Powder sintering became one of the key research technology of titanium alloy

Titanium alloy is a kind of important structural metallic materials developed in the 1950’s, has excellent comprehensive
performance. The material has characteristics like small density, light weight, heat resistance, corrosion resistance,
flexibility, good elasticity and forming process etc.

Aerospace industry is the biggest consumer of titanium, titanium alloy production has very close relationship with the
aerospace investment. Nearly in ten years in the 1990’s, an application for a patent falling back. Since 2000, the titanium
alloy related patent quantity appeared obvious growth trend. “On one side, this shows that titanium alloy has potential
research space, on the other hand, is has great relationship with our country in recent years, strengthen the related research
in the field of titanium alloy.” Document information center of Chinese academy of sciences researchers Chen said.

Most analysis data shows that the technology of titanium alloy is held in Japan (41%), China (22%), the United States
(14%) and Russia (8%) of the four countries, the subtotal takes 85% of the global patent.

According to introduction, the main application of titanium alloy includes powder metallurgy, memory alloy, melting
alloy ingot, hot dip coating, turbocharger, golf clubs, titanium magnesium alloy, titanium, manganese alloys, hydrogen
storage alloy, etc. Key research involving technology including powder sintering amorphous alloy, corrosion resistance,
surface treatment, technology, etc.
