The source of titanium metal

2024-01-03

Titanium metal was first discovered by an amateur mineralogist named Gregor in England in 1791. By 1795, German chemist Klaplus named this unknown metallic substance after the Greek god Titans, which is translated as "titanium" in Chinese and English. Titanium is abundant on Earth, with over 140 known titanium minerals. However, industrial applications mainly include ilmenite and rutile, with China's ilmenite reserves accounting for 28% of global reserves, ranking first in the world.
    
Titanium is recognized as a non-toxic element worldwide, with high extraction and production costs and high prices. Due to a series of qualifications such as high and low temperature resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, high strength, and low density, it has become a specialized material for NASA's rocket satellites and has also been applied in China's super projects such as the Yutu, J-20, and Shandong carrier. After entering the civilian field in the 1980s, it became the "Honorary Metal King" in the food industry due to its natural antibacterial and biological properties.
   
China's titanium industry started in the 1950s, and by the mid-1960s, China had built sponge titanium and titanium processing production plants in Zunyi and Baoji, respectively. This means that China has become one of the world's top titanium industry powers. In the 21st century, China's titanium industry has entered a new era of accelerated development, with titanium production capacity ranking among the top in the world.
