Aircraft Can't Fly Far Without Titanium Alloy

Because the low density, high strength and the excellent high and low temperature resistant performance of the titanium bar and titanium alloy. The titanium and titanium alloy is the indispensable structure materials of military industry. American F-22 fighter can long time of supersonic cruise flight, the key is to reduce body weight in the case of ensuring their own strength, just only the lightweight solid titanium alloy can meet this target. The advanced fighter planes can't fly far without titanium.

While in the Navy, titanium alloy can help the submarine into the sea bottom and will not be extrusion deflated by the strong hydrostatic. For example, complete with Russia's "Serra" nuclear submarine can dive to a depth of 600 meters, this makes western submarines very awe-inspiring. Of course, it is also known as the "goldfish" because the large-scale use of titanium alloy caused the high costs. In addition, the titanium is nonmagnetic, so the warship made of titanium alloy can effectively against magnetic mines, and has high anti-corrosion ability.

American global security center responsible person John Parker said that the next 10 years, titanium alloy shortage will become an important factor restricting the development of the global high-tech weapons, it will be the" material crisis" since the steel shortages in the World War II.

So around the world, only America, Russia, Japan and China that there are two complete systems of titanium mine, metallurgical processing, and the equipment manufacturing of titanium, as well as the scientific research, design and application. The processing technology of titanium in America and Japan gets perceptible growth, and there are relatively rich mineral resources in Russia and China. Ironically, American can produce a sufficient number of F-22, F-35 fighter, which actually depends on its "imaginary enemy"--Russia and China.

In fact, alloy related to titanium, tungsten, molybdenum such as tungsten molybdenum alloy, TZM alloy, etc. are widely used for F13, F15, F17, F18 military fighter recently as for its high properties such as high melting point, high strength, wearing resistance, etc.
