Titanium and titanium alloys have a series of important properties such as high melting point, low density, high specific strength, corrosion resistance, non-toxic and harmless, biophilic, non-magnetic, etc. use. In recent years, with everyone's pursuit of high-quality life, more people choose to use healthier products, and the daily necessities of pure titanium have also been widely praised by the market. With the advantages of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, it has been favored by consumers.
On the first floor of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Office Building in Beijing, a group of exhibits attracted many people in the exhibition "Charming is far-reaching, Titanium all the way to a strong country" co-hosted by China Nonferrous Metals Newspaper and China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Titanium, Zirconium and Hafnium Branch. people who come to visit. Gorgeous colors, exquisite craftsmanship, handmade titanium cups, this is a product of Japanese brand Horie. In addition to expensive imported products, local brands are more popular. Among them, there are exquisite titanium handicrafts and titanium kitchen utensils from Baoti Group, titanium Liwei household appliances from Shenzhen Ultimate Titanium Industry, Sino and Boyou titanium products. All kinds of thermos cups, and pure titanium tableware of Zhongshan Titanium Association.
In the field of civilian products, the eight core advantages of titanium make the civilian life products made by titanium become the first choice for healthy life. Healthy, titanium does not contain harmful metals and any toxic and side elements, and is an ideal and healthy kitchen utensil material; environmentally friendly, pure titanium components are harmless to the human body and will not pollute the earth and air environment; antibacterial, titanium containers can inhibit the growth of bacteria ;Lightweight, the density of titanium metal is lower than that of steel, the weight of titanium metal products is lighter than steel products for the same volume and the same strength; anti-corrosion, titanium can be stable in many media; high temperature resistance, the melting point of titanium is 1668 ℃ , can be used for a long time at a high temperature of 600 ° C without fatigue; low temperature resistance, the strength of titanium will increase with the decrease of temperature; high specific strength, high tensile/yield strength of titanium, in the same volume of metal products , the strength of titanium products ranks first.
Regarding the application of titanium in civilian life products, the author believes that titanium, as a biophilic metal, should maximize its own excellent performance when used in civilian life products, rather than producing titanium for civilian life products. For example, the titanium bottle opener in the exhibition, from the perspective of material, titanium is strong, and the service life of the bottle opener made of titanium is much longer than that of the common iron or stainless steel bottle openers on the market. But does a corkscrew really need titanium? The bottle opener does not come into contact with food in a large area during the use process. Properties of subelements. Pure titanium bottle openers may not be suitable for promotion, but they are also a good choice as meaningful souvenirs and small gifts for friends.
In recent years, many companies have used titanium in kitchen utensils, such as tea makers. Tea is alkaline, while tea soup is acidic. In the process of high temperature tea brewing, the acid-alkaline environment will cause chemical reaction of stainless steel, and even precipitate heavy metals and dissolve into the tea soup. The accumulation of heavy metals in the body affects health. In the solution of strong acid and alkali, titanium will not be corroded, and in contact with air, a dense and stable oxide film with strong adhesion and good protection will be formed on the metal surface. This oxide film makes titanium super strong. Corrosion resistance, can effectively resist the erosion of various corrosive substances, even if it is damaged by external force, the oxide film will quickly regenerate. The pure titanium tea maker can retain the original flavor of the tea soup and the original aroma of the tea leaves during the tea making process, and have a better experience in taste and taste.
In this exhibition, the most abundant in quantity and variety are titanium thermos cups, which include the most basic styles, as well as those with filters and caps, and smart thermos cups with temperature display on the lid. The diversification of cup styles meets the needs of different consumers, and also opens up the market for titanium civilian life products. In addition to thermos cups, titanium chopsticks also come in a variety of styles. In addition to the original titanium color, the chopsticks also add many colors and patterns through craftsmanship. While ensuring the health of the selection of materials, the product is also beautiful. In the past, due to the low surface hardness of titanium chopsticks, when titanium tableware and porcelain tableware are scratched, dark gray titanium scraps scratches that cannot be removed will be left. Although the scratches are harmless to the human body, they will affect the beauty of the tableware. Reduce usage experience. With the continuous upgrading of titanium tableware, there are now hardened titanium tableware, which will not scratch porcelain tableware.
In addition to the titanium household products in this exhibition, titanium materials are also widely used in outdoor cooking utensils and tableware due to their lightweight and healthy characteristics. Pure titanium portable tableware is light in weight and strong in strength. It is very popular among camping enthusiasts.
It can be seen that in the development process of titanium civil life products in recent years, from the current market situation, there has been a great technical improvement, and a leap-forward development in style and practicability. Consumers are pursuing a healthy life. At the same time, it has a more comprehensive understanding of titanium products. There is still great potential for the development of titanium consumer products. The current titanium consumer products need to be improved in terms of style design and product concept. There is still a lot of room for the transition from product to commodity, which is also the need for technology research and development and product innovation. direction of effort. To promote healthy titanium, the future can be expected.
