golden valley of China's titanium industry?

How can Baoji, with zero resources of “titanium ore”, become the “golden valley” of China's titanium industry?

Baoji does not have any “titanium ore" resources, but Baoji  has gathered more than 500 titanium material production, research and development and manufacturing enterprises ”out of nothing“ to create a well-known titanium valley in China all around world.Nowadays, “titanium", which is blooming everywhere in various industries, has become a “sweet potato” industry that many cities across the country are scrambling to develop.

Even so, under the strong impetus of the “two-carriage carriage” of Baotai Group and Northwest Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, Baoji is still unique in the development of advanced structural materials, titanium and titanium alloy-related industries, and it has a taste of “it has been imitated and has never been surpassed.” Taste. Therefore, as the most professional, authoritative and largest titanium expo in the titanium industry in China, the permanent venue of the Titanium Expo is located in Baoji. Some foreign entrepreneurs continue to say, “Going to Baoji to participate in the Titanium Expo is a pilgrimage for the titanium industry.”

The vast majority of China's identified reserves of titanium ore resources are distributed in Sichuan and Hebei, accounting for 92% of the country's total identified reserves of titanium ore resources. Because titanium is widely used in aviation, aerospace, ships, weapons, biomedicine, chemical metallurgy, marine engineering, sports and leisure fields, it is known as “space metal” and “strategic metal”. The level of development of the titanium industry has become an important symbol of a country's comprehensive strength. At present, only four countries in the world, the United States, Russia, Japan, and China, have mastered the complete titanium industry production technology. In this regard, Baoji Titanium industry has contributed greatly well.

However, the foundation of Baoji Titanium industry was not built overnight. For more than 40 years of reform and opening up, Baotai Group, as the originator of Baoji Titanium industry, has successively undertaken more than 6,000 trial production tasks of new materials for national defense, military industry and cutting-edge technology, and successfully completed a number of national key scientific research projects. Through secondary entrepreneurship, institutional reform, and technological innovation, this “old third-tier” enterprise has now jumped into the world's “innovation first-line” large enterprise group.

Under the leadership of Baotai Group, many private enterprises in the titanium industry have opened branches and scattered leaves in the fertile soil of Baoji Titanium industry, and flowers are blooming. A complete product chain from “sponge titanium—titanium ingots—titanium processing materials—titanium alloy materials—titanium composite materials to titanium deep processing products” .which has been formed. Today, Baoji titanium production accounts for than 95% of the domestic high-end market, More than 60% of the country's production, and more than  22% of the world's production. The scale of industrial  ranks first in the country and second in the world. The number of patent applications for titanium industry clusters has increased at a rate of 10% for eight consecutive years, and the number of patents in the titanium industry ranks first in the country.

Established in 2019 with a registered capital of 30 million yuan, Baoji Western Titanium Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise engaged in the processing and sales of rare metal materials with titanium as its core. The company integrates traditional and modern concepts, takes it as its mission to lead the domestic titanium and titanium alloy manufacturing technology, and relies on standardized management, excellent quality, high-quality service, and first-class reputation to serve customers, and make due contributions to the development of China's titanium industry.

It can be said that Baoji has handed over a satisfactory “transcript” for the development of China's titanium industry. However,The world of today is undergoing profound technological changes, affected the production methods, processed technologies, application fields and  product patterns of the titanium industry. Cultivating new economic growth points and seizing the commanding heights of titanium industry science and technology have become a major trend in the world's development. It is also pinned on the fact that if the Baoji titanium industry is to maintain a leading position domestically and internationally, it must make great efforts in the fields of scientific and technological research and development, industrial structure, processing technology, talent reserve, and market construction. At the same time, it must create industrial synergy, innovation chain, and industrial chain integration and development to form a 100 billion international titanium industry cluster, and promote the better and faster development of the titanium industry in Baoji and even the whole country!
