Ansteel: Strengthening the "hardcore base" of the titanium metal industry chain and building the strategic engine of a major country's heavy equipment

Titanium is widely used in fields such as national defense and military industry, aerospace, nuclear equipment manufacturing, marine engineering, biomedicine, chemical equipment, and daily sports. It is known as the "space metal," "ocean metal," "strategic metal," and "future metal. Ansteel Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Ansteel) deeply implements the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and from the perspective of the entire industry chain, deeply implements the construction of the "Top 100 Projects" of the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council for new industries, accelerating the creation of a modern industrial chain for titanium metal new materials based on domestic resources and supporting national strategies.
Take multiple measures to enhance the ability to independently guarantee resources
Ansteel always keeps in mind its historical mission of developing strategic resources in Panxi and developing the national vanadium titanium industry. It firmly promotes the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, continuously increases the proportion of sponge titanium based on domestic mineral resources, and continuously consolidates the security of the titanium metal industry chain.
Vigorously carry out technological breakthroughs in the high-level utilization of titanium resources, focus on the deep utilization of low-grade ores, continuously optimize the washing process of titanium concentrate, promote the demonstration and application of advanced technologies such as micro fine titanium concentrate recovery and low-carbon smelting of titanium slag, and build high-level demonstration factories. Implement optimization of large-scale molten salt chlorination furnace production line, based on the current situation of domestic titanium resources, continuously promote the improvement of molten salt chlorination efficiency, synchronize the resource utilization of waste salt, and achieve green transformation and upgrading. Promote the research on titanium extraction technology from blast furnace slag, focus on low-cost, large-scale, and industrial application goals, solve the difficult problem of titanium type blast furnace slag treatment, increase the comprehensive utilization rate of titanium resources to over 55%, and significantly enhance the strategic resource guarantee capability.
Strengthening and supplementing the chain, forging the main body's support capability
Ansteel is focusing on key links such as the manufacturing and application of high-end titanium materials, accelerating the construction of a number of key projects to strengthen and supplement the supply chain, effectively playing a leading and demonstrative role in major projects and key projects, and promoting the concentration of resource elements in key basic areas and high-value links of the industrial chain.
System reinforcement and strengthening of the industrial foundation, fully leveraging the joint advantages of titanium and steel, building a production line for 5000 tons of hot-rolled and pickled titanium coils and 10000 tons of cold-rolled titanium coils, and filling in the processing capacity of hot and cold titanium plates before and after processing; The construction of TA18 and TA16 titanium alloy seamless pipe production demonstration lines has achieved new breakthroughs in applications such as aviation and nuclear power, enhancing the ability to guarantee high-end products. The implementation of mergers and acquisitions has helped to concentrate industries. In 2024, Ansteel successfully restructured China Aluminum Shenjia, adding an annual production capacity of over 8000 tons of titanium materials, reaching an annual production capacity of 20000 tons of titanium materials, taking a solid step towards professional integration and further enhancing industry concentration. Expand industrial chain cooperation to create a new model of cooperation, adhere to openness and win-win, and jointly build a 20000 ton annual titanium billet forging production line with Zhongyuan Titanium Industry, establishing a new model of cooperation between state-owned enterprises and excellent private enterprises.
Collaborative innovation, strengthening strategic support capabilities
Ansteel has a deep understanding of the development trend of the titanium industry, and has joined forces with scientific research institutes in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Northwestern Institute of Nonferrous Metals and other industries, as well as advantageous enterprises such as Baoti Group and Hunan Jintian, to continue to increase investment in scientific and technological innovation, break through the bottle neck of material research and manufacturing, and continuously improve the manufacturing level and strategic support capacity of high-end titanium materials.
Continuously improving the technological level of process equipment, through process optimization, equipment upgrading, intelligent manufacturing and other means, producing high-grade raw materials such as small-sized sponge titanium and rotor grade sponge titanium, laying a solid foundation for the development of high-end titanium products. Continuously breaking through the bottleneck of advanced forming technology, we have achieved stable production of high-precision and cutting-edge products such as aviation titanium alloy hydraulic pipes, thin-walled profiles, large-diameter rolled rings, and single heavy aviation fastener wires, overcoming a number of "bottleneck" problems. We will deepen the research and development of cutting-edge titanium metal technologies, break through technical bottlenecks such as high-temperature titanium alloys for aviation engines, titanium based intermetallic compound materials, titanium based metal composite materials, titanium alloys for ultra-high strength fasteners, high-strength and tough armor protection titanium alloys, high-strength and tough titanium alloys for pressure resistant shells, and high hardness and wear resistant titanium alloys, and form a series of key new material products in the fields of aerospace, weapon equipment, and marine engineering.
Looking ahead to the future, Ansteel will implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's directive to actively develop strategic emerging industries during his inspection of Ansteel Group. Based on the new development stage, we will implement the new development concept, integrate into the new development pattern, and focus on the comprehensive utilization of Panxi resources and the development and application of high-end titanium materials, guided by the construction of the "Top 100 Projects". We will continuously improve the resilience and development quality of the titanium metal industry chain supply chain.
