Do you understand the current situation of titanium used in construction in various countries

The application of titanium in the field of architecture mainly includes roofs, curtain walls, outer walls, eaves panels, canopies, harbor facilities, bridges, art sculptures, monuments, railings, etc. In some developed countries such as the United States and Japan, titanium has mature technology and rich experience, but it is still in the development stage in China.

1. Japan

Japan was one of the earliest countries to use titanium in construction, and is in a leading position in the use of titanium in building materials. Because Japan is an island country with severe corrosion of coastal buildings, the excellent corrosion resistance of titanium can effectively solve this problem.

Japan has the world's largest number of buildings using titanium materials, with large buildings such as the Tokyo National Museum, International Convention and Exhibition Hall, Kansai Airport, and Fukuoka Stadium all using titanium materials.

2. China

The most eye-catching use of titanium in Chinese architecture is the dome of the National Grand Theater, which uses approximately 100 tons of titanium material with a thickness of 0.4mm. It can change colors with light, showcasing the infinite charm of titanium metal as a building material.

In addition, titanium materials were also used in the Bird's Nest, Hangzhou Grand Theatre, and Hefei Grand Theatre during the 2008 Olympic Games.

3. Other countries (regions)

The Guggenheim Museum in Spain uses 0.3mm thick titanium plates, with a usage of 60t. It is sturdy and beautiful, and has been rated as the "most beautiful museum on Earth".

The Abu Dhabi Airport in the United Arab Emirates, designed and expanded by the Paris Airport Group in France, uses 800 tons of titanium in its structure, making it the world's first example of using titanium as a building material for airports.

In addition, buildings such as the National Science Center in the UK and the California Cinema Apartments in the United States also use titanium materials.
