Titanium strip is difficult to be produced. In hot working, it is very easy to absorb impurities such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. At the same time, the wear resistance of titanium strip is poor, and the production process is complex. Before 2007, the industrial production of titanium strips in China was in a blank state, with titanium strips completely relying on imports, high procurement costs, long cycles, and unstable quality, seriously affecting the development of downstream application fields of titanium plates, strips, and welded pipes. In recent years, multiple domestic enterprises have successively rolled hot-rolled and cold-rolled titanium strips. Significant progress has been made in the production technology, heat treatment technology, and rolling process control technology of hot-rolled and cold-rolled pure titanium strips. With the development of domestic nuclear power, the demand for thin-walled titanium welded pipes, chemical and plate replacement titanium strips is becoming increasingly strong.
