Titanium alloy is a class of metallic materials widely used in various high-performance applications. It is a combination of titanium with other elements, such as aluminum, nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium, to enhance the properties of pure titanium.
One of the key advantages of titanium alloys is their high strength-to-weight ratio. They are significantly lighter than steel while being just as strong, making them ideal for aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. Moreover, titanium alloys possess excellent corrosion resistance, which makes them highly suitable for marine, offshore, and chemical processing environments.
In addition, titanium alloys exhibit good biocompatibility, which makes them suitable for medical implants such as artificial joints, dental implants, and pacemaker cases. They also have high fatigue resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent weldability.
Overall, titanium alloys have become an essential material in many industries, including aerospace, marine and offshore engineering, chemical processing, biomedical engineering, and sports equipment. As research continues to advance, it is expected that more innovations in the field of titanium alloys will arise, paving the way for even safer and more efficient applications.

The imbalance of the tool structure means that the tools and demands produced are not correct. For example, the user needs a large gap in the carbide tool, but the high-speed steel tool is over-manufactured; the high-efficiency cutting tools urgently needed in the modern manufacturing industry have large gaps, but the low-grade standard tools are over-produced.
In developed countries, cemented carbide tools currently occupy the leading position of tools, with a proportion of 70. High-speed steel cutters are being reduced by 1 to 2 per year, and the current proportion has fallen below 30. The proportion of super hard tools such as diamond and cubic boron nitride is about 3.
China currently produces about 80,000 tons of high-speed steel annually, which accounts for about 40 percent of the world's total production, and consumes a large amount of valuable rare resources such as tungsten and molybdenum. This kind of blind expansion and low-level repetition has resulted in a large surplus of high-speed steel cutters and has to be sold at low prices, which has resulted in a large number of tool-manufacturing companies having low efficiency.
China currently has an annual output of 16,000 tons of cemented carbide, which also accounts for about 40 of the world's total production. However, the highest added value of cutting inserts in cemented carbide products is only 3,000 tons, accounting for only 20. This situation, on the one hand, led to insufficient supply of cemented carbide tools that are urgently needed in the country. On the other hand, the precious carbide resources have not been fully utilized.
In terms of economic efficiency, China's annual sales revenue of cemented carbide is about 560 million U.S. dollars; Japan is only 40 percent of China's output, but sales revenue is as high as 2.633 billion U.S. dollars, of which blades (tools) have a high proportion of 72, making full use of resources. The company also gained good results. China's tool industry should get some useful inspiration from it.
China's current annual sales of tools is 14.5 billion yuan, of which the proportion of cemented carbide tools is less than 25, which is not only far from the structure of international market tool products, but also can not meet the growing demand for carbide tools in the domestic manufacturing industry. Among the cutting tools for domestic manufacturing, the proportion of cemented carbide tools has reached more than 50. The problem of disconnection between supply and demand structure has been very serious. The consequence is that a large number of high-speed steel tools that are surplus are exported at a low price or sold domestically. At the same time, high-performance hard alloy cutting tools are Relying on large amounts of imports, imports have increased from 0.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2001 to 450 million U.S. dollars in 2005 (about 3.6 billion U.S. dollars).
