Titanium metal related knowledge

1. Source of Titanium
Titanium was discovered as early as 1791 by an amateur mineralogist named Gregor in the UK. In 1795, the German chemist Klaprous named this unknown metal substance after the Greek god Titans, which is translated into "titanium" in Chinese. Titanium is abundant on the earth. There are more than 140 known titanium minerals, but the main industrial applications are ilmenite and rutile. Among them, China's ilmenite reserves account for 28% of the reserves, ranking ..
Titanium is a recognized element in the world. It has high mining and production costs and is expensive. 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 special material for NASA's rocket satellites, and has also been used in my country's Yutu, J-20, Shandong ship and other super projects. After entering the civilian field in the 1980s, it has become the "honorary metal king" in the food utensil industry with its natural antibacterial and biophilic properties.
my country's titanium industry started in the 1950s. By the mid-1960s, my country had built titanium sponge and titanium processing plants in Zunyi and Baoji, which means that China has become one of the titanium industry powers. In the 21st century, my country's titanium industry has entered a new period of accelerated development, with titanium production capacity ranking among the top.
