Titanium tube in various industries
1. Titanium tube in military applications
A typhoon-class nuclear submarine, titanium tube in the military industry is under a very wide range of uses. Nuclear powered submarines, hydrofoils, mortar barrel, anti-tank missiles, missile launchers, tank protection panels, bullet-proof vests and other large amount of titanium tubes. Depending on the information, the volume of titanium pipe is as high as 9,000 tons. This shows that there are a huge demand for titanium pipe by the military.
2. Titanium tube in aerospace applications
Titanium tubes for civilian aircraft account for about 2025% of the frame weight. In addition, a large number of titanium tubes are also in strategic rocket engines and spacecraft (such as Shenzhou VI and Shenzhou VI) satellite dishes. Titanium tube is widely used in the aviation industry.
3. Titanium tube in the marine industry applications
Titanium tube with other metal materials cannot compare the corrosion resistance, especially in seawater high-speed erosion of seawater. At present, the United States, Japan, France and other countries have developed a variety of advanced titanium controlled submersibles, submarines, subset laboratory devices for marine research. In addition, the coastal power plants, offshore oil production equipment, desalination, marine chemical production, marine aquaculture and other widely used titanium control equipment and devices.
4. Chemical applications
Equipment types have been small, single development of large, diversified. According to the chemical sector is expected that the current application of titanium tube equipment from the initial soda ash and caustic soda industry "for the entire chemical industry. The chemical industry's annual titanium pipe will exceed 1,500 tons. After the 20th century, after the 7080s, State Vacuum Salt Enterprises gradually began to use titanium tube metal materials manufacturing equipment, the results of equipment corrosion greatly improved.
5. Oil refining applications
The corrosiveness of sulfide, chlorides and other etchants in petroleum processing products and cooling water, the atmospheric and vacuum condensing equipment of the depressurization tower during the refining process of petroleum refining equipment, especially the low-temperature gas oil, has become a problem that has plagued the refining industry One of the prominent issues. In recent years, the United States, Japan and other countries to titanium control equipment into these extreme corrosion areas, and achieved good results.
6. Automotive Applications
Titanium tubes have served in racing cars for many years and the lightweight, high-strength titanium tubes have long been the subject of concern for automobile manufacturers. At present, almost all of the cars are composed of titanium tubing. Japan's titanium tubes for automobiles have already exceeded 600 tons. With the advance of the global automobile industry, titanium tubes for automobiles are still rapidly increasing.
7. Medical applications
Implantation of metal into the body is a very rare surgical procedure, with the advancement of medical technology. Due to the titanium tube metal with the rejection of human tissue weak reaction is currently widely used in artificial bones, artificial joints, artificial teeth and other human implants have been widely utilized. In addition, the titanium tube in the pharmaceutical machinery, medical equipment applications has been further understanding of the future demand cannot be underestimated.
