Titanium For Marine Equipment

Mar 02, 2022

Titanium alloy can not only make marine equipment develop towards "deep, large, far, high ", but also fully realize the same life as the main body of marine equipment. It is the best choice for marine equipment. At present, China pays more attention to the application of titanium in marine equipment, and the amount of titanium used is also increasing. Deep-sea pressure shell, seawater pipeline, cylinder superstructure, frame, etc. will become the key development direction of marine titanium.

At present, there are many applications of titanium in the shipping industry at home and abroad.

However, the material system in relevant specifications is not perfect. It is hoped that relevant units will organize discussion and improve the material system in current relevant codes such as Titanium Pressure Vessel, Material and Welding, so as to facilitate the designer's reference.

Upper buildings: 

At present, there are some application examples in domestic warship superstructure, such as Ti70 (TA23) for mast, TA5 and TA7 bar for radar antenna, TA2 and TA5 plate for hangar skin, and frame structure.

Titanium is also used extensively in the upper building areas of the LPD17 amphibious dock transport ship, reducing its mass by about 50 percent and greatly improving its stability.

Production Applications in Other Areas

In addition to a large amount of titanium used in the above pressure-resistant housing, piping system, and superstructure, other components are also useful in marine equipment at home and abroad.
