Titanium smelting authoritative introduction

With iron, aluminum, like titanium in titanium also showed a positive valence. However, both anatase titanium metal smelting difficult than iron and aluminum smelting. This is not only because of the low levels of anatase titanium, but also because the compounds have to be purified before the smelting of titanium, is more difficult than extracting pure alumina from bauxite. Titanium and lively than iron, titanium positive valence restore it, use a stronger reducing agent than carbon monoxide. How to get elemental titanium grade 5 from titanium smelting it?


After selection of titanium ore enrichment, containing titanium dioxide can get 80% of high titanium slag. The high titanium slag with coke, chlorine were hot, titanium dioxide becomes titanium tetrachloride.


TiO2 + 2C + 2Cl2 TiCl4 + 2CO


The melting point of titanium tetrachloride, are very low boiling point, liquid at room temperature, it is easy to purify. Titanium tetrachloride obtained after purification, purity of 99.9%.


The above reaction is a redox reaction, but the plate titanium valence change in the reaction, that is, the titanium was not reduced. Commonly very active metal (such as sodium or magnesium) as a reducing agent, titanium tetrachloride reduction of titanium. Such as the magnesium metal and titanium tetrachloride at 800 ℃ reaction, can be obtained metallic titanium and magnesium chloride.



Titanium obtained by this method showed a cavernous, called titanium sponge. It baked in an electric furnace made of titanium ingots, for further processing use.

International giants raised the price of titanium dioxide once again

SMM News: Global Titanium Dioxide giant DuPont has announced that from October 1 will increase the global market prices, ranging from about $ 100 per ton. May this year, DuPont has announced the increase of the price of titanium dioxide, since July 1 price increase of about $ 200 per ton. Another giant titanium Connors also raised prices in June, the magnitude of approximately $ 250 per ton. Frequent overseas giants raise prices, or will have a cumulative effect, triggering domestic market resonance.

Zhengbao According to reports, the global giant DuPont titanium plates dioxide will be held October 1 raised prices, Asia and Latin America, and Europe, Middle East, Africa, DuPont titanium dioxide market price increases to $ 100 US dollars / ton, the euro market raised € 75 / tonne. May this year, DuPont has announced the increase of titanium dioxide prices, ranging from about $ 200 per ton, June giants Connors also appeared in another titanium dioxide price increases.

While the first two overseas giants did not raise the domestic market with the price rise, but the industry believes that the demonstration effect of the price increase will bring more than ever before. Mainly for two reasons: First, the domestic titanium dioxide market is selling season, shipments of enterprise better business situation has improved; the second is tighter environmental policy, it was reported that the ministry is currently working on the titanium material dioxide industry pollutant prevention policies NDRC also developing energy titanium dioxide industry standards, help control the supply capacity.

The domestic market, due to enter the season, titanium boom to pick up, some companies raise prices for nearly a week in the 200-300 yuan per ton. Currently rutile titanium dioxide tax prices 13000-14500 yuan / ton, anatase titanium dioxide tax prices in 11200-12500 yuan / ton. Enterprises, business forms significantly improved in the third quarter, a substantial increase in shipments.

This year, glyphosate, spandex and other chemical dyes and strong varieties, both followed the supply contraction and stable downstream demand boom brought about by increased logic that is expected to repeat itself in the titanium dioxide industry. Specifically, environmental policy has been gradually reflected tighter, Chongqing Titanium illegal discharge of pollutants exposure, raising great concern, resulting in some production can be shut down. Ministry of Environmental Protection is currently being developed titanium dioxide industry pollutant prevention policies, the National Development and Reform Commission is developing energy standards titanium dioxide industry, the future introduction of environmental policies will further tighten supply. On the other hand, the market demand for the emergence of new highlights, in addition to traditional paint applications, flue gas denitration catalyst exhaust gas treatment brought about by the demand began to rise, institutions predict will bring new demand 422,400 tons of titanium dioxide, effectively alleviate titanium supply and demand.

Overall, due to the manufacturers to limit production and tighter environmental policy, titanium flat bar dioxide industry supply and demand situation had improved, the demonstration effect of price increases brought about by overseas giants, domestic titanium dioxide prices still have room for improvement.

Titanium screws used bike

Titanium gives the impression that "light and hard." Keen lightweight riders tend to have replaced all the screws of titanium alloy plate alloy was satisfied. Titanium give some people the wrong impression, expensive and rare, in fact, titanium is one of the more abundant on earth burial abundant element.
Only because refining alloy production cost is very high, the price was expensive.
Titanium light weight, high strength, and high corrosion resistance of materials, usually used in a special environment.
After the addition of aluminum, vanadium (Li.V) in pure titanium, the alloy strength improved significantly.

