What is the application of titanium in architecture and decoration?

In terms of titanium for construction, Japan is in a leading position and built the world's first titanium roof (Hayasuihime Temple) in 1973. 1995 was the heyday of titanium in Japanese construction, with an annual consumption of 294 tons. Japan has mature technology and accumulated rich experience in this area, and has accepted foreign orders. The current market size is about 200t/year. Based on its excellent cold rolling and surface treatment technology, Nippon Steel Corporation of Japan produces high-quality and uniquely designed titanium building materials.

In order to promote the application of titanium in the construction industry, Timet Company in the United States not only provides a variety of products, but also proposes a 100 year quality assurance. In October 1997, Timet provided 80t titanium decorative panels for the exterior walls of the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum in Spain, becoming a pioneer in titanium for European and American architecture. The roof of Abu Dhabi Airport in France is made of titanium, with a structural usage of 800 tons. This airport is the world's first example of using titanium as a building structural material. The outdoor caf é in Conde Nasta Company Building in New York uses 5t titanium as its interior decoration.
