Titanium sponge, packaging and storage

In the production process of titanium to toxic chemical medium chlorine (chemical weapons in World War II oh) and noble metal magnesium, and the reaction process requires a lot of energy, which is why titanium expensive. The smelting process oftitanium is not to be used for production, because it is porous shape, resembling asponge, called titanium sponge, titanium alloy pump will be placed in vacuum consumable electrode arc furnace smelting titanium ingots, plates, rods, tubes and for other formsof titanium production. Titanium is rich in resources, mineral resources are relatively concentrated, converted into TiO2 total reserves of 90 million tons, is the first in the world. The main distribution of titanium ore, the reserves accounted for 35% of the world's total reserves. However, compared with the world's major mineral producing area, natural Jin Hongshi (TiO2) less resources, easy exploitation of placer less.Titanium, titanium iron ore more symbiotic, smelting high initial cost. Here also need to refer to a story, the original iron and steel smelting steel slag after stacked in a cornerfor a long time to climb, we did not find this kind of slag inside unexpectedly containprecious metal titanium. Later proposed to buy our slag, concrete truth that make our national attention on the Panzhihua Iron and steel slag, of course rejected japan.

titanium sponge industry started in twentieth Century 1954 50 years, non-ferrous metalbegan to research on the preparation of sponge titanium, titanium metal as thestrategy on the 12 year development plan, in 1958 in the industrial test of spongetitanium, founded the first titanium sponge production workshop, at the same time,non-ferrous metal processing plant was established the first titanium processing material trial production workshop. Before and after 1980, the titanium spongeproduction reached 2800 tons, but because most of them were lack of knowledge on the titanium, titanium pumps high prices also limit the application of titanium, titanium processing material production is only 200 tons, titanium industry in trouble.
