As we all know, the area of the ocean occupies 70% of the earth's area. The ocean is rich in resources, including marine fish that we eat daily, industrial oil and gas resources, energy utilization contained in the alternation of seawater tides, and many organisms and resources in unknown deep-sea areas to be explored. Being able to make good use of the ocean will be a wealth of mankind. However, in the process of marine development and exploration, the high salinity, biological pollution, and corrosiveness of seawater have caused us on the earth. The advantages and characteristics of titanium and titanium alloy materials have highlighted their application prospects in the marine field.
Titanium is a material with excellent physical properties and stable chemical properties. Titanium and its alloys have high strength, low specific gravity, and are resistant to seawater corrosion and marine atmosphere corrosion, which can well meet people's application requirements in marine engineering. After years of hard work by titanium industry professionals and marine engineering application researchers, titanium has been widely used in marine oil and gas development, port construction, coastal power stations, seawater desalination, ships, marine fisheries, and marine thermal energy conversion. Now, titanium for marine engineering has become one of the main areas of titanium civilian application.