Titanium mechanical properties:
Alloy Name Tensile strength (MPa) Endurance (Mpa) Elongation (%) E (GPa)
6Al-4V Ti (TC4) 980 920 14 110

Titanium products advantages:
Light weight, far more than the strength of steel, aluminum, lightweight and can produce high-intensity parts, such as screws class does not rust, titanium rod hardly etched in the general environment.
Riding feeling good, titanium is also used in the shock absorber spring. Now the frame made of titanium are suitable for long ride. Some riders love titanium frame that sense excellent ride. But individuals vary, and some people think that comparison chrome-molybdenum steel, chrome-molybdenum steel frame shock absorption better than titanium frame, riding feeling is better (shape it and chromium molybdenum steel frame than titanium rod for sale frame and thin The stress of the tube to get the increase is also relevant). If processing technology has been further improved titanium tube, there may be riding the same sense and chromium molybdenum steel.

Titanium industry will be strong in emerging industries

   We ride in the aircraft engine is relatively high titanium alloy. Like American combat aircraft, it sometimes titanium content is about 70 to 90 percent of the total weight, strategic bombers have titanium content of about 40 to 50%. We drive a BMW sport utility vehicles and other high-level luxury cars, engines are titanium alloy, it makes the car worth double. The average car is made of titanium can not afford. It is expected that with the technology upgrade titanium smelting industry, energy saving, with the decline in the price of leaving the next ordinary car engine can also be affordable titanium material. Titanium engine car to run over 1000 km in a row after its performance is still good. It is foreseeable that contain titanium car engines from ordinary people is not far away.
    More than 99.6% pure titanium applications in areas such as medical equipment, and titanium products, titanium teeth, titanium bone it is known, due to the blending of titanium with human bones and almost the same weight ratio. The purity of the titanium in the body do not corrode, is the best choice for artificial bone. Titanium is used in a lot of areas that people are most concerned about, like titanium clubs, foreign production of titanium bike, titanium sheet metal roofs, titanium kitchenware, senior watch casing, TV,
stereo, camera parts, titanium in civilian areas is growing.
     Welding titanium outer foreskin is more titanium sheet metal cladding, it is because there is such a blanket in the middle of metallic iron or alloy will not rust. In addition to these civilian titanium, the titanium being human space development plays an irreplaceable role in Europe's "artificial sun" US "moon project", China's investment in 3600 is likely in the future of manned spaceflight and common technologies ~ as much as 900 billion yuan. There are data show that after 2020 the United States will invest $ 104 billion to establish a permanent base and the development and exploration of Mars, the moon, it is possible to absorb the funds of other countries to participate. These do not include the other countries of the Moon and Mars and other planetary exploration program. Thus may indicate titanium and other metals and rare application increases.
     Nuclear power will increase significantly the amount of titanium. There are 442 nuclear power plants around the world, the United States and 106 show would go on to build dozens, France 57, Britain 27, Russia, Japan and other countries of more than a thousand seats, China's nuclear power supply only 2.3 of the total electricity supply about% in 2020, China will build 27 nuclear power plants, will likely cost several hundred billion dollars. Which is a huge amount of titanium, zirconium and hafnium also include the amount of metals such increase.

The use of titanium metal prospects

Titanium is widely used in traditional areas of bleach, paint, paper and other industries, after processing the titanium plate suppliers used in aerospace, military and other fields of high-end. With the improvement of the performance requirements of the steel, and titanium alloy applications, in-depth study and popularity, the future prospects for the use of the two materials is very broad.

As a rare metal vanadium, vanadium alloys are mainly used to improve the properties of steel. Meanwhile, there has been in the vanadium battery United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and other commercial wind power is applied to energy storage, solar energy storage and power peaking. Can be expected, with the rapid development of new energy battery technology matures and vanadium, vanadium battery is likely to predominate energy storage market, will further increase the demand for vanadium.

First Capital analyst Zhang Wenfeng steel industry believes that if national priorities exploitation of vanadium and titanium resources identified ideas for vanadium and titanium industry, undoubtedly a major good news. Currently, vanadium and titanium in a share market listed companies in the upstream business, not many, mainly vanadium and titanium foil supplier * ST segment (000,629) based. Vanadium pentoxide its own industry, vanadium oxide, vanadium iron, high vanadium iron, vanadium nitride, and other products, while the titanium industry has a titanium ore, titanium dioxide, high titanium slag, titanium and other products.

China vanadium and titanium resources are disorderly development

Chinese vanadium titanium resources due to become a byproduct of steel smelting was disorderly development, as many of China's iron ore fine vanadium and titanium ore often contains a large amount of vanadium and titanium resources, but there is a 'vicious circle' is its price is low ordinary mine, due to the extensive mode of production, many small mills with a very low price purchase such as iron ore, vanadium and titanium resources for no effective recycling, not only caused great waste of resources of vanadium and titanium, but also to the environment caused tremendous pressure.

