The Application and Prospect of Titanium Alloys in Low-altitude Economy

With the rapid development of technology, the low-altitude economy is gradually becoming a new economic growth point. The rise of low-altitude transportation vehicles such as flying cars and unmanned aerial vehicles has provided a broad application space for high-performance materials such as titanium alloys. The research report of Everbright Securities points out that titanium alloy plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of flying cars, especially in key parts such as the fasteners of the aircraft body, where its demand proportion is as high as 0.27%, far exceeding that of other materials.

As a new type of transportation vehicle that integrates the characteristics of both cars and aircraft, flying cars have extremely strict requirements for materials. Titanium alloy, with its characteristics such as light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, has become an ideal material for manufacturing flying cars. In addition to the fasteners of the aircraft body, titanium alloys are also widely used in key parts of flying cars such as engine mounts and landing gears. These components have extremely high requirements for the strength, rigidity and corrosion resistance of the materials.

In the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, titanium alloys are also widely used. The fuselage structure of the unmanned aerial vehicle is made of titanium alloy, which can significantly reduce weight, improve flight efficiency and endurance. In addition, titanium alloys are also used in the manufacturing of components for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) engines and propellers. These components need to withstand high temperatures and the erosion of corrosive gases during operation, and titanium alloys are the best choice to cope with these harsh environments.

Looking ahead, with the vigorous development of the low-altitude economy, the demand for low-altitude transportation vehicles such as flying cars and unmanned aerial vehicles will continue to grow, which will drive the demand for high-performance materials such as titanium alloys to keep increasing. Meanwhile, with the continuous advancement of technology, the production cost of titanium alloys will gradually decrease and their performance will be further improved. This will enable titanium alloys to be applied in more fields and provide strong support for the prosperous development of the low-altitude economy.

In addition, the titanium alloy industrial chain will achieve closer collaborative cooperation, and a more complete industrial chain system will be formed in all links from raw material mining, smelting to processing and manufacturing, application development, etc. This will help enhance the overall competitiveness of the titanium alloy industry and promote the sustainable development of the low-altitude economy.

In conclusion, titanium alloy, as a key material in the low-altitude economy, will play a more significant role in the future. With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of the market, titanium alloys will be more widely applied in fields such as flying cars and unmanned aerial vehicles, making significant contributions to the prosperous development of the low-altitude economy.
