降低钛的成本是进一步扩大钛市场规模的中心问题,而新的生产工艺又是决定成本高低的关键。各钛生产厂共同进行以突破新生产技术为目标的研究工作,特别是以降低成本效果最显著的新冶炼方法的开发作为重点。共同开发的目标是大阪钛公司的方案(流动式连续气相冶炼法)及东邦钛公司的方案(液体高温高压法)。 To reduce the cost of titanium is to further expand the size of the titanium market, the central issue, and the new production process is the key to determining the level of costs. Titanium production plants work together to research breakthroughs in new production technologies, with particular emphasis on the development of new smelting methods that reduce costs and have the most significant impact. Joint development goals are Osaka Titanium solution (flow continuous gas phase smelting method) and Toho Titanium solution (liquid high temperature and pressure method).
