The amount of titanium in the metallurgical industry dominates in the civil industry, and it is mainly used in hydrometallurgical equipment for non-ferrous metals. Hydrometallurgical process is generally at a certain temperature, pressure, with acid, alkali and various chemical solvents to dissolve the ore. The equipment used, such as leaching process of leaching tank, autoclave, mixing device, filtration process of filtration sieve plate, pumps, valves, titanium pipeline, electrolysis process of electrolysis electrode titanium plate, heat exchanger and smoke machine, dust collection equipment, flue and so on. These equipment for a long time touching acid, alkali, chemicals and a variety of corrosive gases, fumes and dust, at a certain temperature is susceptible to corrosion and mechanical abrasion, so these devices are often used in stainless steel or acid-resistant enamel, lead plate, rubber lining and acid-resistant coating materials. However, these materials in the corrosion resistance, temperature resistance, pressure resistance and abrasion resistance, there are certain shortcomings, can not meet the needs of the development of hydrometallurgy, resulting in a number of new technologies, such as high-pressure acid leaching, ferric chloride leaching, etc., can not be used in industrial production. What's more, the equipment made of the above raw materials is difficult to process and has a short repair cycle. More accidents, solution fumes run, bubbling, dripping, leaking serious. Formation of metal loss, high cost, poor labor conditions, product quality reduction. The top of the metallurgical industry with titanium equipment can extend the service life of the equipment, enhance labor productivity, improve product quality, extend the equipment repair cycle, save repair costs, reduce pollution to the environment, and can simplify the equipment. Simple operation, enhance the mechanization and automation of the process. Titanium in the metallurgical industry is used in: corrosion-resistant containers, titanium electrolysis tanks, reactors, concentrators, separators, heat exchangers, coolers, a variety of pumps and valves, turbine blades, articulated piping, fittings and so on.
Metallurgical Industry of China . Titanium for copper, nickel, cobalt, lead, zinc and other exercise, electrolysis cathode seed plate, heater, cooler, reactor, cathode roller, molybdenum exercise of high pressure, kettle copper mine turbulent cooling tower, coking plant dust catcher as well as pumps, valves, fans, titanium piping and so on. Other dry battery raw materials of manganese dioxide electrolysis, also choose the metal titanium anode. Practice shows that the use of titanium in these areas, the production is feasible, technically advanced, the economic effect is remarkable.
The high cost of titanium alloy restricts its wider promotion and application, the new technology of powder metallurgy in the preparation of titanium alloy has the advantages of high material utilization, low energy consumption, high economic efficiency, thus reducing the cost, and is the only way to produce certain shapes of complex parts. At the same time, the use of high-quality, low-cost titanium powder so that titanium powder metallurgy products have been better development, such as titanium injection molding, laser forming and other powder metallurgy products have been in the civil industry has grown significantly. We believe that injection molding, laser molding, temperature pressure molding and other powder metallurgy technology will be more widely promote the development of titanium powder metallurgy industry.
