Abstract
This planery paper reviewed the progress of titanium research, development, applications and industry in China during the past four years since the Ti-2015 conference in San Diego. Including additive manufacturing, material genome engineering technologies, low cost titanium and short manufacture processing, powder metallurgies and near net shape fabrication technologies, applications in marine, gas and oil exploitations, as well as consuming products. And the industry situation in China has also been reviewed.
Highlights
In the past four years after Ti-2015 conference in San Diego, Chinese titanium research activites keep a very active situation, especially in additive manufacture technology, new alloys development and process optimization using material genome engineering technology, low cost titanium technologies, powder metallurgies and near net forming technologies and so on.Additive manufacturing technologies have been developed very fast during the past four years, for the very large products(the largest one can be more than 6000mm) manufactured by powder feeding, and for the complex and precise structures products manufactured by powder bed
Some of the productions have been used in the C919 airplane and other key equipments
Some new additive manufacturing technologies have been developed in China, such as arc additive manufacture, additive/decrease manufacturing etc
Summary
In the past four years after Ti-2015 conference in San Diego, Chinese titanium research activites keep a very active situation, especially in additive manufacture technology, new alloys development and process optimization using material genome engineering technology, low cost titanium technologies, powder metallurgies and near net forming technologies and so on. The titanium industry of China is remained relatively stable during last four years, and by the end of 2018, the capacity of sponge titanium is 107 thousand tons, and the output of sponge is about 75 thousand tons. For the four years, the capacity of sponge and ingot will keep stable or increase slightly due to the new factory setup, and the output and consuming will be increased about 10-20% because of the expanding applications in marine and other consuming goods, especially in kitchen accessories and daily life products
