The petrochemical and chemical container equipment manufacturing sector is a traditional application area for titanium-steel composite plate materials, where their usage has consistently been the highest. Titanium offers excellent stability in various acidic, alkaline, and saline environments found in the chemical industry. Additionally, titanium-steel clad plates are indispensable in petroleum refining and chemical plants. Titanium's unique corrosion resistance to substances like chlorine dioxide, chlorous acid, and chlorite makes these composite panels particularly valuable in bleaching equipment for the textile printing, dyeing, and paper industries.
Titanium and its alloys exhibit outstanding resistance to seawater, chloride solutions, and fluid erosion. In salt production, using titanium-steel composite plates for evaporation chambers effectively reduces corrosion, prevents salt buildup on the evaporation tank walls, extends the production cycle, improves salt quality, and significantly lowers equipment costs for salt plants.
Seawater Desalination: In the field of seawater desalination, titanium and its alloys are ideal due to their exceptional resistance to corrosion from seawater and chloride solutions, as well as fluid erosion. Additionally, titanium is non-toxic and harmless, making titanium-steel composite panels a perfect choice for seawater desalination equipment.
In nuclear power equipment manufacturing, thick cladding (cladding thickness of ≥8mm) and large-width titanium-steel clad plates (with a single sheet area of ≥20m²) are the primary materials used for condenser tube sheets. There is a significant demand for these materials, and they have a very promising application outlook due to their unique properties and durability.
Titanium-steel composite panels are also utilized in bleaching treatment tanks in paper mills and in the harsh sodium hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid treatment tanks found in sewage treatment plants. Titanium is favored for its excellent corrosion resistance, minimal ion dissolution in seawater environments, non-toxic nature, and lack of environmental pollution, making it the preferred material for marine structures.
Titanium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in flowing seawater, making it an ideal anti-corrosion material for marine structures. Currently, there are two methods to utilize titanium for this purpose: the first involves creating composite cladding materials by combining titanium sheets with organic anti-corrosion materials; the second method uses titanium-steel composite plates, which are clad and welded onto new constructions. Titanium-steel clad plates have been in use for over 40 years, primarily in applications such as condenser tube plates. Additionally, their use in marine civil engineering is starting to gain traction, presenting new opportunities. These clad plates effectively leverage the superior corrosion resistance of titanium along with the strength of steel, providing an optimal balance of performance and cost. There is significant potential for further development in this area in the future.
Titanium-steel clad plate has excellent corrosion resistance and strength and is an ideal material for the manufacture of equipment in corrosive environments. With the continuous improvement of the production process of titanium-steel clad plates, the application of titanium-steel clad plates will be more extensive and common.
Titanium-steel clad plates offer exceptional corrosion resistance and strength, making them ideal for manufacturing equipment used in corrosive environments. As production processes for titanium-steel clad plates continue to improve, their applications are expected to become even more widespread and common.
