1. Aerospace field
The high specific strength and corrosion resistance of titanium and titanium alloys provide a wide range of applications in the aerospace field. As far as the types of valves are concerned, titanium valves are widely used in various pipelines on aircraft, including regulating valves, stop valves, check valves, needle valves, plug valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, etc. The titanium materials used for valves are mostly pure titanium and titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V.
2. Chemical industry
In projects involving strong corrosive media and environments such as chlor-alkali projects, salt production, synthetic ammonia projects, ethylene projects, nitric acid projects, and acetic acid projects, the corrosion resistance of ordinary metals such as stainless steel, copper, and aluminum is difficult to meet the use requirements. Titanium alloys with better corrosion resistance must be used, and titanium valves must be used in large quantities in the control and adjustment parts of the medium delivery pipeline.
3. Ship field
Russia is one of the earliest countries in the world to develop titanium alloys for ships and conduct the most in-depth research. In the 1960s and 1980s, Russia produced a series of attack submarines, including the "Alpha" class submarines with a titanium alloy usage of 3,000 tons and the "Typhoon" class submarines with a titanium usage of 9,000 tons. A large number of titanium alloy pipelines and valves are used in their seawater systems.
4. Nuclear power field
Since nuclear power plants are all built along the coast, titanium valves are used in large quantities in nuclear power projects due to their excellent seawater corrosion resistance. The types include safety valves, pressure reducing valves, stop valves, diaphragm valves, ball valves, etc.
