China Titanium Valley: accelerating the transformation of green path

2011/5/6 17:45:43

  The strong wind of ecological environment remediation has made industrial enterprises that fail to meet the environmental protection standards "stop" or "finish class". However, enterprises that have always done their "environmental protection homework" and adhered to leading technology show the advantages of green development in this round of remediation. The reporter recently visited the titanium enterprises in the high tech Zone and found that Baoji, as the "China Titanium Valley", has focused on seeking transformation breakthroughs in the fields of high-end application manufacturing and intensive processing of titanium and titanium alloy industry in recent years. It has become a new trend for titanium products to enter the sea, output at a high level, and participate in global division of labor and cooperation.

  Transformation: early layout can pre empt

  Under the background of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the requirements of industrial transformation and upgrading are urgent and rapid. Enterprises that stagnate in the low-end field or even "slow speed" are easy to be eliminated; Those enterprises that adjust their layout in advance seem to have switched from "small boats with strong wind resistance" to "large ships with strong wind resistance", which has opened a new development model.

  In the high-tech zone with a large number of titanium enterprises, it holds 60% of the supply of titanium materials and titanium products in China. In order to continuously maintain the first position in the scale of titanium industry in China, industrial innovation and development is the only way.

  In recent years, the high tech Zone has encouraged enterprises to increase the research and development of new products, expand the application scope of titanium and titanium alloy, and move forward to the high-end field and "titanium for people's life". The annual titanium industry alliance conference is an ideological exchange meeting and industry prediction meeting, from which many enterprises find suitable ways to turn quickly and not blindly.

  Titanium alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, far more than magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy and high-strength steel. It is a good structural material. When applied to bicycles, it has the advantages of high strength and light weight, but it is very difficult and costly to process this material. Baoji Eurasian chemical equipment manufacturing plant is the first enterprise to set foot in the production of titanium alloy bicycle frames and accessories in China. According to Lei Xiaojun, the person in charge of the enterprise, in the past, the production of titanium alloy bicycles was mainly in European and American countries. The price of a low-end titanium alloy bicycle was more than 10000 yuan, so it was their main direction to let domestic consumers buy bicycles with high cost performance. Since more than 20 years ago, the enterprise has begun to introduce technology and talents in many links such as material selection, machining, welding and surface treatment. Relying on the high-quality raw material processing foundation of BaoTi and the enterprise's own product processing strength, it has forged the ability to approach precision manufacturing in the annual material optimization and technological improvement. At present, the enterprise has become the largest manufacturer of titanium alloy bicycle frame in China, and they began to get involved in the production of rotorcraft. It is the manufacturer of the world's first titanium alloy rotorcraft frame.

  The industry pays attention to the accumulation of technology, and it has never been easy to achieve it overnight. Titanium enterprises linger in the low-end field, which not only consumes a lot of energy, imposes a heavy burden on the environment, but also has no competitive advantage; The enterprises that began to adjust the layout early, from equipment update to talent introduction and technological innovation, took the lead in exploration and attempt, and constantly obtained new production experience in exploration, so as to become more and more mature. Baoji Yixin Titanium Co., Ltd. has cooperated with tot al company, one of the world's top 500 companies, since 2012. It mainly supplies seals for deep-sea drilling. In a few years, they "jump up and pick peaches", carefully pick the quality from more than ten links such as smelting, cutting and grinding, and carry out all-round technical transformation. Finally, it meets the strict requirements of customers. The enterprise has entered the fast lane of development.

  Investment: Welcome high-quality development after "labor pains"

  To sing the "green development song", we should not only "low frequency" consume resources, but also "high frequency" superposition of technologies. Only if we are willing to invest and endure the "pain", can we realize the change of survival mode. Baoji Boxin metal materials Co., Ltd. removed the heating boiler and replaced it with electricity, eliminated the backward old rolling mill and heating furnace, and adopted the pollution-free metal material treatment process. After such treatment, the energy saving reached 24%, the power consumption decreased by 17%, and there was no waste gas and wastewater discharge.

  After spending millions of yuan on the transformation of the equipment, we have to abandon the path of grabbing the market in the low-end field and produce high value-added products with better technology. According to Han Weidong, the person in charge of Boxin company, they have been exploring the development of 3D printing material spherical powder in recent five years. Since this technology is still in the stage of technical blockade in the world, Boxin's research team began to develop from the perspectives of manufacturing equipment development and smelting technology update three years ago, and the trial production of light titanium materials "burned" more than 400000 yuan. After repeated tests, the fine powder rate of spherical powder has increased from 5% to 70%, the production efficiency has been greatly improved and the cost has been greatly reduced.

  Baoji topda Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. has eliminated polishing machines, grinding machines without dust removal facilities and welding machines without smoke collector, and newly purchased new environmental protection equipment with environmental protection certification and environmental protection qualification. The radial casting production line they introduced from Austria is the largest production line in Northwest China, which can mass produce TC4 titanium alloy thick wall pipes. Wang Yongjin, the person in charge of the company, said: "in recent years, our technicians have continuously optimized the material model, studied the material ratio and process parameters, so that the performance of titanium alloy thick wall pipes is stable and the quality is reliable, which has won the trust of European customers." It is precisely because of the continuous research and trial production of the enterprise that this process has won the national invention patent.
