Titanium material in the application of the ocean

In the building of the ship and ocean engineering equipment, in addition to steel, known as "sea" of metal titanium and titanium alloy have been given more and more attention of society and the application.Titanium and titanium alloy for its good seawater corrosion resistance, high specific strength, good impact resistance and excellent characteristics of plastic forming property and processing performance, is increasingly attracting attention of shipbuilding.
Currently, titanium and titanium alloy in the ship and Marine engineering equipment in China has more application of titanium in Russia, the United States, Japan and other countries of the technology is relatively mature, our country needs to further accelerate the speed of the ship and the tooling spare the pace of development and application of titanium and titanium alloy, in order to enhance the development level of ship and Marine engineering equipment in our country. titanium cn
In recent years, with the development of ship and Marine engineering equipment industry in China, Marine applications of titanium and titanium alloys in our country has made great progress.Because of titanium and titanium alloy has its own features, to make it on the ship, and the application of Marine engineering equipment has unique advantages, and therefore is widely used in nuclear submarines, DSV, atomic icebreaker, hydrofoil, hovercraft, minesweeper, propeller and sea water pipe, condenser, heat exchangers, etc.For example, China's "harmonious" deep-sea manned deep-sea manned spherical shell material is titanium alloy, the United States, Japan, Russia and other countries the manned vehicle spherical shell material is titanium alloy.In addition, the titanium also has no magnetic, can improve the detection equipment and tools of magnetic disturbance resistance, reduce the magnetic field effect of physics equipment and equipment, increase the concealment, improve welding quality and production efficiency, which makes its potential applications in ships further be excavated.In seawater desalination and coastal power plants, because our country current market demand is huge, desalination and coastal power station at reduced cost of titanium alloy and further improve product quality stability, titanium will be very broad application prospect in the market.

The titanium and titanium alloy has very many advantages, but for application in ship and ocean engineering equipment, also belong to a kind of new material.Expert proposal, in order to promote the titanium and titanium alloy in the future to achieve further development, the ocean engineering should be included in the titanium special national new material development, establish a titanium alloy materials used in ocean engineering and technology research, application research and evaluation platform, vigorously promote the leap-forward development of titanium material used in ocean engineering, improve the technological level of Marine engineering equipment, the upgrade and development;From national level to promote Marine engineering especially ships with titanium equipment design criteria, technical system, application of technical standards and specifications;Vigorously develop low cost titanium alloy production technology, optimizing and perfecting our country's Marine titanium alloy system, establishing database of Marine performance of titanium alloy, for titanium and titanium alloy used in ocean engineering materials provide a rich data support.
