Application of titanium alloy material in Chinese nuclear submarine

2020-04-10

Titanium alloy is a very light material, which has small elasticity, high strength, and good heat resistance and corrosion resistance. It is one of the important materials used to manufacture weapons and equipment, and also a relatively common material currently used by nuclear submarines. Both Chinese nuclear submarines and American and Russian nuclear submarines use a large number of titanium alloy materials in their own submarine construction, and the proportion of titanium alloy materials used by each country is greatly different. For example, Russian nuclear submarines like to use a large number of titanium alloy materials, while American nuclear submarines use titanium alloy materials relatively low-key. China is rich in titanium alloy resources and ranks first in the world in titanium iron ore reserves, while the proper use of titanium alloy in nuclear submarines will greatly improve the hardware performance of China's nuclear submarines.


Titanium alloy has a huge advantage for China's nuclear submarines, especially China has made great achievements in using titanium alloy materials. The C919 airliner, cz-5 high thrust launch vehicle, etc. all use titanium and titanium alloy and other key rare metal materials. Titanium alloy is one of the most important materials in weapon manufacturing, which is mainly used to make rocket, missile and other weapon parts or engine, compressor parts. Not only that, it can also be used to make fine parts, and even to make submarines.


All countries in the world are trying to study the casting technology of titanium alloy, but the highest achievement is the United States, Russia and China. The United States has a leading position in this field, but due to the low production of titanium in the United States, titanium alloys are usually used only in key and necessary places. Russia, on the other hand, continued to develop in the field of titanium alloy technology based on the experience of the former Soviet Union in manufacturing several nuclear submarines with titanium alloy. And China, as a country that develops military science and technology later, is not defeated by other military powers. According to records, nearly 20% titanium alloy materials were used in the manufacture of j-20 in China to increase the life of the fuselage.


This is a great weapon for our country, and it will play an important role in the future. It also fully proves that our country has begun to grow stronger in industry and gradually rise in military power.
