Industrial development in Liangshan High quality promotion of innovative development in the vanadium titanium industry

As is well known, Liangshan is rich in various mineral resources, including vanadium titanium magnetite needed for manufacturing semiconductors and aerospace, with a reserve of 4.2 billion tons. At present, Liangshan has formed a vanadium titanium new material industry cluster led by Xichang Steel and Vanadium, continuously supplying new material raw materials required for aerospace to domestic and international markets.
Enrichment of vanadium titanium magnetite resources in Liangshan
1. The vanadium titanium industry is developing rapidly
"I never imagined before that many of the materials used in the construction of domestic airplanes flying in the sky and high-speed spacecraft flying in space were produced from vanadium titanium ore excavated around us, which instantly added to my pride in my hometown! Recently, Li Xiangyu, a resident of Xichang who works in Chongqing, and more than 100 experts from the high-purity titanium industry from all over the country gathered in Xichang to attend the production ceremony of Xichang Chuangrun New Materials Co., Ltd.'s super large ingot high-purity titanium, and said with joy.".
"We chose Xichang because it is a location for producing vanadium titanium * and a rich area for vanadium titanium magnetite in China. It has huge advantages in climate conditions, green energy resources, etc." said Wu Jinghui, Chairman and General Manager of Ningbo Chuangrun New Materials Co., Ltd.
As a practical achievement of Liangshan Prefecture's in-depth implementation of the national "Yongliang East West Cooperation" to smooth the domestic circulation, the Xichang Chuangrun project is a comprehensive high-purity titanium and high-end titanium alloy integrated industrial base fully invested by Ningbo Chuangrun in the southwest region, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan. The project has been put into operation successively, and 100 high-purity titanium electrolysis production lines have been constructed. The project uses 99.8% purity metal sponge titanium as raw material, and adopts a new generation molten salt electrolysis method combined with electron beam melting process. The annual production of high-purity titanium with a purity of 99.999% is 1408 tons, and high-end titanium (alloy) is 3036 tons. The first phase can achieve an annual output value of over 1.3 billion yuan after completion, and the second phase is expected to achieve an annual output value of about 2.2 billion yuan after completion.
Wu Jinghui said, "Developing new quality productivity is an inherent requirement and important focus to promote high-quality development. High purity titanium Chuangrun new materials are 100% independently developed, manufactured, and have independent intellectual property rights. In addition to equipment for molten salt electrolysis purification, the Xichang Chuangrun project also has advanced electron beam melting and deep processing equipment. These equipment have achieved greater automation and digital control, and quality stability will be greatly improved."
The official production of the project will gradually form a production capacity of over 10000 tons of high-purity titanium and high-end titanium alloys, further improving the titanium manufacturing level in the Panxi region and promoting the high-quality development of the vanadium titanium industry in Xichang and Liangshan.
Recently, in the Xichang Vanadium and Titanium Industry Park, under the clear sky of midsummer, another key project was accelerated in construction, with rows of steel columns and excavators and cranes working together closely... This is the construction site of the Xichang Huateng New Materials Aerospace Grade Titanium Alloy and Derivatives Project.
It is reported that the project was introduced from Beijing and listed as a key project in Sichuan Province in 2024. It is expected to be completed by the end of this year and officially put into operation in the first quarter of next year. The project is divided into two phases for implementation. The first phase mainly involves the melting and forging of titanium and titanium alloys; The second phase will build a sponge titanium production line. After the completion of the two phases, it is expected that the total output value will reach 5 billion yuan. The project will be committed to building an important domestic titanium alloy production base, mainly utilizing the abundant vanadium and titanium resources in Xichang, to build a full process project of titanium slag, casting, smelting, and forging in the titanium industry, and to build a full industry chain of titanium slag sponge titanium titanium material, integrating research and development, production, and manufacturing. Its products are mainly used in multiple fields such as aviation and aerospace, medical and health, marine vessels, cultural and sports, petrochemicals, and land combat equipment.
