LB Group's Jiaozuo Vanadium Project Starts, Aims for 1.767B Yuan Annual Revenue

[SMM Titanium Express] Ningbo Institute of Materials research reveals dual effect of deep-sea hydrostatic pressure on titanium passive film: initial high pressure accelerates film growth for better protection, but long-term pressure induces local crystallization of amorphous film into metastable TiO phase, with grain boundaries becoming ion channels that weaken self-healing ability. This provides theoretical support for composition optimization and surface protection design of deep-sea titanium alloys

[SMM Titanium Express] A full titanium alloy diaphragm coupling designed for water-medium heavy-load transmission has entered production. It combines high torque capacity, large displacement compensation and full titanium corrosion resistance. The team minimized water disturbance through fluid simulation and structural optimization, and solved precision machining challenges for integrated titanium alloy diaphragm profiles. The coupling has passed validation tests and is suitable for ship propulsion and offshore engineering equipment.

[SMM Titanium Express] The first phase of Taitong Titanium's 100,000 tpa precision titanium and titanium alloy strip project in Guangde, Anhui has commenced production, with the first coil successfully rolled. The project, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan, utilizes advanced 20-high reversible rolling mills. Products meet high standards for aerospace, medical devices and consumer electronics. The company plans a total investment of 2 billion yuan across two phases, aiming to become the world's largest cold-rolled precision titanium strip production base.
