Description
Summary:The market for Ti non-aerospace applications is attractive and promising in China because of recent rapid economic growth although Ti aerospace applications and production scale are not so big compared with west countries. Non-aerospace applications have shared Ti market above 80% in recent years. Applications of Ti materials in non-aerospace industry have won great many profits, i.e. more than ¥ 100 000 RMB of annual profits and great many of social benefits have been gained from using 1 t of Ti materials on average. All the investments for use of Ti materials will be returned quickly after 2 or 3 years. The paper mainly presents the past, recent and future applications of Ti materials in China. It has briefed the history and present situation for R&D of Ti. It focuses on society and economic benefits from Ti non-aerospace applications.
