Walking into Hunan Xiangtou Jintian Titanium Metal Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xiangtou Jintian"), in the busy industrial workshop, machines roar incessantly, and workers skillfully control the equipment; on the production line, a roll of titanium raw materials has been precision machined and gradually transformed into gleaming titanium and titanium alloy rolls and plates. These high-quality products will be widely used in aviation, aerospace, warship, chemical, nuclear power and other fields, the product footprint all over the world.
Since its establishment in 1996, Xiangtou Jintian Group has established China's first-class titanium industry platform in Xiangjiang New area of Hunan Province in more than 20 years, and quickly completed the course of more than 70 years of global first-class titanium enterprises. At present, Xiangtou Jintian insists on independent research and development, accelerates the process of "1" to "10" products, and promotes the high-quality development of China's titanium industry.
Leading the Party Construction and stimulating the Source of Innovation
If the party building is prosperous, the enterprise will be prosperous, and if the party building is strong, the enterprise will be strong. Since its establishment, the party committee of Hunan Investment Jintian has adhered to the integration of party building work and business, transforming the advantage of party building into the competitive advantage and development advantage of the enterprise, and providing a strong ideological, political and organizational guarantee for the company's high-quality development.
In 2007, with the spirit of "dare to be the first", Xiangtou Jintian bravely took the first step to build the titanium industry and create the first steel-titanium joint model in the central and southern region, creating a milestone in China's titanium industry. Led by party building, Xiangtou Jintian innovated from three aspects of system, technology and products, bringing together a group of experts from the titanium industry and iron and steel industry to jointly overcome the "card" neck problem in the production of titanium strip coil.
"the first trial rolling was done jointly with Valin Lianyuan Steel. After more than 30 times of simulated trial rolling, we made a major breakthrough in key technologies, and finally succeeded in one trial rolling, rolling out China's first large heavy and wide titanium strip coil with independent intellectual property rights. " Yang Youzhi, general manager of Xiangtou Jintian Titanium Gold, recalled.
The birth of this model not only marks the completion of the development and industrialization of "large-weight, wide-width titanium strip coil and thin-walled titanium welded pipe", but also breaks the foreign technical monopoly and blockade. It has solved the problem of "neck jam" of China's high-performance titanium strip coil and titanium welded pipe, and changed the history of China's inability to produce titanium strip coil and long-term dependence on imports.
If you keep moving forward, you can go further. Xiangtou Jintian is not complacent because of this. They understand that only through continuous innovation can they be in an invincible position in the fierce market competition. "in the field of high-performance titanium strip coil, the company has occupied the advantages of quality and market, and has become a supplier to the world's leading enterprises." Yang Youzhi shared.
Accept a wide range of talents and draw on the fountain of wisdom
Xiangtou Jintian is one of the few national "specialized and new" small giant enterprises with a complete titanium industry chain in the world, with R & D technicians accounting for more than 30%. In the past two years, Hunan Investment Jintian aims at the major strategic needs of the country, combines its own advantages, undertakes the project of "unveiling the list" in tackling key technological problems in Hunan Province, and jointly promotes the development of ultra-wide, medium and heavy plate products with Xiangtan Iron and Steel Group.
This technical research lasted nearly a year, and the Xiangtou Jintian project team overcame the technological problems such as poor shape, surface cracking and poor uniformity of titanium and titanium alloy wide and thick plates. The mass-produced 3000 mm ultra-wide titanium alloy sheet has flat shape, good surface and uniform structure.
"the use of ultra-wide titanium alloy plates in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing can effectively reduce welds and improve the reliability and stability of equipment, which is of great significance for China's exploration of deep-sea, deep-space and other strategic areas." Introduced by Yang Youzhi.
Relying on the industrial cluster advantage of Hunan Province's "national important advanced manufacturing highland", as well as the policy and talent support provided by Xiangjiang New area, the company focuses on the "one body and two wings" market and develops the development strategy of "four super" products. Continue to cultivate and enhance the capacity of the corresponding plate. Among them, "one" refers to titanium strip coil, "two wings" are: 3C and military products, and "four super" are ultra-thin, ultra-soft, super-strong and ultra-wide.
In the spring tide of deepening reform, Xiangtou Jintian accurately adjusts the product structure with keen market insight and excellent strategic vision, showing a strong momentum of development. From 2021 to 2023, the high-performance titanium and titanium alloy tapes of Xiangtou Jintian Titanium Co., Ltd. continuously broke through the 5,000 tons and 6,000 tons mark. Monthly output also successively broke through the 500-ton, 600-ton and 700-ton mark.
Global layout, broaden the scope of development
"We have made an in-depth study of the market and made more breakthroughs in overseas markets. at present, sales in overseas markets account for 30%, which has basically formed 1:1:1 in the industrial chain, outside the industrial chain (China) and outside the industrial chain (abroad)." Yang Youzhi introduced the current situation of the company's global layout.
In 2023, Xiangtou Jintian made a major breakthrough in the international market and successfully signed a thousand-ton order in the American market, which will be supplied in bulk this year, which not only achieved a zero breakthrough in the market, but also further enhanced the popularity and influence of Xiangtou Jintian titanium alloy coil in the international market. At the same time, the company has also successfully developed AF and other international well-known enterprises, laying a solid foundation for the company's high-quality development.
In order to further expand the international market and deepen the cooperative relationship with global strategic customers, Peng Dan, chairman of the company, personally led the foreign trade team to Europe for business exchanges in December 2023. During this period, Xiangtou Jintian and important strategic customers such as Siemens further deepened the strategic cooperative relationship between the two sides.
"the national navigation, aviation and aerospace industries are all in the stage of rapid development, and it is a good time for a large number of titanium materials. This is a sunrise industry and the prospect is very promising." When it comes to the future development of the industry, Yang Youzhi is full of confidence.
Looking for new breakthroughs and innovations to realize the great dream of a manufacturing power and a marine power, Xiangtou Jintian Titanium Gold will continue to contribute to China's solutions on the "titanium" stage.
In February, the energy consumption of titanium dioxide production of Anada Company reached a new low after hitting a record low in the first month. Among them, power consumption decreased by 2.47%, natural gas consumption by 2.32%, water consumption by 1.69%, steam consumption by 0.93%, and standard coal consumption by 1.69%, setting an all-time high. At the same time, the average daily output of titanium dioxide pre-treatment reached a new high in February.