It is reported that two projects in the vanadium and titanium industry park are promoting the park to become a new material industry base for vanadium and titanium, as well as a core base for the Panxi National Strategic Resource Innovation and Development Pilot Zone, contributing solid strength to the realization of the national vanadium and titanium industry strategy.
Another good news also came from the vanadium and titanium industrial park: Since the beginning of this year, the hot rolling pickling unit of Xichang Steel Vanadium Plate Plant has optimized the pickling process, equipment maintenance, and production management, creating new production records for the yield and hourly output of pickling plate products. The daily output of the hot rolling pickling unit has reached 3361.6 tons, achieving * operation.
The Chuangrun project is officially put into operation in Xichang
2. The "Three Brothers" of Titanium, Zirconium and Hafnium Enter Xichang
"The three brothers of titanium, zirconium and hafnium walked into Xichang, and came to a dialogue of industrial integration in the the Year of the Loong - gently 'zirconium' v. 'titanium': we are waiting for you 'hafnium' in Xichang"! Pan Tingxiang, a professional journalist for China Nonferrous Metals Daily, said humorously and happily.
Learn, exchange, draw inspiration, and deepen cultivation, so that new quality productivity can be conveyed at the annual meeting. At the end of April and beginning of May this year, the China Titanium Zirconium Hafnium Industry Conference and the Xichang Vanadium and Titanium Industry Promotion Conference were held by the Qionghai Lake in Xichang, and industry experts gathered in Xichang.
The main reason for choosing to hold the meeting in Xichang is that Liangshan has unique strategic resources, abundant clean energy, and abundant mineral resources. Among them, the vanadium titanium magnetite needed for manufacturing semiconductors and aerospace has a reserve of 4.2 billion tons, forming a vanadium titanium new material industry cluster led by steel and vanadium.
It is precisely because Liangshan has a vanadium titanium steel new material cluster that it has found a fitting point for convening the National Titanium Zirconium Hafnium Industry Annual Conference, Resource Guarantee and Green Smelting Forum.
At the meeting, the development measures of Liangshan vanadium titanium were praised. At present, relying on the Xichang Vanadium and Titanium Industry Park, the entire state highlights the development concept of "leading by leaders+chain development+park agglomeration", and promotes high-quality innovative development of vanadium and titanium new materials through "building, extending, supplementing, and strengthening the chain". Supported by projects such as promoting the comprehensive utilization and efficiency improvement of vanadium, vanadium, and titanium resources in Xichang Steel, and the 10 million ton technological transformation and expansion of Chongqing Iron and Steel Xichang Mining, we aim to strengthen the development and mining of vanadium titanium magnetite, as well as traditional products such as steel smelting; Vigorously developing new material industries such as cold-rolled stamping parts, vanadium flow batteries, vanadium aluminum alloys, vanadium energy materials, titanium ingots, titanium plates and coils, titanium dioxide, titanium alloys, etc., and introducing major projects such as Ningbo Chuangrun High Purity Titanium and Beijing Huateng Aerospace High end Titanium Production Line, have accumulated momentum to promote the development of the vanadium and titanium industry, thus forming a agglomeration effect of the vanadium and titanium industry. Currently, dozens of related enterprises in the upstream and midstream of the industrial chain have gathered in Xichang, with main products covering iron ore, titanium concentrate, raw material vanadium products, etc. Xichang alone has 16 vanadium titanium steel scale industrial enterprises, with a cumulative output value of 43.04 billion yuan completed last year.
At the meeting, consensus was reached that Liangshan should continue to expand and optimize the all vanadium and titanium industry chain, carry out investment attraction and vanadium titanium industry chain project support around the vanadium and titanium products of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, build the Xichang titanium dioxide industry base in China, and create a "park in park" for the titanium industry in the vanadium and titanium park, achieving on-site transformation of vanadium and titanium resources without leaving the park. Supporting vanadium and titanium enterprises to increase energy and expand production, apply for major scientific and technological research projects, and establish key laboratories for comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources and research centers for comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium solid waste through school enterprise cooperation, becoming the core area of Panxi's strategic resource innovation and development pilot zone and an important carrier of vanadium titanium magnetite resource base.
