Baoji China titanium valley

Baoji China titanium valley

Baoji is  localed in shaanxi province,  is China's important research and development of titanium and other rare metals production and processing base, after more than 40 years of development, industry, talent, technology, research and development, production and other resource location obvious geographical advantages, has a unique cluster characteristics, relatively complete industrial system, scale of industry agglomeration in fourth place in the world. Look from global competition and the national strategic development needs, relying on the unique good industrial foundation and development of the region advantage, through integration, gather the related resources, strengthen leading enterprises, perfect the industry chain, develop and expand product lines, radiation, driving the development of related industry as a whole, the development of baoji  drive in shaanxi province, west of radiation, across the regional economy and enhance China's comprehensive national strength has far-reaching strategic significance.

 Titanium industry development trend Look from global titanium industry development trend, titanium and its alloys has become a key structure of aviation, aerospace craft material, and in ship, petroleum, chemical, energy, biomedical sciences gained more and more applications, low cost and high performance of new type of titanium alloy and strive to make titanium alloy into civil industry with huge market potential is the struggle in the direction of the world. In terms of production scale, China is in fourth place in the world, the scale by leaps and bounds, second only to the United States, the commonwealth of independent states (cis), and Japan, titanium has a complete industrial system. World titanium sponge production is about 80000 tons in 2004, is about 90000 tons in 2005, by 2008 the world titanium sponge production will reach 125000 tons. According to Japan's advanced materials company, estimates that by 2010 the world titanium processing material market will expand to 150000 tons, the demand of titanium sponge will reach 15-160000 tons.

During the "tenth five-year plan, although four times China's titanium production growth, annual output 10000 tons, still did not change the situation of a large number of imports, imports only 2006 up to 4682 tons. According to the estimate, to the end of the period of "11th five-year plan", China's titanium demand will reach 2.5 to 30000 tons, the demand for titanium equipment industries is growing at more than 30% a year, output and demand before 2010 double-digit growth is a foregone conclusion. Demand growth of the main areas are: (1) the big industry, petrochemical, electric power, hydrometallurgy, caustic soda, vacuum salt making industry) of large size titanium - steel composite board and the needs of large titanium equipment; (2) the aerospace and defense industry demand for high-performance titanium; (3) the ship and ocean engineering requirements; (4) titanium powder with high quality and high performance powder metallurgy titanium products demand.
