Current status of titanium for construction in various countries

The application of titanium in the construction field mainly includes roofs, curtain walls, outer walls, sealing slabs, ceilings, harbor facilities, bridges, art sculptures, monuments, railings, etc. In some developed countries such as the United States and Japan, there are more mature technologies and Rich experience, but China, still in the development stage.

1, Japan

Japan was the first country to use titanium in construction and was a leader in titanium for building materials. Because Japan is an island country, buildings in coastal areas are highly corroded, and the excellent corrosion resistance of titanium can solve this problem well.

The number of buildings using titanium in Japan ranks first in the world, and titanium is used in large buildings such as the Tokyo National Museum, the International Convention and Exhibition Center, the Kansai Airport, and the Fukuoka Large-scale Open-air Stadium.

2, China

The most striking feature of China's construction titanium is the dome of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. It uses about 100t of titanium with 0.4mm thickness. It can show the infinite charm of titanium as a building material as the light changes color.

In addition, there are also titanium alloys used in the 2008 Olympic Games "Bird's Nest", Hangzhou Grand Theatre and Hefei Grand Theatre.

3. Other countries (regions)

The Guggenheim Museum in Spain uses a 0.3mm thick titanium plate, which is 60t thick and sturdy and beautiful. It was named "the most beautiful museum on earth".

The Abu Dhabi Airport in the United Arab Emirates, designed and expanded by the Paris Airport Group of France, has a structure with a titanium content of 800 tons. It is the first example of the world's first airport using titanium as a building material.

In addition, titanium is used in buildings such as the National Science Center in the United Kingdom and the Studios in California.
