Made in Guizhou 丨 Zunyi Titanium Industry: Empowering with technology and leading with titanium

Zunyi Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. is a full-process production enterprise integrating the production, processing and sales of titanium sponge, and belongs to the national high-tech industry. In recent years, the company has taken market orientation as the starting point, empowered new production capacity in the titanium industry, and provided high-end titanium in multiple fields. Product applications range from aviation to daily necessities, further promoting the high-quality development of the titanium industry chain in Zunyi City.

In Zunyi Titanium Co., Ltd., more than 200 monitoring screens can be seen on the central control screen of the production dispatch command center, and multiple indicators can be controlled remotely. The workshop production line is continuously producing a variety of high-quality products.

Zhang Lvguo, chief engineer of Zunyi Titanium Co., Ltd., told reporters that the company mainly produces high-quality titanium sponge, which is mainly used in aviation. The main requirement for quality is packaging density, which must reach the standard of less than 1.5 grams per cubic centimeter to meet market requirements.

Sponge titanium has always been the main basic material in aerospace, aviation and other industries. As the market changes, downstream companies have higher and higher quality requirements for titanium sponge products. To this end, the company has exerted its subjective initiative and independently developed a 12-ton production process and equipment for preparing titanium sponge by inverted U-type reduction-distillation combined method per furnace, solving problems such as production efficiency and production quality.

Zhang Lvguo said that this reduction and distillation process is a core process in the production of titanium sponge and requires supporting processes to achieve full-process production. The related processes include magnesium electrolysis process, chlorination process, and finished product process. These processes can be connected to each other and jointly complete material transmission and production. It is a relatively efficient and economical production method.

In order to increase the added value of products, the company pays close attention to the deep processing of titanium and accelerates the high-quality development of the basic material industry. It now has an annual output of 10,000 tons of metallic magnesium, 24,000 tons of sponge titanium, and 45,000 tons of titanium tetrachloride. Production capacity, can provide the market with various basic materials such as high-end titanium sponge, high-purity titanium powder, and titanium alloys, realizing the application of titanium products such as aerospace to daily necessities, and further enhancing the company's competitiveness in the high-end titanium sponge market.

In the past three years, the company's cumulative R & D investment has exceeded 100 million yuan, and strives to reach 5.0% to 5.5% of the company's operating income in 2024. Up to now, Zuntai Group has carried out 13 scientific and technological research projects and has 229 patents.
