Titanium Alloy building

2021-03-26

• Metal materials are used in buildings, especially in roofs. Copper is first used. Surface treated steel plates, aluminium, stainless steel and titanium are developed in turn. With the sustained development of national economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for urban buildings, especially for the aesthetics of buildings, are getting higher and higher. In recent years, architects have sought to use more advanced new building materials than traditional materials. Titanium metal has many excellent properties, which fully meet the many special performance requirements of building materials, so it is favored by architects and construction industry.

  
  

  Japan is the first country to apply titanium to buildings, and it is also the country with the largest application of titanium in buildings. It is mainly used in the roof of buildings, curtain walls, ports, bridges, tunnels, exterior walls, doorplate, railings, pipes and so on. Britain, France, the United States, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Belgium and Switzerland all have examples of using titanium metal as roof and curtain wall in buildings. Sweden, Singapore and Egypt have also begun to use titanium metal in some new buildings. In 1997, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, used titanium plates to construct curved surfaces. Abu Dhabi Airport also uses titanium, which uses hundreds of tons. It is the first airport in the world to use titanium as building materials.

  
  

  China first proposed the application of titanium metal building is the National Grand Theatre, the first application is the Hangzhou Grand Theatre. Titanium-based buildings include the entrance hall of China National Nonferrous Engineering Design and Research Institute, the First Pavilion of Linping East, Hangzhou, the roof of Shanghai Circus Acrobatic Stadium and Dalian Saint-Asia Polar World. The titanium sculpture "Dolphin and Man" in Riverside Park of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, the titanium sculpture "Qian Kun Ball" in Xingtai City Center Square, Hebei Province, and the titanium sculpture "Rooster Dawn" in Baoji City Pedestrian Street, Shaanxi Province are used for urban sculpture.

  
  

  In recent years, with the progress of global oceanization and the falling price of titanium raw materials, the demand and application scope of titanium in the field of construction and decoration are constantly expanding. It is expected that the demand for titanium materials in the construction and decoration industries will reach more than 5000 tons in the next few years, and the demand for titanium materials in marine engineering and island construction will reach more than 5000 tons. The amount of titanium used in shipbuilding industry will exceed 5000 tons. However, there is no Titanium Material Manufacturing Enterprise specializing in building decoration in our country. It is only simple to apply industrial materials in the civil field, which is far from the market and industry demand. It is urgent to establish specialized production lines to meet the various professional needs in this field.
