Chinese titanium industry started in the 1950s. In 1956, our countries regarded the titanium as a strategic metals on the 12 years of development planning, in 1958 our country realized the sponge titanium industrial test in fushun aluminium plant, establishing China's first titanium sponge production workshop, In the 1960s to 1970s, under the unified state plan, our country had established more than 10 titanium sponge production enterprises represented by Zunyi titanium factory of enterprises, the construction of the represented by baoji non-ferrous metal processing plant several titanium processing enterprise.
In around 1980, titanium sponge production in our country had reached at 2800 tons. However, due to the titanium high limit the promotion and application of titanium, titanium processing of material production is 200 tons, only the titanium industry in China. In this case, the state department was established in July 1982, the national leading group for titanium application promotion across ministries, co-ordinate the development of titanium industry, contributed to the 1980 s and early 90s a good situation of stable and rapid development of titanium industry in China.
At present, there are still some problems in the titanium industry in China. Reporters made a system carding in terms of the internal problem from the China Economic News through months of investigation.
First, the titanium product quality still has some defects. The titanium product quality deficiency is displayed in two aspects: low titanium quality and the high quality sponge titanium production smaller proportion. Data show that the zero degree titanium sponge production ratio is 40%, Japan and Russia in the production of zero degree titanium sponge proportion is 70%; 2009 zunyi titanium factory production of "95" sponge titanium production was 1000 tons, accounting for 8% of its total production to 10%, Russia's production of "95" the proportion of titanium sponge is between 30% and 30%; Our country can't batch production of "90" titanium sponge, Russia's production of "90" the proportion of titanium sponge is 20% to 30%, Thus, the small proportion of our high quality sponge titanium production. Titanium processing material quality defects. From the industry, according to feedback information in titanium processing materials is the main problem batch is not stable, surface defect and the quality has deviation
Secondly, part of the titanium product varieties are significant lack of items. In recent years, the international offshore oil mining using large titanium extruded tube trend is quite obvious, but at present, our country cannot produce large extrusion profiles and pipes. In 2008, our country also imported the titanium raw material processing 6000 tons, with imports of titanium welded pipe 3322 tons, import about 1000 tons of titanium sheet. This is because the single titanium products in China, some products can't production. Most of titanium products and projects in China are tracking abroad, rarely independent innovation products. For example, in the field of sports leisure titanium dosage is very large, titanium on the necklace and other recreational commodities abroad application is also very active, and our country is do processing or gradually tracking abroad; More varieties of alloy materials in our country, but the lack of systematic study of some kind of new material. In other words, our country independent research and application of new alloy system data accumulation is not enough, this is a gap of the system.
In addition, the titanium industry in China at present there exist the problem of excess production capacity. Discovered in baoji in an interview with reporters, baoji titanium processing enterprise product is still in a low level, few high-tech and high value-added products. Some small private enterprises have blindly follow suit phenomenon. So it caused some projects a repeat of the horse, excess capacity. Titanium smelting, for example, after three years of rapid growth, baoji titanium private industrial smelting capacity of producing titanium and titanium alloy ingot 3 to 50000 tons of production capacity. But under the influence of the international financial crisis, demand excess capacity,some smelting enterprises equipment shut down, some enterprises face the survival crisis. Titanium ingot production throughout the year for smelting capacity only 30% to 40%. As the competent department of baoji city bureau of industry and many deep titanium processing enterprises to research, to guide private titanium processing enterprises, encourage titanium smelting area to develop in the direction of large-scale high-tech.
