China's production of sponge titanium was 40,785 tons, and the production of titanium processed materials was 24,965 tons. 　　In the long run, the demand outlook for titanium remains bright. With the gradual advancement of economic development and technological progress, the application of titanium continues to expand. From the initial aerospace to the chemical metallurgy and sports and leisure industries, the demand for titanium will continue to grow rapidly in the next ten years.