In fact our large reserves of vanadium and medical titanium plate resources. According to statistics, currently the world's reserves of about 159.8 million tons of vanadium, which accounted for 46 percent of South Africa, Russia and the former CIS countries accounted for 23.6%, US 13.1%, China 11.6%, 6% less than the sum of the other countries. The basis of the world's titanium reserves of about 1.77 billion tons, accounting for more than 37 percent of China's. Reporters learned of vanadium and titanium resources are mainly distributed in Sichuan and Hebei Chengde Panxi, which Panxi vanadium-titanium magnetite resource most abundant resource of 618 million tons, accounting for about 95% of the country, accounting for 35% of the world.

"Although China is a big country of vanadium and titanium wire resources, but in recent years the issue of industrial development is also very prominent." An industry source said, in which the contradictions accumulate vanadium and titanium resource development and extensive development of the industry have become increasingly prominent, mainly in the non-standard resource development recycling resource level is not high, investment overheating tendencies, unreasonable product structure and so on.

"From a technical point of view, domestic vanadium and titanium recovery technology through decades of development, although vanadium, titanium mention, but still lagging behind Russia and other countries, technology can only be used in low-end products." Beijing Antaike analysis division said in interview, "Economic Information Daily" interview.

Another industry veteran who also admitted that at present a considerable part of the business continued to show a state of disorder on the vanadium and titanium rod stock resource development, no matter how large or small and medium enterprises, qualified or not qualified to see the resources on the development of business, some companies development process, do not pay attention to the production process and technical processes, product quality and resource utilization are not guaranteed, pollution of the environment is relatively large.

How to distinguish between titanium alloy doors and aluminum doors?

Titanium is added to the titanium-based alloy other alloying elements called titanium. Titanium has a low density, high strength, corrosion resistance, good process performance, etc., is an ideal material for aerospace engineering structures. Titanium and titanium plate alloys can be divided into structural heat titanium, titanium alloy or α, β-type titanium alloys and α + β type titanium alloy. Scope of the study also includes forming technology of titanium alloys, powder metallurgy technology, rapid solidification technology, titanium and other military and civilian.


Aluminum is made ​​of aluminum by adding some alloying elements, such as aluminum - manganese alloys, aluminum - copper alloy, aluminum - copper - magnesium-based hard alloy, aluminum - zinc - magnesium - copper based hard alloys. Aluminum is better than aluminum physical and mechanical properties: easy processing, high durability, wide application, good decorative effect, rich color. Aluminum into rust-proof aluminum, hard aluminum, super-hard aluminum and other types of various types have their own range, and have their own code, for users to choose.

Titanium alloy doors and aluminum doors should be in accordance with the following method to distinguish between:


1, the titanium-based alloy is added to other elements of the alloy known as titanium sheet metal. Titanium has a low density, high strength, corrosion resistance, good process performance, etc., is an ideal material for aerospace engineering structures.

2, aluminum is aluminum made by adding some alloying elements such as aluminum - manganese alloys, aluminum - copper alloy, aluminum - copper - magnesium-based hard alloy, aluminum - zinc - magnesium - copper based hard alloys. Aluminum is better than aluminum physical and mechanical properties: easy processing, high durability, wide application, good decorative effect, rich color. Aluminum into rust-proof aluminum, hard aluminum, super-hard aluminum and other types of various types have their own range, and have their own code, for users to choose.

3, aluminum remains the characteristics of the light, but the mechanical properties improved significantly. Use aluminum alloy material has the following three aspects: First, as a stressed member; the second is as doors, windows, pipes, caps, shells and other materials; the third is used as decoration and insulation. After the use of aluminum anodized features can be colored, made of various decorations. Aluminum plates, profiles can be surface corrosion, ginning, painting, printing and other secondary processing, made of various decorative plates, profiles, as a decorative material.

Technical characteristics of titanium anode

     Titanium anode is composed of ruthenium, iridium, tantalum, titanium and other precious metal salt is applied to the substrate by high temperature sintering, widely used in electroplating (PCB industry demanding hole copper plating, gold plating), electrolytic synthesis, hydrometallurgy, aluminum foil into, cathodic protection, sewage treatment, sanitation and disinfection, copper etching solution regeneration and recycling, preparation and application of titanium anodes has been quite mature.


   1, high current, high efficiency, excellent corrosion resistance, long life electrodes, a high current density;


   2, high catalytic activity, Mox iridium coating titanium spring wire anode is a low oxygen evolution overpotential electrode, oxygen evolution at the anode oxygen evolution easier. Therefore, when the electrolytic cell voltage is relatively low, more power is conserved. This phenomenon after treatment alkaline copper foil, it has been clearly manifested;


    3, no pollution, is a precious metal ceramic coated titanium anode oxide, which is a very stable oxide, almost insoluble in any acid, and the oxide coating of about 8-12μm, therefore no MMO titanium anode electrolytic liquid medium will cause pollution;


    4, the anode less maintenance, increased productivity, lower labor costs.
