Abstract

Abstract

This paper systematically summarizes the development history and current situation of China’s titanium industry from the aspects of titanium resource distribution, production and processing, application fields, and distribution pattern of related enterprises. The paper analyzes the current problems of overcapacity and imbalance between supply and demand, the urgent need to optimize industrial structure, the insufficient linkage between upper design and lower industry, the urgent need for technological innovation and industrial upgrading, the dual challenges of resource and environmental constraints, and the dilemma of intensifying competition in domestic and foreign markets. The suggestions and prospects of optimizing cost structure and expanding application field, establishing a new collaborative mechanism of high-quality utilization of titanium materials and a cross-regional innovation platform of high energy level, guaranteeing incentive system to strengthen cooperation mechanism and play the role of strategic hinterland are put forward for the development of titanium and titanium alloy industry in Sichuan and Chongqing region.
- titanium resources,
- Sichuan and Chongqing area,
- 3C field,
- high-quality utilization,
- iterative upgrade
