Titanium materials are widely used in various industries and sectors

Titanium material because of its affinity to oxygen is particularly large, can generate a layer of dense oxide film on the surface, can make the titanium element is not subject to the medium, so it is particularly strong corrosion resistance. In most aqueous solutions, a passivated oxide film can be formed on the surface of Ti. Titanium in acidic, alkaline, brine solutions due to the generation of passivation oxide film, so it has good stability, corrosion resistance than stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals are good, because of the excellent corrosion resistance and affinity of titanium materials, in many industries have been widely used.

1. Chemical industry
Titanium has good stability in all kinds of acid, alkali and salt media. For example, the use of titanium anode and titanium wet chlorine gas cooler in chlor-alkali industry has good economic results.

2. Petroleum industry
Titanium material in organic compounds, has a very strong stability. Therefore, titanium material is an excellent structural material in petroleum refining and chemical industry, which can be used to make various titanium heat exchangers, titanium reactors, titanium high-pressure vessels and titanium distillation towers.

3. Metallurgical industry
(1) Titanium is an active metal with good inspiratory performance and is an excellent degassing agent in the steelmaking industry. Titanium can precipitate oxygen and nitrogen in the cooling of the combined steel, which can make the steel tough and elastic.
(2) titanium in the acid solution containing metal ions has good corrosion resistance and stability, so titanium electrolytic plate in the hydrometallurgical industry, such as copper, nickel, cobalt, manganese and other non-ferrous metal electrolytic production, has a very wide range of applications.

4. Fertilizer industry
Urea is an important chemical fertilizer, under the condition of high temperature corrosion is very strong, the use of titanium equipment can make its equipment life greatly increased, maintenance time greatly reduced. Therefore, the equipment in urea production uses titanium equipment.

5. Desalination and shipbuilding
The ability of titanium to resist seawater corrosion is very good, whether in stationary or high-speed flow seawater titanium has special stability. Therefore, titanium is the ideal material for seawater desalination plant. Titanium is an ideal structural material for shipbuilding industry because of its strong corrosion resistance to sea water and sea air, high strength and light weight.

6. Electric power industry
Titanium has good stability in many corrosive hot water containing chloride, sulfide, etc. After replacing copper nickel alloy tubes with titanium tubes, the service life can be greatly improved, the maintenance time can be reduced, and the economic effect is very remarkable.

7.The health care industry
Medical titanium material can resist the corrosion of human body, and is harmless to human body. It has good biocompatibility and good comprehensive mechanical properties. Therefore, it is widely used in medical device and pharmaceutical industry, as well as human implants.
