Industry for Spaceflight and Navigation
　　 The intensity of titanium and the alloys which are made from titanium are very high of all of metal materials. It has the same intensity as steel products, however, its weight is only 57% of the latter's. Moreover, titanium and its alloys have an excellent heat-resistant capability by which it could still keep good intensity and stability even under high temperature up to 500 Celsius while aluminum and stainless steel will lose their original ability if the temperature rises to 150 Celsius and above or 310 Celsius and above. It’s very applicable to use titanium alloys when planes, missiles, rockets are aviating at high speed. To use titanium and its alloys instead of other metals in plane-manufacturing industry can prolong planes’ life, reduce their weights and promote their aviating capability. So, we can say that titanium is one of the most potential structural materials in the industry for spaceflight and navigation.

Titanium and its alloys are mainly used to produce a plane’s engines and airframe. Generally speaking, its engine needs to be made from a portion of titanium and titanium alloys and its airframe needs to be made from aluminum alloys and if a plane’s Mach number is less than 2. We need to use more titanium and titanium alloys if its Mach number is equal to 2. The quantity of titanium and titanium alloys which need to be produced its airframe will increase considerably if a plane’s Mach number is more than 3.5.

Titanium and its alloys have an excellent cold-resistant capability also. They still have the capability of impingement and anti-shake even though they are in the condition of -250 Celsius. So they are widely used in producing rockets, missiles, spaceships’ engine shells and high-pressure vessels.

Petrochemical Industry

　　 Titanium is mainly used in producing petrochemical equipments in petrochemical industry. It’s rather important to choose suitable making materials for petrochemical equipments. Mechanical performance of Titanium and its alloys is similar to stainless steel. However, their corrode-resistant capability is head and shoulder above the ladder’s. For this reason, titanium and its alloys have been widely used in various forms in producing important petrochemical equipments.

Chemical Industry

Titanium is widely used in many sections of national economy, especially in chemical industry because of its excellent corrode-resistant, mechanical and techniques performance. It can increase output and the quality of products, prolong equipments’ life, decrease materials’ and energy’s consumption, reduce costs, prevent pollution, working condition and promote production efficiency.

The range of using titanium in chemical industry has been widened continually and the quantity has been increased for recent years in our country. It has been one of the most primary erode-resistant materials and has established its important position in chemical industry. Moreover, it has been attached importance to by many engineers and technician.

医Medical Industry

The history of using titanium is only near upon 20 years in our country’s pharmacy, medical appliances and body-embedded area, however, it is a great success and bring out notable social and economic benefits. Northeast pharmacy factory, Shandong Xinhua pharmacy factory and Wuhan pharmacy factory have taken the head in making use of titanium equipments to solve the serious difficulties of eroding equipments and improve medicine’s quality since 1970s.

In recent years, many of domestic pharmacy enterprises have chosen titanium and materials containing titanium, that has established the special position for titanium in pharmacy industry.

Appliances for medical treatment and operation have been developed rapidly in recent years, too. Those which contain titanium as their manufacturing materials are very popular with surgical, ophthalmic doctors, etc. Titanium has another notable feature that it has excellent compatibility with human beings. For this reason, it has been chosen to be the most perfect body-embedded materials. For recent over ten years, many research institutions, medical colleges, hospitals have done a great deal of works and clinic researches and have proved that titanium is the most perfect body-embedded materials at present.

Other Fields

Titanium can be used in producing various kinds of goods with titanium which are very popular with consumers because of its features of light weight, high intensity and easy-oxidation. Spectacles frames which are sold in present markets include ones which are made from pure titanium, TiNi alloys and titanium materials with other materials. Their advantages are corrode-resistant, color-stable and their weights are very light, therefore, they are popular with consumers. Watches which are made from titanium have already been sold in overseas markets. They are made in over ten factories all over the world at present. There are also tailor-made watches for athletes and divers. Furthermore, commodities which are made from titanium include cameras, suitcases, vacuum flasks, seals, earbob, bangles, rings, necklaces and pins, etc.

      Titanium and its alloys have been widely used in producing various kinds of appliances and instruments for sports. They include bats for golf and tennis, ski poles, snow-shovels, sledge, shields for swordplay, fishing gear, track shoes’ crampons for track and field sports.

      Cultural productions which are made from titanium include ball-pens, automatical pencil, card boxes, lighter, knives, tweezers and data-stored apparatuses which are made from titanium and stainless steel.

      Many countries try producing bicycles and racing bicycles with titanium but failed in the early 1970s. With the development of technology, a Japanese company is the first to solve the difficult problem. The weight of a bicycle which is made from titanium is only 40% - 50% of an ordinary bicycle’s while its rim, front fork, flywheel, axle and so on are made from titanium.

      Titanium can be used in industrial arts because of its features of light weight, high intensity, especially its easy-oxidation and easy-coloration. The productions which are made from titanium include sculptures, carvings, cups, tablets, ceramic with a layer of titanium film, etc. The color of titanium dioxide is similar to gold, which brings out excellent decorating effects, while the cost of titanium dioxide is much cheaper than gold, which makes productions fine qualities and low prices. Titanium’s oxidation film has high intensity and stable chemical performance, so it can resist corroding, wear and tear and wash, so its color can keep invariably fresh.
