current situation of chinese titanium industry

1 resources

Titanium resources in China is mainly panxi parts of sichuan and hebei chengde area vanadium titanium magnetic titanium ore, guangdong, guangxi, hainan and yunnan ilmenite placer and henan provinces such as the red rock ore.At present, the reserves of more than 900 million tons of titanium dioxide in table, but in the present technical and economic conditions, can the economic recovery of titanium resources mainly granular stone and rutile titanium, the amount of less than 200 million tons.

2 Scale (capacity, output) and the layout

2.1 titanium sponge production capacity and production
As of the end of 2003, China's titanium CN sponge production capacity is 4000 tons, of which 3000 tons of zunyi titanium factory, fushun titanium plant of 1000 tons.Due to the continuous development of our country in recent years the demand of national economy of titanium, the two factory can full production, in 2003 total output is 4000 tons.

2.2 titanium processing capacity and production
Titanium processing materials mainly depends on the production of titanium ingot production capacity.At the end of 2003, our country has about 60 vacuum since the electricity arc furnace used in the production of titanium ingot.Baoji non-ferrous metal processing plant has 10 tons of furnace, each a 6 tons furnace, 3 tons each two 1 of furnace, furnace, formed the annual production of 6000 tons of titanium ingot production capacity;The Shanghai five steel smelting company has 15 tons furnace, 10 tons of furnace, each one 5 tons furnace, small stove two units, general ability to form the annual output of 5000 tons of titanium ingot;Shenyang non-ferrous metals processing factory has 5 since 1.5 tons the following vacuum arc furnace power consumption, has yearly produces 600 tons of titanium ingot ability;The three 11600 tons annual production capacity of the titanium ingot.
Most of the rest of the 44 units for 500 kg to 1000 kg class vacuum since the electricity arc furnace, the average in each production capacity of 200 t/a, can form a production capacity of 8800 t/a.
In this way, our country basic has the titanium ingot production capacity of 20000 t/a.With 70% can be converted into titanium, basic has a production capacity of 14000 t/a.
According to preliminary statistics, in 2003 China's actual production titanium of about 6000 tons, about 10% of the total world production.

2.3 titanium processing equipment
Thanks to China's national economy sustained and rapid growth, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, vacuum evaporation, bio-pharmaceutical, and other fields of titanium equipment demand.In 2002, 2003, titanium non-standard equipment production is increasing at a speed of more than 30%.In 2003, an estimated 20 or so output in titanium equipment manufacturing enterprises in more than ten million yuan, including nanjing treasure color titanium industry company of titanium equipment production output value will reach $1.7, about 40% more than last year, baoji non-ferrous metals processing factory production is nearly one hundred million yuan.

2.4 industrial layout
At present, the titanium processing and manufacturing of geographically generally exists in a concentrated area of the three.

Baoji centered northwest region.In baoji non-ferrous metal processing plant in this area and its holdings of baoji titanium industry limited company for
bibcock, forming the highest degree of specialization in our country, processing equipment, the most systematic, most specifications of titanium processing and manufacturing base.

In non-ferrous metal processing plant in shenyang, fushun special steel plate co., LTD., shenyang Orient titanium industry co., LTD. Mainly formed the northeast titanium processing and equipment manufacturing group, the region of small and medium-sized enterprises, titanium equipment manufacture are active.

Five steel in baosteel group Shanghai co., LTD., nanjing treasure color titanium industry company, zhangjiagang city grand steel pipe formed the unit such as the Yangtze river delta titanium processing and equipment manufacturing group.The convenient market, open concept is its advantages, is very promising.