3. Discuss the development plan of the titanium industry together
"The density of titanium is 4.51g/cm3, which is 57% of steel, but slightly more than half of steel, less than twice that of aluminum, and its strength is three times greater than aluminum. Usually, aluminum loses its high mechanical properties at 150 ℃ and stainless steel loses its high mechanical properties at 310 ℃, while titanium alloy still maintains good mechanical properties at around 500 ℃. Titanium has good heat resistance and is suitable for turbine discs and blades of aircraft engines and compressors, as well as the skin of aircraft fuselage. It is also a special material for super projects such as rockets, satellites, and especially aircraft carriers. The raw materials for domestic titanium are continuously exported from Xichang!" Pan Tingxiang explained.
The convening of the Titanium, Zirconium, and Hafnium Industry Conference linked zirconium, hafnium, and titanium together because the three metals belong to the same VB group in the chemical periodic table, and therefore have many similarities. Therefore, a Titanium, Zirconium, and Hafnium Branch was established in China to conduct professional research and explore development. Especially in recent years, the titanium industry has developed rapidly and has a promising future. Based on this, practitioners have entered Xichang with a desire to explore the development of the titanium industry, gather information on the titanium industry, and plan for future development in the beautiful Xichang.
Duan Debing, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, Vice President and Secretary General of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, emphasized that Xichang, formerly known as Qiongdu and Jianchang, has a long history and is an important town on the ancient "Southern Silk Road". Nowadays, Xichang has formed a three-dimensional transportation network with "one aviation, one railway, three vertical and one horizontal" as the main backbone, laying a solid foundation for development. The abundant solar and thermal resources here have nurtured industrial parks mainly composed of vanadium, titanium, and Chengliang, forming industrial clusters such as vanadium, titanium, steel, and new materials, becoming the main driving force for industrial and economic growth in Xichang. Due to the presence of rare new material clusters such as vanadium, titanium, steel, etc. in China and the world, Xichang City has found a convergence point for the annual conference of the titanium zirconium hafnium industry, resource guarantee, and green smelting forum.
Lei Rangqi, President of the Titanium Zirconium Hafnium Branch of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, pointed out that through the holding of this industry conference, we hope to gather wisdom and strength, enable the titanium industry to seize the opportunity of industrial transformation, scientifically construct an industrial system, and jointly promote a new pattern of development in the titanium industry. The Titanium Zirconium Hafnium Branch should continue to uphold the purpose of serving the development of the industry, based in China and looking globally, further strengthen platform construction, promote exchanges and cooperation, guide the titanium industry to adapt to the development trend, build a modern industrial system, and jointly create a new pattern of titanium industry development.
It is reported that Xichang City fully utilizes the advantages of national, provincial, and state support for the development of the vanadium and titanium industry, including favorable policies, unique resource endowments, superior comprehensive carrying capacity, and sound factor guarantees. In the context of "favorable timing, favorable location, and harmonious people", it is promoting 20000 tons of high-end titanium and titanium alloy sponge titanium production line, high-end titanium and titanium alloy forging, and other vanadium and titanium industry investment projects, creating a new business card for the vanadium and titanium industry that can be recognized and called out nationwide and even globally.
In the future, Liangshan will continue to expand and optimize the all vanadium and titanium industry chain, focusing on attracting investment and supporting projects for the vanadium and titanium products of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group. It will create the Xichang titanium dioxide industry base in China and the titanium industry "park in park" in the vanadium and titanium park, achieving on-site transformation of vanadium and titanium resources without leaving the park.
Open cooperation and mutual benefit are the trends of the times. Liangshan Prefecture is making every effort to continuously optimize the business environment, drive the landing of a number of good and large projects such as vanadium and titanium, and work together to promote the high-quality development of Liangshan's economy and society, advance the new journey of Liangshan's modernization construction, and compose a more magnificent chapter.
